SoS: August 1, 2016 - August 7, 2016

Very good picture and setup.

 

Fri. 8/5/16








Excellent shave this morning with the Schick N1 injector loaded with a Twin Blade. I'm so glad I decided to go with the RR Mudder Focker shave soap this morning. I had forgotten how wonderful it is. Marvelous slick, bountiful lather with excellent skin care throughout and post shave. Three easy passes for a dolphin smooth finish. Have a great day friends.

 

SOTD Aug 5 2016

Pre: Proraso green preshave cream
Razor: Schick Type G
Brush: Omega Boar
Soap: Haslnger Schafmilch
Post: Witch Hazel / Jack Black Post Shave Cooling Gel

A wonderful 2 pass DFS this morning with my Schick Type G. I am down to some creamy lather in the bottom of my Haslinger soap dish...maybe I can squeeze a couple more shaves out of this fine soap. Fortunately I have another puck waiting to be unwrapped. After a shave like this I feel like Captain Atom! TGIF!

 

Were all the shaves with the same Feather blade? I could only ever get 2-3 shaves out of a Feather before the same thing would happen.

 

SOTD August 5, 2016



Blade: Chinese Schick
Razor: PAL Injectomatic (on pass-around from @twhite)
Brush: Omega 10049 boar
Lather: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Post: Witch hazel splash enhanced with Barbasol Pacific Rush, Nivea sensitive balm
WTG, touch-up

Fat Friday! Nice shave with the Injectomatic again this morning. I ended up with two tiny weepers near my jaw but that's not bad. This is just the second shave using this razor.

Mitchell's Wool Fat provided a great backdrop of lathery goodness. I mixed a little Barbasol Pacific Rush with my witch hazel. That stuff is loaded with menthol! The small amount I mixed in turned fairly cold.

All in all a comfortable, smooth shave. Have a great day!

 

Excellent setup and picture Roby.

Friday's Shave(in sentence form)
I opened with the Nivea 4 Men Platinum Perfect in the shower. It's a nice bodywash. It makes me wonder if it's a thick version of Fine Platinum Aftershave. Anyway, out of the shower to begin the shave, with Noxema regular. I put on a lighter coating than usual, and paid for that by having to make a second coat&pass over my right cheek. Otherwise a fine shave.Used the normal Sensor 2 Pivot +. Then Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue A.S. to finish off

Prep: Warm Shower-Stirling Bath Soap-Mountain Man

WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)

Maggard Limes & Bergamot today. 20 seconds to load the Thater Silvertip. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Personna 74 still in the NEW SC. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Proraso Green.
