Thursday's Shave


Nivea Men Face Wash
VDH Deluxe Shaving Soap
Bunny B-400
Gillette 195
Rockwell
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayer's Lemon WH
Florida Water AS

The VDH Deluxe Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Bunny B-400 two-band badger brush. I did two passes the Gillette 195 razor and Rockwell Swedish Stainless blade, and I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Florida Water AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Thank you.

 

Thanks Andrew. When I took the pic, my youngest sister sent me a pic from Maui with a huge Margarita in her hand and surfers in the background so had to find a background to fit the mood.

 

Margaritas in Maui? Let's go!

Great picture and setup Guy.

 

Thanks Doug!

 

Something different for today. This vintage Ever-Ready brush had been listed and relisted on eBay and it called to me everytime I saw it. So, I bought it. I never figured on it being so small. Clearly an early entry into the travel brush category. The diameter is about the size of a penny. Holds water like crazy but had it figured out by the third pass.

I don't often shave twice in a day but my son has an awards banquet tonight. So it gave me a reason to shave . Unlike the lemomelon, this soap doesn't burn and boy its slicker than slick!! Wowsers! I don't use it often as it's a sample and I forget about it.

 

Here's how I plan to shave as June opens:

prep-Dial 4 Men Bodywash(Subzero)in shower
shave-Fields&Streams soap by Local Gent Shaving Co.
brush-Burma Shave
razor-la Sensore Deux Pivote + JettABLE par Gillette
A.S.-Marshlands by LL Grooming via Maggards.

 

I'm ready to do a Bay Rum again. It's time.

 

Good line up Karl.

jamie's night shave

 

This soap arrived in the mail today and I love the smell (Iced Pink Grapefruit). I liked it so much that I decided to take it for a spin. My other three TSD shave soaps are non-lanolin sticks that I face lather with. I grabbed my Jayaruh #155 Boar and whipped up a wonderful lather. Not only not does this soap smell great, it performs!
A wonderful second shave of the day.

Have a nice evening!

 

I really like this photo. Also that straight look great! A bold and intimidating beast, I am not a straight shaver (yet), so that considered larger than most blades?
