Thanks Doug, it performed as well as it looked

 

Like that bowl Clint, how about a side shot?

 

Sorry to hear about your dad. Hoping for a speedy recovery and you and your family have my prayers Jeff.

 

Prayers go out to your Father and family Jeff.

 

Monday, June 5th

Prep: Stirling Bergamot & Lavender Bath Soap
Shaving Soap: Stirling Piacenza
Shaving Bowl: Fine Lather Bowl
Brush: RazorRock Plissoft 24/57 Bruce Handle
Razor: Rockwell 6S (#4)
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (4)
Direction: WTG - XTG - ATG
Splash: Stirling Piacenza (+Menthol)
Balm: Stirling Piacenza

This was much better than the 1st time I used plate #4. I was being a bit more cautious and took my time. No irritation, but it was less of a close shave this evening. Could be a couple of things: me being more careful. The blade being 4 uses old. Even though tonight is not as close as the last few nights, it's still a great shave.

 

Thank you Paul.

 

Jeff my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

 

I will get one this evening Guy. It is far to big and shallow for a shave bowl but serves as a prop very well.

A good shave today. The first 2 pass went well, the third eh. I can tell my skin and my usual tough spots are still not fully recovered from the de haven shave the other day. But overall it was still a good shave. This soap is rediculously slick and the amount of soap residue on your face is crazy. lol I was able to crest a small lather after my rinse just with my hands. Awesome stuff! I'm glad you guys helped me figure out how to lather this soap!

 

Another shave with the El Jefe & Bulldog handle. Swapped out the Kai Pink and put in a Feather Pro for my 3rd shave with it. An amazing 2 pass BBS finish with a bit of buffing around the chin and jawline. A bit more blade feel from the Feather compared to the Kai, but not by much. As efficient and smooth as any other SE, except for the Brass General which is just beautifully mild but efficient. Finished off my shave with an old school favorite, vintage English Leather A/S splash & Cologne. The Men from yesteryear. Just Fabulous..... Have a great day and shaves Gents.

Razor: El Jefe
Blade: Feather Pro
Brush: Zenith Best Badger
Soap/Cream: SC Leather & Smoke
W/H: Thayers Medicated
A/S Balm: Nivea
A/S Splash: Vintage English Leather
Cologne: Vintage English Leather

 

You and your family are in my prayers, Jeff.

 

Love, love, love, that brush. Lance!

 

Will bend a knee for and will beseech The Almighty to extend His hand of love and compassion to your father, you and yours during this time of need......

 

Praying daily Jeff!

 

Boss-Mastiff-Mariner-SABI/Jaws-Pearl-Cadet Frankenrazor (L) v R41 (R). R41 smoother, Franken more aggressive and first impression is that it is more efficient. R41 definitely easier ATG on my head but Franken perfectly viable. Never had a razor smooth the moustache area near BBS in one WTG pass. The Pearl cap can be funky and impair alignment, the Boss cap with the Pearl baseplate works better.

Brush: VDH Badger
AS: Aqua Velma/Afta

After 3 passes,WTG/ATG/ XTG (as a clean-up), I feel real close to Dolphin Smooth. Each pass was what experts write about, smooth as silk. I could not feel any happier. To top it off, I found the perfect time (for my tremors). Maybe that had a lot to do with such a great shave, anyway, I`m a happy Camper. God Speed to all, and wishing great shaves for each member.
