Bob, my bodywash/shave prep for today was Platinium + , by Nivea 4 Men. I've seen where your FINE Platinum is quite similar to Stirling's Executive Man-wonder if the same can be said about the Nivea 4 Men Platinum Bodywash. After all, platinum is....well, just that.

 

Thanks Jamie. Have a great day buddy.

 

Kami Friday: A challenge this morning as I use this lefty Kanenaga (兼長) kamisori with only my right hand. Slow & steady with some awkward contortions...two passes left me passably smooth. No blood. Route 66 'Cavendish' soap and matching balm, Omega boar brush. Have a blessed Friday, gents!

Really nice Friday shave, all went well and I'm ready to go. Now go enjoy your day folks

 

You pic as a "purple haze" look about it, Very cool Rob!

 

Rockwell -5 / Permasharp. The Rockwell base plate doesn't fully support the blade so I imagined a shim might improve stability. Sure felt great, definitely one of my closest head shaves with a lot less angst than the Shavecraft Tech.

La Toja (the never ending bowl)

Homemade Lime AS

This morning I took the soap destroyer once again to the never ending bowl of La Toja. I deviated from my normal routine a little in that I face lathered instead of bowl lathering in my scuttle. The CH2 made quick work of building a great later and I went for a quick 2 pass shave with the Tech. Ended up with a nice DFS and followed it up with a generous application of my homemade Lime AS. My face is feeling soft and smooth and ready for the workweek to be over! Have a great day my friends!
