Shave Den Sunday

Sunday Shower/Shave

Shower- Noxzema facial cleaner, Dr. Bronner's All-One Hemp Citrus bar soap
Brush- RazoRock Tri-Colored
Razor- The Bunny with Wild comb
Blade- Schick (5)
Soap- Route 66 Barbershop Hop
Post Care- Crystal Alum
Thayers Witch Hazel with grapefruit EO and M-Bomb
Florida Water with M-Bomb

Happy Father's Day! A glorious shave today, I think this one might have been my best ever. I loaded up the Wild comb today to tackle 3 days of growth. The blade went through my beard like a hot knife through butter. Effortless shave, no pulling or tugging, zero blood and the alum and Florida Water were both silent. This is the shave I need to replicate when the Bunny moves on. The Barbershop Hop performed flawlessly, wonderful scent and excellent protection. I took my time today and did three passes. My wife has a wonderful day planned for me. I'm getting ready to have some of the bacon maple biscuits she made yesterday. In about an hour I have a masseuse coming to the hour for an hour deep tissue massage. Then for dinner she's making me her famous ribs and potatoes. I'm a happy man today! Have a great day folks!

 

ok, thanks...not familiar with the Terre d'Hermes, but I'll look it up.

 

Good picture of excellent products. Thanks for posting.

@Salty Belle created a classic name for her barbershop soap(as in "Hippity Hop to the Barber Shop")

 

Thanks, Doug!

SHAVE DEN SUNDAY
Happy Fathers Day to all!

Time for a Sunday drive with my new 1912 Gem Damaskeene.

I've also been encouraged to try it with stropped blades. So with a well-intentioned nudge from @twhite (as well as some NOS blades and a stropper he PIF'd to me) my less-than manly mechanical skills will be challenged yet again.



Hot shower, cold-water shave.
Razor: 1912 Gem Damaskeene
Blade: NOS EverReady Corrux
Brush: Rubberset 400-4
Soap: TSD Yin Yang
TSD Witch Hazel
AS: TSD Yin Yang

Cheers!

Shave Den Sunday June 26:

Stirling Synthetic Brush
TSD Lanolin Egyptian Spice
Scheon Burg 665
Stirling Unscented PSB
Clubman Vanilla AS

 

Sunday Shave

Brush- RazoRock Tri-Colored
Razor- The Bunny with Wild comb and Schick Type G
Blade- Schick (2)
Soap- Stirling Barbershop
Post Care- Crystal Alum
Thayers Witch Hazel with grapefruit EO and M-Bomb
Pinaud Bay Rum
Florida Water with M-Bomb

Final shave with the Bunny, it's been a pleasure to try and I'll miss it. Same equipment as the last shave except I switched sides. The Bunny got my left side, the Type G got the right. As usual, the Stirling produced a wonderful lather with possibly my favorite scent. I did three passes again and here's the result.
First pass was WTG with both and I had great reduction, I like how audible the Bunny is and how easy it is to clean out. The Type G makes it easier to get into tight spots because of its head size however I still prefer the Bunny. Second pass I went XTG, the Bunny finished this pass closer than the Schick. Third pass was ATG and I'm left with a BBS with the Bunny, DFS with the Schick. The Bunny just gets closer. There was a little bit of feedback from the alum on my left side, zero from the Schick. Even with the feedback the Bunny still wins. I'm definitely smoother on my left side. I think with a little cleanup I'd be BBS with the Schick so that is comforting me since the Bunny moves on tomorrow. Have a great day folks!

Razor: Ever-Ready SE
Blade: GEM Blue Star
Brush: WDC-8 Brass Handle, Druida Manchurian

A very cooling shave on a hot day. The WDC-8 w/ Druida Manchurian knot whipped up a great lather. The Ever-Ready with the GEM blade mowed down the stubble with excellent feed back.

 

Excellent setup. Thanks so much for your post.

 

I think that Yin Yang is one of my favorite TSD soaps. Thank much for you contribution to SDS.
