Wednesday's


Dove Men Face Wash
Arko Shaving Stick
Jayaruh #61
Gillette Pre-War Fat-Handle Tech
Personna Super
CWR, Asma Alum Block
T.N. Dickinson's WH
Pinaud Clubman

The Arko Shaving Stick face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #61 boar brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Pre-War Fat-Handle Tech 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 Clubman After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Great looking setup and picture Jim.

 

Thanks, Doug.

This soap is sooo amazing guys, post feel is off the charts.

 

Nice picture and set up!

 

It's post like this that make me want to go but more soaps when I already have more than I can use for the next several years.

 

I couldn't recommend Sudsy Soapery more, they are a smaller soap maker but man it's good.

Had a nice 2 pass shave this afternoon, the scent of this soap is a bit on the light side and reminds me of beeswax but it whipped up a nice lather and is a soap I will have to experiment with a bit more.

Decadent December!!

December 6


Razor - Master Barber Magic Shavette
Blade - (2)
Soap - Proraso Red
Brush - BoS Omega 10066
Post - Alum, Nivea

Couldn't resist another round with the shavette this envening. I did my usual weekly head shave - with the usual gear (Merkur 23c/VdH Deluxe/VdH Boar) - then got out the Proraso Red and Omega 10066 to set up for another run with the Derby blade. Last night's was a really nice shave overall and I want to see if I can improve on it. The answer to that question - yes and no.

Overall the finish was a pretty nice DFS. If 1 is barely DFS and 10 is near BBS I would call it a 6.5 So, nice and smooth and felt really good again. The only problem was a cut near my right ear as I started to go XTG. I'm not sure exactly what happened but I think I put too much pressure on the blade just before starting the stroke. It almost felt like a jump but I think was just a dig instead. The cut was light, not much blood, just a thin red line to tell me I goofed. The thin DE blades unguarded do provide a certain challenge to make sure everything is aligned right and that the right amount of pressure (basically none) is applied.

Even with that I was very happy with the result. That's two down with no major issues. I'm thinking I'll do a third tomorrow night then either return to Decadent December Soviet Style or else maybe try a different blade. We'll see.

My weekend is over! Went by way too fast. Back to the mines tomorrow. Hope you had a great day!
