Not one of my better SR shaves but no blood so it wasn't that bad. I do love the burst of citrus and cooling from the SIGSS Slainte AS!

Glad to hear the Jabonman soap worked out well!

I had a Lovely Cold Water Shave Today with My Schick Adjustable & Twin Blade Combo..I Use Hot Water to Soften my Whiskers & Cold Water from there on in the Summer Months..I always use a Hot Blade though..I had an Incredible SR Shave Yesterday & Didn't have a Lot to Take Down..An Incredable Dolphin Smooth BBS Result & Very Comfortable Shave with these Twin Blades..
I am Enjoying & Appreciating Injectors even More these Days in between My SR Shaves..Just so Darn User Friendly Easy Peasy BBS Machines..

Menthol always mixes so well with citrus scents, its like the 2 were made for eachother.

Great shave today, the old spice lather cream makes a great lather that is pretty slick. Only big issue it has is it's longevity. By my third pass it began to dissipate. Have a great day!

Razor: Durham Dorset
Blade: Durham Duplex (1)
Soap: Italian Barber
Brush: Same old horse with no name
Pre Shave Oil: Homemade
As: Nivea Balm/Brut Splash On

Big mistake, I have tried several times to make it work. After 3 passes and some blow torch irritation, I finally arrived at a BBS (wonder of wonders). The careful strokes I took were painful from the pulling on the 1st pass. I finally found a decent angle, then it wasn`t so bad. The 2nd pass was somewhat like a normal shave. The 3rd pass was even easier, with a watery lather, it cleaned up very good. It seems that this razor really likes water. Acquiring blades is not only difficult, but expensive. I can`t find carpet blades to fit the Dorset. I used an original blade. So, this one goes back into the misc. drawer. It is difficult to believe I got a BBS, but I did (at a great deal of pain). I don`t think it was worth it. Best wishes to all.

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, did I ever freeze my kisser off and get a wonderful shave doing so!!! The Glacial Lemon Chill soap and Lemon Chill witch hazel did the trick for me beautifully!!!

 

Thank you very much.

 

I love Mystic Water soaps. I bet Lavender Lime you used is fantastic.

 

Fridays shave

A very nice shave with a great soap that I haven't really appreciated until now.

Razor: Gillette Super Speed TTO "Red" Flair Tip A3 1955 with the original case, blade pack with instructions.
Brush: Wolf Whiskers DWW-3 "Burnt Oak Whiskey" 30mm x 52 TGN Silvertip Premium 2016
Mug: Old Spice 1985 Cobalt Blue
Cream: Truefitt&Hill No 10
Blade: Feather (2)
Post shave: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera, Jack Black, Pinaud Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum

Whipped up the Truefitt&Hill No 10 in a minute with this monster Silvertip. The Nice slick cushion and I really like the scent of the No 10. The heavy handle and head of the fat Tip gave me a nice smooth shave with no pressure with a Feather blade. WTG and XTG on my face and neck. Then gently ATG, very smooth. The Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera felt good on my face and that natural scent was nice and fresh. After cleanup, I smoothed on some Jack Black, and then some Pinaud Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum. Y'all have a good one!

 

This scent is defenately a acquired taste, very dark smokey fougere. Very nice!

A great late shave today. I can get away with a late shave as I'm unemployed. The XXX is a great soap and the injector wiped away the whiskers along with the lather with ease. Have a blessed day gentlemen.
