WEDNESDAY
This fine razor somehow fell out of my regular razor rotation(!). That oversight has been fixed!
The big round-point F.W. Engles 'Leader' is a smooth, comfortable razor that yielded a near-BBS 3-pass shave.
L'Occitane Cade lather and Musgo Real No.3 finish. Excellent shave!
Have a happy Hump Day, all!

Nice amber handle on the brush. I see you're a fan of greens hues nature provides.

 

What a beautiful brush!

 

Very nice

Grabbed the Aesop Bowl for the first time in about a year.
Results were excellent. The Manchurian picks up a lot of soap and whips it into a very lovely,
albeit a bit light (airy) for my tastes.
Nevertheless, excellent results.

The Big Fellow is a real work of art. Fun to use and every bit as good a shaver as today's equipment.
I am still titanicing my way through the Proraso products.
Almost there.
Three pics today.

Have a great day!​

 

Home with a sick kid so I had time to break out my Pal.

•Pal Adjustable w/new Schick blade
•Cremo Cooling

2 pass DFS+ with the Pal set on low. No issues.

•Lucky Tiger lotion
•$1 Phoenix (Blue Cross?) Skin Bracer clone
•Krew Comb Stick for the moustache. Works pretty well and I'll never run out.

 

Excellent setup!

 

Beautiful setup Primo, that brush is gorgeous.

 

Great shave today.

Nice box set with the Big Fellow. Is that original or a re-plate as it appears to be in excellent condition.

 

My shave of the day.

Prep - hot face wash
Razor - 46-47 aristricrat
Blade - vintage Gillette super stainless ( the spoiler) (4)
Brush - trader joes synthetic
Soap - tabac
Post - witch hazel, trader joe balm
Cologne - citrus musk

- what can say ... Simply fantastic shave.. The razor is awesome. The blade was great on its 4th shave. The soap.. Well im still trying to get it slick.. But I'm a happy person today. No irritation. Two weepers one was a small pimple.
The audio feedback on this razor is somethings I didn't expect. Most of the razors I have that I've used don't have much audio to them. I wasn't going to shave with this razor today as I was committed to my 7day focus on each razor, but I couldn't help it..
Thanks @Robyflexx .. Lol you gave the small nudge to get me to do it.. Now I don't want to finish my focus 2 days in...
Happy shaving gents!

 

Alright! Sorry bro, I didn't mean to mess up your focus. I'm sure glad you like the razor. I think it's a beautifully balanced razor that does a great job.

 

Thank you gentlemen. The Big Fellow is the original silver and it is in, not exaggerating, like new condition.

 

Thank you. I wish it were an M7 (The grass is always greener...)

8 the hard way.

I hate saying this over and over, BBS,BBS,BBS. Two passes, 1st straight away WTG, 2nd pass ATG, with a small amount of clean up. It just keeps getting better. My only problem is it`s becoming too quick,(sometimes I need quick if my meds start to fail), but a happy camper am I!! As Rufus said, his shadow was still hidden after 12 hrs.(I think). Mine doesen`t last quite that long but it doesn`t show until middle of the evening. Kudos to jmaier.
