​

This morning's shave was one where everything just clicked. The Nuavia Blu scent might be the best scent of any shave soap I have used. The Silvertip D01 made short work of whipping up a mountain of rich slick lather. Since time was not an issue, I went with a traditional 3 pass shave followed by minimal touch ups and managed catch the baby. I finished off the shave with a splash of Witch Hazel with menthol. Over half an hour later, I still smell the scent of the soap. No need for aftershave with this one. I hope everyone has a fantastic Sunday.

 

what does that say on the TOBS Bay Rum...traditionally for the ????? gentleman?

 

Clint, that's what many of the guys on the Rise ads say-both the original and the now reformulated-no need for aftershave. But I use some anyway. Maybe one day I won't and see just what the guys mean.

 

I agree. I use an aftershave everyday. I just wanted to enjoy the scent of this soap as long as I can.

 

Oh, thank you very much. I looked on ebay and it said from India and I wasn`t sure about it and was still looking for a local vendor, without any luck, so this really helps me. I`m not all that crazy about Cremo, from Walmart. Again, thank you.

June 26/ 2016 Sunday

Razor(s): Hibco/ Lady J
Blade(s): Personna Stainless/Ted Pella((1/5 respective)
Brush: VDH Badger
Lather: Cremo
Pre shave Oil: Homemade
A/S: Gillette Gel/Brut Splash On
Newspaper Date:Nov. 7,1943

Must have missed my "window", light tremors most the way. !st. pass, WTG/ Hibco cut me about 6 times, not bad, a styptic and a substantial cold water 'bath" , a good pat down, a Kleenex test. Restart with "Lady J", WTG on 2nd pass and, ATG/XTG, 3rd pass, some cleanup, resulting in a shave that I can go out in public, good with it. It is what it is. Better luck for everyone else. Not really disappointed. As I feel around my face, it really isn`t that bad.

BTW, the Hibco is a little on the aggressive side, so?

 

Beautiful injector Chris!.....

 

Thank you Doug!

 

Excellent shave this morning Mark!

 

Wonderful setup this morning Clint

 

Thank you, Guy.
