SoS: March 21, 2016 - March 27, 2016

So is it as good as they all say?...

 

WoW!

 

Thank you, guys

 

That razor is a beauty - and yes, Cavendish scent is fantastic. One of those soaps I always take a smell at when I pass the bathroom cabinet

 

A 'gentle' beast of a razor, I'm happy to report. Rather easy to use and super smooth, despite it's heft.
Had it been made with a spike point….well, that'd be a bit more menacing!

 

The BIC head design is patterned after the Schick. Good design. I don't care for horse either. Piffed mine.

Up early, to celebrate the resurection.
Three quick passes, finished with the noir. It did nicely with the casablanca.

Mastro Livi RWL34, 9/8 Full Hollow, French Point​

RWL34! This stainless steel remains one of my favorite ones for a straight razor's blade. This is the case of this Mastro Livi razor giving a very deep and smooth shave with its typical RWL34 touch. The French point is very effective in shaving some tricky spots thanks to its precision. It is now sometime I am using horse brushes and I admit I like them, giving a good compromise between softness and backbone. Arko soap is always a good performing choice and the super cooling finishing touch of my Thyrrenus aftershave did the rest. I thought it was the right aftershave for this sunny day.​

Beautiful shave. @soapbuddy soaps and aftershaves are heavenly. The Merkur Futur set on 3 is perfect for my face, nice and smooth.
Every accomplishment starts with the decision

 

Easter Shave:


Le Pere Lucien // PAV Brushworks Gold Coast // 1925 Gillette New Improved Bostonian // Gillette Bleue Extra (1) // Majestät Aftershave

Great Shave. Haven´t used the Gillette a very long time. It´s a nice and gentle razor in combination with this blade. The PAV Brush whipped up a very nice, slick, thick lather which smelled very good.

Enjoy your time and take care.

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL OF YOU

Greetings

Cool shot....I plan to use that same brush for tomorrows shave.

 

Thank you very much

 

Thanks!
