Beautiful Aristocrat Jim!

 

The Trac II was my go to razor for almost 20 years until the Gillette Sensor came out in the 90s. It's a great shaver!

Killer shave!! The Timeless Razor is the real deal. A smooth three pass shave, I wasn't sure if I would like the dimpled handle, well I truly enjoy it. Hey the P.160 worked awesome!! No burning. MGPENS Game Changer is a beautiful brush.

 

Nice setup and brush Jared!

So nice I used it twice in a row
I really enjoy the scent of Night Music. The change I made today was to use the Futur set on five instead of six. It made the shave feel smoother, but I can tell it wasn't as close or efficient as I prefer. Back to six next time.

Thanks amigo. I haven't use one in years. The handle on this one is a little long, but I ended up with a good shave.

 

Thanks very much Joseph. I really bought the set to get the brush, however, it all worked out.

 

Thank you, Roby! It was a great maiden voyage for the razor.

 

Thank you, Mark!

Day 17 of 30 days of straights

Today I used my Henckel 6/8 Round Toe.



This is a very nice blade. It seems easier to get this blade at the correct angle than when I use the 4/8. It is harder for me to get underneath my nose with a round, toe than with a square toe, but I think this is normal.

I did not cut myself today, but I am still experiencing some irritation similar to what I would get using too much pressure with a DE.

I tried 2 new items today. First was the ABC (Antica Barbieria Colla) shaving cream. This is touted as one of the slickest soaps available. It is in fact very slick. I liked it a lot. The scent is a heavy almond and it is actually a croap. Is it worth the price? I don't know yet.

The second new item was a sample of Penhaglion Bayolea shave cream soothing gel which I received along with the ABC. At first it seemed excessively thick, but it did spread well and is soothing. It does have a rather strong scent which I think is close to "barber shop".

Overall, this was a good shave.

DIY Pre-shave Oil
ABC
30mm High Mountain White set an extra 10mm deep
3 passes, WTG, XTG, XTG
Penhaglion Bayolea shave cream soothing gel
6/8 Round Toe Henckel 17 1/2

 

That is one of my favorite blades. I'm glad to see you are making progress with it.

 

Thank you, sir!
Fantastic job by Tim Zowada!

Bombed Soap Commander Renewal
Dovo #98 Pearlex 5/8 full hollow round end

Today's shave was fantastic. Been a week of SC taking charge. With plentu of relaxing time today, the Dovo was called up. After two passes, I thought I was pretty smooth, so I called up yesterdays exec to clean-up. It didn't find much. Finished with double tap
Great shave
Hope y'all did as well, or better.
