    Dove Men Face Wash
    TOBS Lavender
    Jayaruh #30RS Silver Tip
    Schick Krona
    Personna Blue Super Stainless
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Rose Petal WH
    Speick After Shave

    This is the 132nd documented shave with the TOBS Lavender. Going to use it until it is gone...

    The Taylor of Old Bond Street Lavender Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #30RS silvertip badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick Krona razor with a Personna Blue Super Stainless 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 Speick After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    There's a soap you don't see in the SOTD thread very often. Did PC go out of business? I remember hearing great things about their soap.

    I honestly don't know if she is still open for business as I've had this soap and two other DdC for 2.5 years and I think they are awesome soaps and I should use them more. Her Walters Menthol was her version of Williams menthol and another very good soap and the only PC that I used up completely.

    SHAVE OF THE DAY
    20160530_200631.jpg


    Prep: gustafsons woodlands
    Razor: Gillette Redtip
    Blade: Astra SP (3rd shave)
    Brush: Fine Angel Hair Synthetc
    Soap: RazoRock Tobacco #2
    Post: Denim aftershave/ DIY Balm



    2 pass shave this morning. The scent of tobacco #2 is more smoky, where Tobacco 1 is more powdery Oakmoss type of scent. Have to say I think I prefer 2. Whipped up a nice lather with the Fine Brush. The Astra Blade has worked out well, not the smoothest blade, but not as bad as I first thought. Ended up getting a good shave, very close and minimal irritation. Finished off with Denim aftershave, it has a stronG scent when first applied and reminds me of a cologne. Hope everyone had a great shave !

    Glad to hear the performance is working well for you. I went on their website when I first started wet shaving, but had a bit of a hard time navagating the site.

    Great shave after a hot day. I really love menthol, and I have really gotten hooked on cold water shaving...

    Tonight's SOTD ;
    Gillette #44 set RFB New.
    Kent BLK2 badger hair brush.
    1956 Gillette Blue Blade.
    Maggards London Barbershop soap.
    English Leather after shave lotion.
    English Leather cologne.

    This was a two pass BBS. The medley of scents provided by the combination of products is remarkable. What a fantastic aroma.

    MAYhem 2016!!

    May 30
    Razor - Gillette NEW Long Comb
    Blade - [​IMG]Brush - BoS Omega 10066
    Soap - Tabac
    Post - Cold Water, Alum, Nivea, The Veg

    Well, I'm glad that day is over. Four days of non-stop sales and I have one day off to finish tomorrow with a special MAYhem shave. For today, two passes on the Gillette 7 o'clock wit New LC and a fantastic near BBS with no irritation and the Veg to draw those customers right in the door.

    June is also just a day away now so the new thread will be up and running in just a bit to get the discussion started. In the meantime keep posting here and let's finish with all the MAYhem we can muster!

    Not giving anything away about tomorrow's shave other than it involves more than one razor but only one soap and brush. 'Nuff said!

    That's the first time I heard someone describe the Schick Krona as an aggressive razor!
