    The last two shaves I have really been focusing on my technique and reminding myself that I shouldn't be putting any pressure on the razor and just let the blade do the cutting. It's always amazing how easily the blade will cut when you let it do the work. I think so often we lose focus on technique and then bad habits start to creep up. Looking back I can tell you that I allowed myself to starting using too much pressure when it wasn't needed. Any way had a great two pass DFS. Have a great day everyone!

    Razor: Gillette Adj. Black Handle.
    Blade: GSB (5).
    Brush: VDH Badger
    Cream: Cremo Original
    Pre shave oil: Homemade
    A/S: Gillette AS;
    Bowl: Soup Bowl from Walmart - $3 or $4
    Newspaper: Medford Mail Tribune Nov. 10,1943


    Three pass shave, 1st pass ATG, smooth , and easy as expected, no weepers. The 2nd pass WTG, even smoother than the 1st pass, but 1 weeper where i was trying to go around my "mustashio", otherwise, no problems anywhere. 3rd pass WTG/XTG with no problems or irritation. 1st time I`ve been able to clear the rough spots under my chin. A happy camper am I. Overall I think maybe a DFS+.

    This shave started my 3rd tin of WSP Rustic Mahogany. I ordered the new “T” tallow version this time to compare.

    Monday

    Prep: Warm Shower-Stirling Bath Soap-Scots Pine Sheep
    Soap: WSP Rustic Shaving Soap T-Mahogany
    Razor: Gillette NEW Short Comb
    Blade: Personna Med Prep (1)
    Brush: Thater Silvertip-26mmx55mm
    Aftershave: Country Club-Southern Oud

    WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)

    WSP Rustic T-Mahogany today. 20 seconds to load the Thater Silvertip. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I loaded a new Personna Med Prep in the NEW SC. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with CC Southern Oud.

    My SOTD
    image.jpeg

    Razor - tv special
    Blade - Israel store brand ( repurposed dispenser)
    Brush- trader joes synthetic
    Soap - arko stick
    Post - witch hazel, neutrogena
    Cologne - citrus musk

    A good shave. I had very little stubble to work with after yesterday's shave ( 66 slim on setting 6 w/ Israel blade DFS smooth) .
    I like the arko. I have heard some don't like the scent, but to me it's a very plain generic soap scent, almost reminds of ivory soap. I applied the stick to the face directly and with a damp brush worked a nice lather. This soap lathers fast and easy. Not much slickness during the shave, only after the pass when water is applied did the slickness appear.

    Happy shaving gents!

    Wet the brush tips gradually as your face lathering or painting the already lathered soap on, this way it will be slick from the start. :)
