    April 15

    Z3 Gillette Super Speed
    Voskhod (1)
    Kent BK 8 silvertip badger
    Castle Forbes Lavender shave cream
    Alum, Thayer's Lavender witch hazel & unrefined shea butter
    Fine Platinum aftershave

    Two shaves in, and the CF Lavender is already a favorite. I used my Kent BK 8 brush today, which is fantastic for creams. It's pillow soft and has more face coverage than my Chubby 2. I can't say enough good things about Voskhod blades - super smooth, and they pair nicely with the SS. I'm near BBS after two passes and a few touch-ups. I finished up with Fine Platinum, and it is a beautiful day.

    Happy Resurrection Day weekend!

    IMG_1360.JPG Skipped yesterday's shave, as I'm still getting over whatever I caught in Chicago. This morning's shave was smooth as butter with a one-day growth. I used Pacific shaves caffeinated cream for the first time. It was slick, but did not sustain enough lather for three passes. I don't know if it was me or the product that was the problem. Not my closest shave ever, in fact just less than a DFS, but it was smooth, comfortable, and adequate so I will take it. Dad dropped by with a second spalted maple handle in a totally different style than the first one. Now I'm sitting around waiting on knots to arrive.

    Great photo Mark. Are you planning on keeping the razor polished or let it develop a patina.
