Parker 94r razor
Treet Classic blade
Shave Revolution Evo brush
CO Bigelow SC
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Skin Bracer A/S w/added menthol

Day 4 on the Treet Classic blade and another smooth, close and comfortable shave. I'm really surprised with this blade and am liking it a lot. Go for day 5 on this blade? Sure, why not? Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

That Glacial Wintergreen trio is absolutely heavenly - frigid cold, perfect lather from the soap, the matching balm and witch hazel give wonderful moisturizing and plenty of additional freeze along with that lovely wintergreen scent. Another A-1 shave!

 

SOTN August 3rd

Ikon X3 Slant
GSB (2)
DR John's Hydra
Satin Tip The Purest
Homemade tangerine AS

Good morning friends.I had an awesome shave with the X3 last night. A night and day difference from my first shave with it.

I started if by making a super slick, delicious smelling, lather with the hydra and put the razor to my face. Knowing that riding the cap didn't work I went the opposite direction and was close to riding the safety bar. Bingo! That was the trick, the razor cut close and efficient! 3 passes later man I'm smooth, welcome back baby! No feedback from the alum. And my homemade tangerine AS made for a divine paring with the hydra. 10 hours later and I'm still feeling smooth! Have a great day my friends!

Tobacco Thursday
Excellent shave today with this WSP combo and the Futur. I applied the PSO to my wet face after washing and waited a bit while I loaded my damp HIS brush. It took less soap than I thought to make yogurt goodness. Three drama free passes with my Futur on five and I'm feeling great. The balm provided a nice cool on a hot day.
Prep: WSP Tobacco PSO
Soap: WSP Tobacco Formula T
Brush: HIS
Razor: Futur 5-5-5

Very cool!

 

Must resist the dark side, it is pulling at me! Must resist ...

 

Nice effects on the picture!

 

Fantastic photo. Does the Wolfman SB have the standard or increased blade gap?

 

Thanks Clint! The SB has the standard gap. Have a great day my friend!
