Saturday's Shave


Nivea Men Face Wash
L'OCCITANE Cade Shaving Soap
Made-Rite 12 Boar
Dubl Duck
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayer's Lemon WH
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS

The L'OCCITANE Cade Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Made-Rite 12 Boar brush. I did two passes the Dubl Duck 5/8 razor, and I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. No nicks or cuts. I like it when I don't bleed. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Next in the rotation this morning was my FW Engels. It was a very close and comfortable shave. In fact, it was almost a BBS. I do like this razor!

 

Two Pass Shaving Routine...

Hot Water Prep & Massage with Argan Oil
NOS George & Butler Sheffield Full Hollow 15/16th ( Freshly Honed )
Hans Baier Silver Tip

Rescued Torrey. They really are nice razors. May have to acquire one or two more! Screwed up the upload again, so photo is below!

 

Billy. Glad you didn't loose a finger. It must have been a nasty one to put you out for two weeks.

That sucks to have it there. You are always banging it and busting it open. Glad you are on the mend.

I have a couple of Torrey razors and like them a lot. Easy to hone and great shavers.

 

Glad to hear you have recovered. It must have been quite a cut.

I didn't choose the razor today, it chose me. I'm glad it did. This vintage Lund was a dream to shave with this morning. Dolphins everywhere are now talking about being Karl skin smooth.

Hot water preparation
AOS Lavender PSO
Haslinger Schafmilch Shave Soap
Savile Row 3824 Silvertip
Lund 6/8
Osma Bloc d'Alun
T&H Classic After Shave Balm



Happy shaving - Karl

 

7/8" near-wedge from Frederick Reynolds....

 

Salus Discover scented soap (smells a little like Joop cologne)
Vulfix old original Super badger
Lakeside cutlery Army/Navy
Red Imp 132 wedge

Today was a SR two-fer kinda day. The Red Imp is easier to maneuver around the chin and under the nose. A little more practice and I will be able to shave with a bigger blade, but the Imp is so efficient I am in no hurry.

You know what we mean. We want pics of your cut, not of the Future Mrs. Scottish Ninja. What am I saying!!!!!??? I would rather see her, not your finger!!!
