Nice looking suribachi

 

Beautiful picture!

 

Looks tranquil to me

 

Wow, nice first shave. And you picked nice gear to do it with. Welcome to the Darkside

 

Thanks. @RyX kind of got me on the lookout for one. They really are the perfect shape.

 

I hadn't really thought twice about this razor until seeing this pic. Absolutely beautiful pic!

 

Friday's


Dove Men Face Wash
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Jayaruh #128
Gillette Fatboy
Wilkinson Sword Super Sword Stainless
CWR, Asma Alum Block
T.N. Dickinson's WH
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS

The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #128 brush. I did two passes the Gillette Fatboy and Wilkinson Sword Super Sword blade, I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with T.N. Dickinson's WH and then Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Great shave from a super sharp Japanese Razor

Vintage Williams
Fuller WSP Silvertip

Planned Shower for Friday:

Bodywash-Nivea 4 Men COOL
Deodorant Soap-Dial 4 Men ODOR ARMOR
Shampoo-Suave Men HERITAGE EDITION(New Since 1937)**
Deodorant(post shave)-Mennen Speed Stick(POWER FRESH)

**I love the shampoo, but since it says "1937" and "New" both, I call it the Rise A.S. Cooling Balm of shampoos.(the aftershave balm, as I've been describing, says "New" and "Trusted Since the 50's").

 

I broke protocol today...and decided to try my latest cream acquisition instead of moving over to the next stack in the cabinet.

Razor: EJ DE89
Blade: Ladas (2)
Brush: Savile Row 3324
Cream: St. James of London...Mandarin and Patchouli (Excellent)
After Shave: Paul Sebastien
Witch Hazel: Stirling "Coniferous"

 

How did you like Stirling's Conny?

 

Thanks. I must say, the shave went very smooth. I was amazed how nice the Schick E shaved. I did get a couple weepers, but it was because I had a few blemishes on my face but nothing because of the razors. I can't wait to get some more mileage on this razor.

I ordered it as part of a sampler and I think it pairs extremely well with scents that would be considered "woodsy"...and I guess that stands to reason considering the ingredients.
I've only used it twice now and I remember it pairing very well with PAA Sandalwood...which is more of a wood scent as opposed to something like TOBS for example.

I do like it though. I think it has it's place depending on the after shave used.

 

Drive safe!

Great photo.
