Nice and easy shave this morning. Similar setup for the past three days. Route 66 is terrific and the Surrey brush is soft and luxurious. I've also really enjoyed the Iced Barber Shoppe in both feel and scent. It's been a good week of shaves. Fat Friday is tomorrow!

Have a great day!

Had an early appointment this AM. #2 daughter taking forever in shower. (old house, can't have too much going on plumbing-wise) Actually, not a bad shave at all. Very close to BBS. Just didn't take extra time with minor touch ups.

Razor: Supply Provision Custom 2 dot head
Blade: Chick
Brush: RazoRock Tri-color
Soap: B&M First Snow
Post Care: Thayers Witch Hazel
Osage Rub
Alum
Aftershave: B&M First Snow

I am so impressed with the quality of B&M. The second my brush hit the soap it exploded in lather and the bathroom filled with the scent of fresh cut pine. This soap is slick, protective and has a great post shave feel. The matching aftershave, while I wish it was stronger, is very nice. Starts off with a heavy pine scent but quickly transitions to a wet earth, pine and leather scent. I'm going to layer it next time to see if I can increase the scent strength.

The Supply Provision Custom is my new go to razor. Last day on this blade and I'll switch to the three dot head next shave. Three easy passes for a BBS shave. Have a great day folks!

RazorGuy Shave​

Once in a while I like shaving with all the products I make at home as a hobby. To me, this adds an extra pleasure to the pleasure of shaving, not to mention when you use a Mastro Livi straight razor like the one I used today. This Mastro Livi ArtInox - that is his artisan made stainless damascus steel - is really a superlative shaver giving a super smooth and close shave, an impeccable BBS. My almond oil shaving cream proves to be an excellent soap, in my opinion one of the very best I have ever used in my life. The finishing touch provided by my Bay Rum was the perfect companion to this amazing shave.​
