SOTD October 24, 2016

Blade: Chinese Schick
Razor: Schick L1 injector
Brush: Vulfix 2006c badger
Lather: Stirling Barbershop
Post: Witch hazel splash, Stirling Barbershop aftershave, Nivea sensitive balm
WTG, touch-up

Nice shave yet again! Stirling Barbershop lathered up really well with the Vulfix badger brush. As always it is slick and protective. One pass with touch-ups on the neck and jaw and I'm ready for the day. I'll continue the Stirling Barbershop through the end of this month.

Have a great day!

 

Such an enjoyable, face-freezing shave which left me not only with a BBS face that still feels like an air conditioner is blowing cold air on it, but also with tearing eyes and a runny nose. (Love it!) The Glacial Wintergreen trio, my Plissoft synthetic, and my Junjie/Derby duo did the job beautifully and finally a little Arctique aftershave laid a lethal extra freeze on me!

This is my $5 razor that had a chip out of the toe that I repaired. Nice razor...smooth. Honed up nice.

 

Amazing photo!

I haven't used Feather blades in a long time, so I decided to test my technique. It felt great while I shaved, but after I rinsed, several weepers and some burn appeared on my neck. It took a double dose of B&M Reserve Cool to put out the fire. I get better shaves from the much cheaper voskhod blades. I think I'll stick with them.

Dorco ST-301 blade
Omega 10066 boar brush
Colgate Cup Soap
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
M&L Florida Water Cologne w/added menthol

Today's shave ended up ok but the journey there wasn't all that great. Hadn't used a boar brush in eons and had trouble getting adequate lather. Guess I'm to used to synthetic brushes and how they work so very well for me. Anyway, a not so great lather and the Dorco blade proved to be a little rough and uncomfortable. I will give the Dorco another chance tomorrow but with different brush/soap and see what happens. Now go enjoy your day folks

 

Thank you for the kind words. I've seen others share their shower routine too, so I jumped in on that, but I may be the last remaining shower-sharer; appears that way, anyway.

Hey Patrick long time no see. Good to see you back in the SOTD thread.

 

Thank you my friend. Your photos are always exceptional. Have a great day.

 

Beautiful vibrant colors Mark.

 

Nice pic Rob! Have a good week.

 

Thanks Rob!

 

Thank you Mark, have a great week buddy!

 

Just the one pass, eh? I hope it's only one for me too-I found I had to do 2 for Williams.

 

Great picture!
