SoS: February 20, 2017 - February 26, 2017

Thanks for sharing the memories. I also have a sample puck of this soap, cant wait to try it. sterling is just great with so many affordable options, I like how they dont force u to buy a oversized tub as I like options.

Thanks Jim. Have a great day buddy!

 

nice pic, u have nice pics every day actually. that soap looks nice. i almost always use paa pre shave soap, i have ice, cad, and western barber - just a great idea for pre shave and did u know if doug is the only to offer these pre shave hard soaps? i am pretty i could shave with just that pre shave as it also lathers when i rub it in my face.

Thank you! Have a great day, buddy!

 

This shave was most enjoyable as well as smooth and so comfortable. The M'il'ny cream from Russia lathered like a champ and gave me such good blade glide with lots of moisturizing. Its matching balm is very soothing and it has a touch of menthol in it. No complaints at all!

 

SOTD February 21, 2017

Blade: Kai Captain Mild
Razor: RazoRock Black Hawk
Brush: Jayaruh boar
Lather: Strop Shoppe Baker Street
Post: Witch hazel splash, Stirling Baker Street aftershave with menthol
WTG, touch-up

Enjoyable shave this morning! The Strop Shoppe lathered up easily with the Jayaruh boar and created a nice, protective layer. The Black Hawk is a fun razor and one pass with minimal touch-up was all I needed. Stirling's Baker Street with added menthol finished it off. Nice shave.

Have a great day!

 

Yesterdays shave:
Windrose
Racer super stainless
Omega 10019
Stirling Peach
Thayers unscented (scalp)
Hema Shea Butter ASB (scalp and face)

Start ATG on my scalp, since that was only my second headshave that may not have been the best choice.

Face shave was excellent, this soap rocks!

Will do a WTG touch up on the scalp tonight and no more let the skin rest untill thursday when I will do another headshave.

 

Today's shave
Hot water wash with a washcloth
Ralph Lauren safari silvertip
Route 66 Frozen Margarita
Gillette black handle superspeed (D2)
Astra sp (1)
Razo+Rock Essential Oil of Lime aftershave balm
Today's shave was nice. Love my frozen margarita, as always r66 is thick, slick, and rich, leaving my mug soft and supple. The 83 superspeed made three nice passes, it's as good as it gets. I finished with RREOL, it was gifted to me from here on the forum(ty again). Its very nice, loudly lime, and very face friendly. Nice combo with the margaritas. Very comfy shave today.
Hope y'all did as well, or better.

 

Tuesday's SOTD..........

Pacific Shave Co lathered w/Omega Pro (If I had to pick one brush, it would be the Omega Pro. It's great with everything, plus it's inexpensive!)
Edwin Jagger DES86 paired w/a Pol-Silver SI blade
Alum rinse, PSC balm finishing w/a splash of Figaro aftershave

2-passes for an excellent shave!!

 

Parker 94r razor
Gillette Silver Blue blade
Taconic Eucalyptus Mint SC
Jayaruh #85 brush
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Pinaud Clubman A/S

The Taconic SC is really thick but produces a fine lather. All went well and I"m ready to go. Now go enjoy your day folks

 

Tuesday 2/21/17

Jojoba and Grapeseed oil preshave
RazoRock 400 Synthetic brush
Arko cream
PILS razor
Rapira Super Stainless blade
Thayers Unscented witch hazel
British Sterling aftershave
Every Man Jack Fragrance Free balm

After picking up a Tradere SB and absolutely loving the shave with it, I had to buy a PILS, as they have the similar shave angle as well as a cap that covers the sides of the blades. A feature that works great for me, especially on the neck. I can highly recommend the PILS to anyone enjoying a comfortable mild/mid range shave.

What a great shave I had this morning. This was my first try of a Beaver Woodwright soap; it lathered easily, nice slickness, great protection with a pleasant scent. The bay rum was subtle but the lime was a nice scent.

The Supply Provision Custom has cured my RAD, it is perfect. Short of adding some texture to the handle there isn't a thing I would change. If you tried the bunny from @twhite this is as close to it as I've found. Until the bunny is released this will suffice. I need to try some cut down blades in this, see if they are better than the Chick. Have a great day folks!
