Marvelous shave with the Schick N1 this morning. Three passes for a dolphin smooth and refreshing finish. Enjoy your day friends.

Beautiful photo Jim.

Today's shave
Hot water wash with a washcloth
FS silvertip
Route66 Sweeney Todd
Berkeley custom shaver (4)
Persona Crystal (3)
Omega alum
Score aftershave balm
Today's shave was nice. Actually, better than nice, super. FS silvertip made perfect lather from the Sweeney. Three passes with the Berkeley on 4, I'm super close and very comfy. This razor makes bbs effortless. Finished with alum and Score. Exceptionally nice shave.
Hope y'all did as well,or better.

Our JoAnna sure knows how to make a great soap - the Iced Subzero lathered like a champ for me and gave me a tremendous freeze which the Rubby Dubby Doo prolonged. A wonderful BBS shave in two easy passes!

Another awesome shave this morning with my Type G. This is such an efficient smooth razor. But alas, it is time to move on to another form of blade tomorrow...likely a straight razor...at least for the weekend. Have a great Day gents!

Juniper Shave​

Today I was in the mood for having a juniper shave, I mean juniper fragrance. That's why I opted for Mastro Livi razor and shave brush having juniper wood scales and handle. I absolutely love the smell of juniper wood, very Mediterranean and aromatic, it has a strong yet lovely fragrance, something you can usually smell when you walk in Mediterreanean woods. The razor is an incredible masterpiece made by Mastro Livi, with its artisan carbon damascus steel made of 100 layers and with a sort of "wood" pattern, it is incredibly beautiful. Not to mention the fact Mastro Livi ground the blade to a full extra hollow, this razor sings like an Italian "tenore". The shave brush, with its double band wild silver badger loft, mounted to perfection my homemade shaving soap and making a super rich and smooth lather. The finishing touch has been provided by Brut Classic, an aftershave reminding me of the times when I was a kid and was using this fragrance in order to "smell like a man".​

• Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil

Day 25 of 30 days of Henckel straights

I did a single pass shave on most of my face and a double pass on my neck today using the smaller 4/8 round toe. I got a decent, if imperfect shave. Some areas are very smooth and some could use another pass. However, I look like I have shaved, which was all I was looking for today.
