Excellent shave this morning with the Schick N1 injector. Marvelous lather from the Stirling Cocoa Forest shave soap. Three refreshing passes for a dolphin smooth finish. Have a great day guys.

 

and excellent setup Robert!

Beautiful photo my friend, have a great day!

 

Can!

 

This shave was excellent. So smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable from the lovely-scented Golddachs Spezial soap which is one of the richest latherers you could ask for. The Amici aftershave has such a beautiful scent as well, and a pleasant cooling sensation.

 

Good looking razor and case.

I am pulling the plug on the “Light Bridage”. I have noticed a little dulling the past couple of shaves, but I still have not had one tug in 28 shaves. All have been excellent.

Route 66 Bourbon Jungle today. 20 seconds to load the E-R/WD Silvertip. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Wilkinson Light Brigade still in the Fat Boy-4 weeks today! Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Pino Silvestre Oud Absolute EdT.

Today's shave
Hot water wash with nivea mens face wash and a washcloth
Whipped dog deep set silvertip
Bombed Soap Commander Inspiration
Merkur Futur (3.5)
Astra sp (3)
Crusella&Co gardenia
C.O.Bigelow white label lotion
Today's shave was excellent. The deepset silvertip still a top performer. Inspiration smells so delicious, chilled and whipped to yogurty perfection. After a month of open combs and straights the futur shined brightly, giving me an exceptionally good shave. I finished with a double tap of gardenia and white label lotion.
Hope y'all did as well, or better.

Just an excellent shave again with B&M. Cologne Russe is one of my favorite scents.

Terrific picture and setup. Love that brush handle!

 

Thanks Perry!

 

Prep - Noxzema / Hot towel
Pre shave - Proraso
Razor – iKon B1 Deluxe
Blade – Voskhod
Brush - New Forest Tubby 1 Finest
Soap – Barrister & Mann Arctique
Post - Witch Hazel, Jojoba oil.

Well, the Voskhod is proving to be a blade that isn't for me...That was a shave that I really didn't enjoy, even though the Arctique did a great job in providing the protection that I needed to get a BBS finish, as well as leaving me with a great post shave feeling..
