    Cheers Friends,

    i had no time to post my yesterday´s shave, but now it´s time to share it with you.

    [​IMG]
    Razor: GEM G-Bar // Blade: GEM Stainless // Soap: Speick // Brush: Plisson Synthetic // Aftershave: Speick mixed with 3 drops Jojoba Oil

    Nice shave. The razor is gentle and smooth. Even if the blade was new, it was not that gentle as it used to be. No matter, it was a good shave. I will continue to mix 3 drops of Jojoba Oil to my Aftershave splash. My skin loves it and it gives a "balm" like feeling on the skin which lasts the whole day. Fantastic. Highly recommended.

    Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and take care.

    Greetings
    Thorten​

    Gillette WWII Tech Razor

    GW 26mm Synthetic Brush
    Dirty Deeds Green Tweed Soap
    Dickinson's Witch Hazel

    Overall my favorite and most efficient Tech razor. Two passes with a hint of touch up for an excellent BBS shave.

    Today's shave was with a razor that's bit me a few times. This one seems to have it out for me, but, not today. :D. I had a very smooth 2 pass shave, as always, with this razor. Near BBS results. Zero issues. This is one of my favorites. I don't know why??

    Razor- "Respect 4" Best Silver Steel. Extra Hollow Ground. Germany.
    Brush- B400, By Tom
    Soap- Stirling Ozark Mountain
    Aftershave- Osage Rub

    Friday's Planned Shave
    zcws.gif

    Nivea Men Face Wash
    L'OCCITANE Cade Shaving Soap
    Heldtite Synthetic
    Gillette Super 84
    New Improved
    Rockwell Swedish Stainless
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayer's Lemon WH
    Florida Water AS

    The L'OCCITANE Cade Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Heldtite Synthetic brush. I did the first pass with the Gillette Super 84 razor and Rockwell Swedish Stainless blade and second/clean up pass with New Improved, 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...

    Thanks Doug.

    Bought the brush in April as a birthday gift to myself and this will be the 3rd time using it. Has pretty good backbone and I like how the handle fits my hand.
