What a video!

 

Tuesday's Shave Plan:

prep-Nivea 4 Men Bodywash( Max. Hydration)
shave-Stirling Soap(Barbershop)
brush-Jayaruh #59
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE
A.S.-Clubman Original Scent

 

To do an ATG shave, you need to do three things.
1- Make sure your lather is very slick.
2- See that the razor is very sharp. If not, it won't work comfortably.
3- Lower the blade angle a little.

 

Nice choice(of the C&C)

Razor: Gillette ball end tech
Blade: Gillette Green
Brush: Fine Angel Hair Synthetc
Soap: WTF Christmas Time

Incredible shave this morning. This WTF soap has really surprised me with how well it performs for how few ingredients it has. The proto lather looks like glue or a thick paste, and when you add some water to it it turns slick as snot. Got a BBS shave with no problems. Thank you everyone that has been trading with me the past few weeks, this is truly a wonderful community full of really cool people. Have a good night ladies and gentlemen.

 

That is so cool!.....thanks for sharing!!

Great photo. Cool looking razor. I never saw one before. I also love the asymmetric shape of the brush handle. Well done!

Cool. Love the 80's style commercial - Love as in I could not stop laughing. It is like Max Headroom gets a new toy.

March Madness & Spring Cleaning!!

March 6

Razor - Fatip Piccolo
Blade - (1)
Soap - Mitchell's Wool Fat
Brush - Semogue 620
Post - Alum, Nivea

It was a dark and stormy night. Well, dark so far but the storms are on their way. Tornado watch here until 4AM so it's time we can say IT'S SPRING!! Actually this is our second watch of the year so it's an early and windy Spring.

I was asked about the Nacet blade earlier today and realized it's been well over a year since I had one in a razor. And, since I'm using aggressive razors and needed another night for everything to heal before going back to the Greager, I grabbed the Fatip and threw a Nacet in it to reacquaint myself with it. Still one of the more unique designs on the label. And, what looks like Arabic is printed on the back of the packaging so I'm pretty sure these are marketed into the Middle East/Southern Asia area. Of course they're a Gillette Russian made in St. Pete.

I chose the Fat for the soap as I've been ignoring it in favor of trying new ones. It responded with an incredible amount of the slickest lather imaginable. Still the top soap in my den.

Two full passes and the only issue was a couple of reminders where I cut my neck with the Greager the other night. No blood, though, just a rough spot. The blade was very smooth and very effective. I have a solid DFS and the alum was quiet. This blade reminds me of the Ladas from Moscow. Both are stainless coated so that's not too shocking they would feel similar. While stainless coating isn't my favorite type of blade both the Ladas and Nacet perform very well for me.

Hope your Monday was good to you!

 

Al good pointers and all the while I will practice patience

It was almost too dense. I actually had to apply some of it by hand instead of the brush. Never had a soap that produced such thick lather.

 

Too dense...there is such a thing? Lol

That is a lovely brush handle!

A truly excellent shave with the Schick ST2 twin throw-away this morning. This is probably one of the best twin blades I've ever used. They sure clog easy though. Nevertheless three passes for a refreshing dolphin smooth finish. Enjoy your day friends.
