Billy..

 

Tuesday'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

The TSD Iced Lime Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #77 Synthetic brush. 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...

 

Respect the lather shot....

 

SHAVE OF THE DAY



Prep: Musgo Real orange amber
Razor: Gillette Fatboy (6)
Blade: Viking Sword (1st shave)
Brush: Maggard 24mm synthetic
Soap: Wholly Kaw Lav Sublime Concerto tallow
Post: Osage Rub/ CC Lime
Balm: Soap Commander Courage



2 pass shave this evening. Have really been impressed with this new WK tallow soap, excellent lather and a nice scent with lime and lavender. Does anyone know if this is the same scent as the vegan Lav Sublime? Anyways, first time with the Viking Sword blade, the jury is still out, but it seems to be a serviceable blade. Got a BBS shave, finished off with CC Lime and SC Courage balm. Face feels smooth and refreshed. Hope everyone else has a great shave as well!

Monday

Razor: Schick I Type w/ Chick blade (2)
Brush: Shave Revolution Synthetic
Lather: Tim's Clean Cut
Post: Clubman Original

Had an awesome lather today that was so slick and creamy, I may have had enough lather for a 10 pass shave, but that sounds painful. The shave resulted in a very smooth face. I did have 2 weepers both on my neck, but they were thankfully small. Have a great day everyone!

 

Menthol Monday!!!

Have a great evening!

 

It has been months since my last shave with my Schick M3 Protector. Time to bust it out.
Razor: Schick M3 Protector
Blade: Schick NOS Twin
Cream: Kleanspa Sweetsmoke
No Brush. Can be used as a brushless
AS: homemade Sweetsmoke

Ad it has been months since I have used my M3. Tonight I decided it was time. I only had a days growth so I dialed it back to 5.

This razor with twins is a really nice shave. So smooth and maneuverable. This is a new to me cream. It can be lathered or just apply to a wet face. Today I chose not to use a brush. Just a dab worked great. I was able to just wet my face on the second and third passes. This provided plenty of slickness.

i got zero irritation and a DFS + shave. I also purchased a small bottle of the Sweetsmoke scent to make my own AS. I used witch hazel, a mall amount of glycerin and some vitamin E. It works great snd it smells great.

The scent is Tobacco, Vanilla and coco.

Thank you Tom.

 

Thanks Billy.

I got this one and two others seen below from BIL who switched to straights and two that I bought from antique store and now cannot find them. My BIL told me the one I used today was an E3 or E4 he wasn't sure, then the Hydro-matic and then One he stated was also and E3/4 so I was lost. I believe you are right this one is a E3 and the other one he stated was an E3 I believe is a D series as it has a very faint seam down the handle and two patent Numbers. I believe the Hydro-Matic is an I2. The one's I just bought and cant find, one was a shick or eversharp that had a diamond pattern head and I had found a PAL Injector. Lord only knows what I did with them.

 

Yeah..That 1st One on the Left is Defo a Type E 3..The One in the Centre is an I 2 Hydro Magic & the Last One on the Right is a Type G 1..

Monday Shower/Shave

Shower- Noxzema facial cleaner, Dr. Bronner's All-One Hemp Citrus bar soap
Brush- RazoRock Tri-Colored
Razor- The Bunny with Notso comb
Blade- Schick (3)
Soap- Stirling Barbershop
Post Care- Thayers Witch Hazel with grapefruit EO and M-Bomb
Florida Water with M-Bomb

It's going to be hard sending this razor down the road. I used the Notso comb tonight and it only took 2 passes for a BBS shave. Very comfortable shave but I did catch a small weeper on my upper lip by going too fast. Other than that,I had zero irritation tonight.

This was my first try of the Stirling Barbershop tonight and it's fantastic. Great protection, easy to lather, very slick and a wonderful scent. As I was shaving I imagined Andy sitting down for a haircut from Floyd. I'm looking for a barbershop like that here in Phoenix, if I walk in and it smells like this soap I'll know I've found my place. Have a great day folks!
