Another great shave this morning. Two passes with minimal touch ups ended in a near BBS which for me is about the perfect work morning shave. I try to keep the entire shaving routine from start to finish under 10 minutes. Setups like today's allow me to achieve this goal with ease. I hope everyone has a great Friday.

 

That is a very nicely laid out photo, Mark. I love that brush.

 

The razor looks great Troy. Jay hit another one over the fence.

 

Really cool brush.

 

@Norcalnewb

Happy birthday Jim!

Blade: Chinese Schick
Razor: Schick I1 injector
Brush: Vulfix 2006c badger
Lather: Route 66 Twisted Tweed
Post: Witch hazel splash enhanced with Fine American Blend, Nivea sensitive balm
WTG, touch-up

Very nice shave this morning. I really like the scent of Twisted Tweed. The performance is terrific as always. Loaded the Vulfix brush with the soap moistened on the top, slowly adding water while loading. Got shiny and beautiful lather as normal. One full pass with touch-up and call it done. Really comfortable and easy shave.

Have a great day!

 

Happy birthday! I hope your family time is fantastic.

Last Voskhod Blade Focus Shave.
For my TGIF shave this morning I pulled out the Simpsons Unscented Shaving Cream. I've looked around and noticed that Simpsons doesn't get much love around here. Anyway, I like it. Whipped up a nice, slick lathering, brushed it on and got after it. The Russian steel is still mowing down the stubble. Alum was a little barky again today as I am still wrestling with the jawline. I've tried stretching the skin on the 1st pass, waiting 'til the 2nd and going primarily ATG. Still haven't got it. I'm hoping for an "Aha" moment. So I finished up as is my wont with a hot/cold rinse followed by an icy cold towel sprinkled with Clubman. Walked the dog and it was away to work. No shave tomorrow. Sunday, the GSB's take the helm. Stay tuned. Have a great day y'all and an even better weekend. HOOAH!
