Razor: iKon w/ Bamboo Handle Blade: Gillette GSB Brush: Tres Amigos, Desert Ironwood Honeycomb w/Envy White Soap: Route 66 Bourbon Jungle A/S: Floid Vigoroso Excellent close comfortable shave this evening. Route 66 Bourbon Jungle is one of my favorite scents and soaps. The Tres Amigo brush is an outstanding performer.
Friday's Dove Men Face Wash TSD Iced Lime Jayaruh #77 Synthetic Bunny V-3 Schick Injector CWR, Asma Alum Block Thayers Rose Petal WH Pinaud Clubman This was my first shave with a TSD Shaving Soap. The Iced Lime Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my new Jayaruh #77 Synthetic brush. It also rinses very clean and has just the right amount of menthal: nice cooling effect. The lime scent is delicious. Two passes and touch ups with the Bunny V-3 razor with a Schick Stainless Injector 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 Pinaud Clubman After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
SHAVE OF THE DAY Prep: Occams crushed lime Razor: Gillette Black Beauty Blade: Ladas super stainless Brush: omega s synthetic Soap: Wholly Kaw- Lav Sublime Concerto Post: Stephans Island Lime 2 pass shave today. Went with the tallow WK soap, big fan of the vegan soap, and the tallow version seems to be even better. The lather was shiny and glistened in the light, something I haven't noticed in a long time. The scent is stronger on the lime side, which is a good thing IMO, not a big lavender fan, but it makes the lime scent even stronger. Got a great BBS shave. Hope everyone else had a great shave!
Great to hear this combo worked well for you as well. I tried these blades a while ago but recently got a few from @Marverel PIF, and they have been working out great so far. Much better than some other Russian blades I have tried.
Friday's Planned SOTD Razor: iKon Standard\Triad-Delta-Echo Antique Brass Blade: Gillette Spoiler (D14) Brush: Shavemac 277 32mm Silvertip Bowl: Symmetrical Pottery Pre Shave Scrub: MRGLO Pre Shave Butter: Mickey Lee Lime Shave Soap: Meißner Tremonia Dark Limes Post: Monster Alum Block Aftershave: Dominica Bay Rum w lime
GSB's are pretty hard to beat IMO have you tried Pol-Silver or Perma-Sharp? They are up there with GSB.
Guys, there's been a change in my Friday setup - here it is: Neutrogena Men Facial Wash Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Junjie/Astra day 5 Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill SS Lucky Tiger AS Cream Stirling Lemon Chill WH JHL Cologne I just couldn't resist my Glacial Lemon Chill soap because I didn't have enough of a freeze for my Thursday shave, and you guys know how I feel about menthol! Once again, a great weekend to one and all!
Yea I would put the GSB just above the Pol-silvers as well. It seems like the premium blades last longer (more shaves).
Pre-Shave: Cypriotian Olive/Argan Oil soap, cold water Razor: Wolfman SB-P WRH2 Blade: Ladas (1) Brush: Paladin TSN LE Lather: Stirling Lavender & Bergamot Post-shave: Alum, Barrister & Man Kyovu Original, Australian Emu Oil
Thursday Shower/Shave Shower- Noxzema facial cleaner, Dr. Bronner's All-One Hemp Citrus bar soap Brush- RazoRock Tri-Colored Razor- The Bunny Blade- Schick (1) Soap- Route 66 Barbershop Hop Post Care- Thayers Witch Hazel with grapefruit EO and M-Bomb Nivea Sensitive AS balm Wow! What a fantastic shave! This was my first ever injector shave and the Bunny left me dolphin smooth. I used the Mild comb and three passes and I don't know if I've ever had a closer shave. The Route 66 as usual offered up a wonderful, slick and protective lather and The Bunny mowed through two days of growth like it was nothing. The only bad part was one small weeper on the corner of my mouth but if I have a problem, it usually shows up there. I love this razor and I'm looking forward to more shaves with it. Have a great day folks!
