    Very close comfortable, but careful shave tonight with this aggressive razor. One little weeper on my neck which is unusual for me. I didn't find the Captain's Choice Sandalwood as slick as some other soaps.

    Still riding that Wedge train. :transport022: Same set up as a couple of days ago. Same result - really close and smooth finish although I did manage to produce a nick today. Maybe because I refreshed the blade? :signs002: More likely as I was experimenting more with the angle. I find I tend to keep the angle too close and I get a smoother stroke when I increase the angle a bit.

    I also kept the Sterling Soap Glacial Lemon Chill. Maybe it'll grow on me. I liked it a bit more today than last time. :happy088:

    Congrats on the close shave Amigo! The iKon Tech is an aggressive little razor.

    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 will be the 133rd 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...

    Well, here I thought I'd be the opener for June(Wednesday), but the thing went into the wrong thread! Anyway...

    I sent RiseIntl an e-mail asking for a commentary on the new Super Foam(blue lettering for SUPER FOAM and 8.7 oz instead of the 13 oz I use now). I'll be interested in their reply.

    This shave brought to me by way of a Great Community!
    The combination of Stirling soap and a very nice synthetic brush provided plenty of lather for three passes. A fresh blade in a superior razor gave near flawless WTG, ATG, & XTG reduction. I did find a couple painless weepers that I attribute to a fresh blade and being over confidant using the WILD comb. After a cool water rinse & alum block swipe they disappeared. A handful of Canoe for that Barbershop fresh scent didn't leave any sting.
    Thanks Ya'll! :)

    SHAVE OF THE DAY
    20160531_185509.jpg


    Prep: Occams crushed lime
    Razor: Gillette Old Type
    Blade: GSB (3rd shave)
    Brush: omega s synthetic
    Soap: Pheonix & Beau- Citra Royale
    Post: T&H West Indian Limes Balm



    2 pass shave today, went with the lime theme since it is nice and warm here in Detroit. The P&B soap whips up a lather that reminds me a bit of Mystic Water, in a good way. Thick tallow lather, and a nice mix of lime and cedarwood. Very pleased with this soap so far. The Old Type chopped thru all stubble for a BBS shave, nice and smooth with no irritation. What more could you ask for. Hope everyone had a great shave as well!
