Wednesday's


Dove Men Face Wash
L'OCCITANE Cade
Jayaruh Bumble Bee
OT w/ Maggard fatty handle
Personna Super
CWR, Asma Alum Block
T.N. Dickinson's WH
Pinaud Vegetal

The L'OCCITANE Cade Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh Bumble Bee brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette OT razor w/ Maggard fatty handle with a Personna Super blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with T.N. Dickinson's WH and then Pinaud Vegetal After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Great setup and picture Jim.

Oakmoss&Sandalwood sounds like a nice blend.

Thanks Paul. I wasn't sure what to expect with the Oakmass/Sandalwood but it is quite nice. These Symmetrical bowls are outstanding!

Wed 12th Oct

RazoRock Plissoft 24mm
P & B Spitfire
Merkur Futur
Personna Lab Blue [2 ]
Myrsol Antesol A/S Lotion

Return to DE Razors- Adjustables only.
The Futur was my first big DE buy , after starting back to DE shaving with the Black Wilkinson Classic. After a few mishaps, I learnt to use the weight of the Razor do the work. Today , after not using it for some time I was careful to get angle right , then it was easy to get a smooth efficient shave. Finding that recent shaves have gone so well that I am tending not to bother with an application of Alum , and find that my skin feels good after the chosen A/S splash.

Excellent shave with the PAL Adjustable injector razor this morning. Wonderful lather from the VY shave soap. Three easy passes for a refreshing dolphin smooth finish. Have a great day friends.

 

Nice photo! The razor looks good. Nice handle.

 

It's either really later or really early where you are. Good picture and setup.
