SoS: April 18, 2016 - April 24, 2016

Good picture today @clint64. :happy088.

 

Way to dial in that lather brother, one of the keys to a great shave.

 

Thank you Doug. I hope you have a great Wednesday.

 

It is interesting because I never paid that much attention to it before. Just loaded and lathered and shaved. But now that I am only using one soap (use-it-until-its-empty) I am experimenting with other aspects of my shave....e.g. brush and lather.

 

I guess focusing on that one soap caused you to experiment with it a bit in order to keep things interesting and you ended up with positive results. Very !

 

Thank you .
@Robyflexx .

 

Thanks you have a great Wednesday also.

 

Yes. Deep stuff.

 

I agree about the R41 and the GSB combo and also about menthol especially with cold or ice water....it just fits!

Soap Smooth Jasime Tea is filled with love, a strong Jasime tea, oranges, lemon zest, mainly florals. Sick, cushion-y easy to lather. The Ever-Ready 100T is becoming a favorite of mine, this timeless classic just feels so good in my hand. Mongoose! 3 pass no fooling around, DFS. Simple. Done. B&M Cologne Russe, lemon, bergamot and herbs. I'm starting to smell vanilla as it mellows out.
What defines us is how well we rise after falling.

SOTD April 20, 2016

Prep: Warm shower
Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (3)
Razor: Maggard MR1 handle with V2 open comb
Brush: Vulfix 2006C badger
Lather: Soap Commander Endurance
Post: Witch hazel splash enhanced with Old Spice knock-off, Nivea sensitive balm
WTG, touch-up



Nice shave this morning. The lather from the Soap Commander was terrific. That lead to one pass with touch-up around the jaw line and neck. I'm feeling pretty smooth so far. The Vulfix badger behaved better today after combing through it some and getting rid of the excess hairs. It still shed a little bit but not as bad as the other day.

I'm using the Endurance soap sample until it is used up. This is the sixth shave with that sample.

Hope you all have a great day!

 

April 20 SOTD:

Stirling Synthetic Brush
La Toja Shave Stick
Gillette Tech
Stirling Unscented PSB
Clubman AS

 

The Stirling Unscented must be a pretty good set up for....well, just about anything.

 

I can't quite say I am on a "use it until it's empty" routine with my CF Sherlock AS, but I'd like to clear as much of it as I can before new things enter my "den".

 

I agree whole heartedly! I use it every day; it is a nice light moisturizer.
