Coniferous & Gatlinburg. I bought these as samples. I am a big fan especially of Coniferous. I have enough soaps now, so I am taking a break. Besides I spent too much on razors lately. I ordered the OneBlade for my up coming birthday because I did not think I could get a Wolfman, but got lucky tonight and placed an order for an OC with a Darwin handle. I thought I won the lottery! Now I am pretty much going to sit back and enjoy everything for awhile.

Congrats on the sweet new razor. Glade to hear it worked as good as it looks. Did you get the additional plate? I'm curious how different it shaves with the adjustments.

Cheers Friends,

moments ago i had a very fine shave:


Razor: Gillette Rocket Parat // Blade: Gillette Bleue Extra // Soap: Fitjar Fjelheim // Brush: Mühle Synthetic // Aftershave: Weleda // Postshave: unrefined Shea Butter

Nice shave. Used my Fitjar soap after a long time because of it´s nice scent. It´s a very good soap. Smells like a fresh pine and creates a wonderful, creamy lather. After the shave i used unrefined Shea Butter which feels really great. A treat for my skin.

That´s it for now. Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and take care buddies.

Greetings
Thorsten​

Smoother than silk today after a great shave with the Florena cream. It's so soothing and comfy. I like the Old Spice aftershave very much even though it's not the Shulton original kind. The cologne seems really different in scent from the aftershave - isn't that odd?

Mastro Livi Kamisori Simmetrico, 11/16 Full Hollow, French Point​

In this springtime sunny Sunday I wanted to enjoy a shave by using this Mastro Livi Symmetrical Kamisori made of Damasteel Odin's eye pattern. This kamisori delivers an incredibly close shave also thanks to the well known Damasteel's aggressiveness, a very performing steel for razor's blades. The soap I used today is a very special one: Aguzzeria del Cavallo - a well known shop in Bologna, Italy - used to make this great shaving soap for decades and, as far as I know, they discontinued its production. Such a pity. The finishing touch was delivered by Lucky Tiger Bay Rum, an aftershave - in my opinion - having no Bay Rum fragrance at all despite the name.​

• Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil
• Soap: Aguzzeria del Cavallo
• Brush: Mastro Livi Badger, Olive Wood Handle, 22mm Knot
• Bowl: Mastro Livi Olive Wood Bowl
• Strop: Mastro Livi Medium Loom Strop "Coramella Italiana" and Hand Palm
• Razor: Mastro Livi Kamisori Simmetrico, 11/16 Full Hollow, French Point
• Post-Shave: Alum Block
• Post-Shave: Argan Oil
• After Shave: Lucky Tiger Bay Rum

 

Thank you!....it was.....all rosie.

Great shave this morning using my favorite Schick razor. I used Myrsol Emulsion as a preshave and an alum block post shave for an incredibly smooth shave.

Soap: Proraso White
Brush: Omega S10065 synthetic
Razor: RazoRock German 37 slant
Blade Voskhod (1)
After Shave: Pinaud Special Reserve

A two pass, minor touch up DFS shave this morning. Of the 3 Proraso soaps, I like the white the best. Loads of cushion & glide. Creamy and I love the scent.

 

OTD: Early Sunday morning shave. My first with this newly-honed vintage "Red Head" 13/16" Solingen-made razor from Otto Fromm; Crowne & Crane "Cognac & Cubans" tallow soap and matching aftershave balm, Semogue 830 boar. Über-smooth, noisy shave. One of the best I've had in recent memory. Have a blessed Sunday, gents!

 

Bill-I have gotten 30 shaves from the first two I used.

Soapy Sunday SOTD

Pre: Hot water, VDH Shave Butter w/hot towel
Razor: Gillette Super Adjustable 109
Blade: Voskhod Teflon Coated
Brush: Omega 10098
Cream: Cella "Crema Da Barba"
Post: Hot/cold rinse, alum block, cold towelx2, Dominello Vitali Calming Post Shave Moisturizer
After Shave: Cella "Lozione Dopobarba"
First shave of the week, and it was a beauty. The Cella whipped up into a slick, fragrant lather, thanks to my 10098. The SA-109/Voskhod duo set on "9" for the first pass started the shave in fine style. Second and third passes were on "7". This accomplished a BBS with no touch up. Alum was as silent as the steppes in the Russian winter. Some Dominello Vitali and Cella A/S(which smells really great) finished off one of my best Sunday shaves. If the rest of the week goes like this, it's gonna be a good 'un.
Buon giorno i miei amici!
