Good to see you back

 

I'm happy you're back @Ahh Oui

 

Thursday's


TESC Pre-Shave Oil
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Jayaruh #49 Boar
Pal Adjustable
Schick Injector
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Rose Petal WH
Aqua Velva Ice Blue

The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #49 boar brush. Two passes with my Pal Adjustable razor and a Schick Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Aqua Velva After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Welcome back @ Ahh Oui!

 

Yes, welcome back! Life does get busy sometimes

 

pics, man.
can't get enough hone15 pics. we(I) want to hear all about it.

 

Wednesday:
hot shower w/Saponificio Artigianale Fiorentino Rose Blossom bar soap
ShaveSecret PSO
Bunny V3 2+ passes
Schick (3)
Semogue Owners Club badger
Cyril R Salter Wild Rose cream in a warm bowl
Thayers Rose w/aloe
TSD Victorian Rose A/S

I'm not one to have the camera in the bathroom but, even with too much steam in the air for a good picture, I couldn't resist the urge to take a photo of how much lather a little bit of Cyril R Salter cream produces. Always an outstanding performer.

Third shave with the Bunny and I tried something different. I've been holding it like a traditional razor and finding that I kept losing my angle. I would start okay but then gradually drop the angle too far. Today I decided since part of the inspiration for this razor was the Schick H model, to try holding the razor just above the top of the handle, gripping it similarly to the way I would hold onto a Schick H. It seemed to work a little better in that it kept me more focused on the proper angle. I could feel the rivets with my fingers and my thumb was touching the comb screw. This put the end of the handle against the inside of my palm and the result was that I did indeed keep the angle where it should be. Now its probably time to leave the Mild comb behind and go back to the Notso comb.

 

Razor...ikon Shavecraft 101
Blade....astra sp
Soap.... tiki surfs up!
Brush... Wolf whiskers synthetic
Post... thayers rose petal
Balm.... stirling executive man

 

I like it, alot. the whole line works very well after my shaves. vetiver from then smells great, my only complaint is the scents are not as long lasting as I would like.
but thats true in many.
I like their signature(called kolonia), Sandalo,vetiver, ttobacco,and their rose.
vetiver and Sandalo being my favorites.

 

What a gorgeous setup brother.

 

Thank you my friend. A great shave.

Schick E2 (Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada)
Brush - Vintage badger
Shave stick - Speick


E2 are not for the faint of heart. Superb shaving device that can knock down a multi-day growth with little fanfare when handled correctly. Can be man-eaters if pushed. I like them.

 

Very nice! Rob how's the Speick stick?...I've been thinking of trying it.

 

Speick-tacular and thanks.

 

Good One!

 

SHAVE OF THE DAY


Prep: Musgo Real Oakmoss
Razor: Gillette Tech
Blade: RAPIRA Swedish supersteel (1st shave)
Brush: RazoRock plissoft
Soap: Tiki- Surf's Up
Aftershave: Aqua Velva (decanted)
Balm: DIY Tangerine Pachouli Balm


2 pass shave today, decided to go with the Tiki soap. This one has lost most of its scent from age, but it still makes a wonderful lather anyways. The Rapira Blade today was a bit noisy and it was a loud shave and didn't seem to be very smooth. Finished the shave without any irritation but not as close as usual. Hope everyone had a great shave!

 

That is a great composition

 

"but I don't need a 2nd one..."

You'll get over that after you acquire a few more

 

Lol I almost bought a couple more because they were soo cheap! But quickly closed the page.. No way no how.!!!

 

This is my new screen saver on my phone
