SoS: February 29, 2016 - March 6, 2016

That's one chilli shave for tomorrow Jeff. The handle on that brush is awesome...

 

Nice again Rob!

May I ask how u like the R41? Can u use it as a daily shaver?

 

Thanks, buddy!

I fell in love with that brush as soon as I saw it on Italian Barber's website. I think it's a gorgeous brush, and does it ever drive the lather into my face!

 

It is my daily shaver now Lance. I love it! Absolutely dolphin smooooth irritation free shaves every single day. Efficiency to the max, it's a brilliant razor head IMHO.

I received a wonderful gift from mrchick and gmaugie007 today, a beautiful flare tip. I put it to work right away, a wonderful shave with no irritation and one small nick that I only noticed once I put on the ASB, absolutely not the fault of the razor. I also started off the month using hot water, I'm going to try only hot water this week then switch to cold next week.
PSO- Peppermint homemade
Razor- Gillette Flare Tip
Blade- Astra SP (1)
Brush- Omega synthetic
Soap- Arko shave stick
ASB- Nivea men cooling
I went WTG, WTG and XTG and finished with a DFS, BBS above the jawline. A very enjoyable shave tonight that helped me relax after a very long day

 

February Focus - German blades DONE! Best of the Best to the Finish!

February 29

Razor - '46-'47 Gillette Aristocrat
Blade - (1)
Brush - Vie-Long 12601
Soap - Proraso Green tub
Post - Cold rinse, Alum, Nivea, The Veg

Last day of February on a leap year and I'm finishing the month with my favorite and ultimate shave. The "detente shave" featuring American brass and Soviet steel. The Aristocrat with a Voskhod and it always makes me wonder why I don't just go minimalist and use this blade with this razor for every shave for the rest of my life. The lather combo isn't my favorite but still a great one with the Vie Long horse brush and Proraso. A great way to finish the month.

All that needs to be said is that I did a full three pass just to enjoy a full shave, ended BBS and irritation free and finished with the Veg that produced great sales again today. Ah, yes, this is living.

I'll get my March plan up soon. Trying to settle in a bit and be around more in the next month. Not enough shenanigans in my life in the new year so far. That's gotta change!

Stellar line up Guy. The Russe is just fantstic. I would love to find a cologne with the same scent.

 

Thanks Rodger and I agree. Maybe if we drop enough hints over at B&M they will come out with a Cologne line. Did you ever buy the soap?

Menthol Monday is a catchy thing, but I'm no @crackstar . C.O.B. cream is chill enough for me. Still tuning in on the amount of water needed, especially for a straight shave. By the time I got WTG & XTG finished, hydration was correct for Fat Boy on 4 to touch up. Rinse, alum block, rinse & Aqua Velva for a cool finish.
Good day folks
