Another very good 3 pass near BBS shave this morning. I will note that as I get deeper into the puck of Rum Runner the scent is rounding out and the sandalwood and birch wood scents are moving more to the foreground. I am enjoying the soap even more as a result. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

 

Very good picture and setup. How do you like your new Pixel phone? How does it compare with the last phone you had?

 

I really like the Pixel. I do not miss the iPhone in any way. The camera seems better, but not as dramatically as the commercials say. It launches much faster.

Really enjoyable shave this morning with Soap Commander Passion and the Schick I1 injector. Soap Commander is slick and protective and gives me perhaps the best post-shave feel of any soaps or creams I own. It's really great stuff and I should use it more often.

Overall nice shave for me and I hope the same for you. Have a great day!

 

No complaints about this shave, other than that it was a little bit too rushed. I still managed to get BBS, or just about there. My Plissoft synthetic whipped the Derbylux cream into such fragrant, chilly lather and my Super Speed did a good job of cleaning me up. The Aqua Velva felt so nice and cold afterwards!

Today's shave
Hot water wash with a washcloth
Plisson
Bombed Cyril R Salter French Vetiver
Merkur 39c
Astra sp (2)
Iced Crusella&Co Vetiver
Today's shave was nice. Cyril makes some luxurious stuff. Face feels very supple after. The hammer made short work of my whiskers. Smooth and soft, the iced vetiver made it cold and smellin' nice. I like the combo of the earthy French Vetiver and the candy sweet Crusella&Co, it's remarkable how the different ends meet to make the end product seem more than the sum of the individual components.
Hope y'all did as well, or better.

Great shave with this restored razor....a pleasure.

 

Parker Variant razor (adjustable)
Astra SP blade
CO Bigelow SC
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
M&L Florida Water Cologne w/added menthol

1st shave with the Parker since I just got it in yesterday afternoon's mail. Based on just one shave, I think I can sell all my other razors. Not really but this razor is smooth and incredibly efficient. Set on 3 (out of 5) and 2 passes (with a little touch up) resulted in a wonderfully comfortable BBS shave. Going to use it the rest of the week at various settings to see which one is best for me. BTW, this thing is BIG! It will also take time to get used to the bulkiness of it. It's not uncomfortable to use, just different and BIG. More to come. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

Good photo with a great looking brush Joseph.

Thanks Douglas. The CH2 is my "grab-and-go" brush in the event of an apocalypse!
