Wonderful shave with the Schick Xtreme3 this morning. Three passes for a dolphin smooth and refreshing finish. Enjoy your day friends.

 

Wonderful picture, Roby!

Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill AS

 

I incorporated the last remainder of my Glacial Lemon Chill soap into a container which has a half-used puck which the wife found. I enjoyed the freezing-cold lather so much as well as the extra freeze from the Glacial Unscented balm and of course the Lemon Chill witch hazel. Except for a small weeper near my jaw this was a perfect shave. The Gillette Wilkinson blade seems to do the job very efficiently.

Enjoy your shaves and have a great week!

Nice shave this morning. The Stirling Grapefruit provided terrific lather. I love how shiny and slick Stirling lathers can be. The Featherweight worked quite well and felt smooth and comfortable. Really nice Monday shave.

Have a great day!

 

It had been over a year since I shaved with my Made in USA PAL Injecto-Matic - aka "The Schick Buster." Quick, easy, no drama and oh-so-close. The PAL IM, the Hussy, and the Bunny - the best of the bunch. Really and truly a great shave.

Keeping at it with the Asylum... A DFS for today as I tried a two-passes routine for lack of time. Didn't hit the sweet spot with Castle Forbes cream hydration though... I think it needed a bit more water than what I used today. I'll use it next time to test that.

Dudes - I recently bought a DE as per below. Feather AS-D2. My setup today was:-

Chemicals
TOBS Avocado
Truefitt & Hill West Indian Limes Balm

Mechanicals
Feather AS-D2 DE Razor with Feather DE Blade
Edwin Jagger Best Badger
Japanese Suribachi bowl (7 bucks from my local Japanese dept. store.....)

Boy ho boy are these blades sharp. It seriously felt like I was not shaving at all - super light pressure and the whiskers just fell off. 1 WTG and 2 ATG and some small touch-ups. My top lip hasn't ever been this clean.
