Marvelous shave with the Gillette Sensor 5 this morning. Three passes for a dolphin smooth and refreshing finish. Enjoy your day friends.

 

Great photo Jim!

 

This Super Speed of mine with an Astra blade gave me such an awesome three pass BBS shave!

The Glacial Lemon Chill soap lathered like a beast, thanks to my Plissoft synthetic and froze me to smithereens. The Lucky Tiger a/s cream did its part as well - hell, my skin couldn't feel better and the Lemon Chill witch hazel added to the freeze so nicely!

Enjoy your day, my friends!

 

Today's shave
Hot water wash with a washcloth
Olivewood/two band finest
Bombed Route 66 Rum Runner
Stahly head Maggards MR5 handle
Astra ss (3)
Crusellas Kolonia
Route 66 Rum Runner balm
Today's shave was great. Delicious rum runner, three passes with the stahly(quite amazing in efficiency) . Miami twist with kolonia. Smooth rub with rum runner botanical balm. The kolonia gin-y-ness really brought out the smell of cane sugar. I'm very happy with the mix.
Hope y'all did as well, or better

 

Prep - Noxzema / Hot towel
Pre shave - Proraso
Razor – Merkur 34C HD
Blade – Astra S/P
Brush - 'The Duke' (Duke 3 Best)
Soap – Barrister's Reserve: Spice
Post - Cold water rinse / The Sudsy Soapery: Lavender & Peppermint Aftershave Splash

Having finished work earlier than usual, I had time to shave with Barrister's Reserve: Spice.. Now, some of you may know, that I don't really get along with the Glissant base soaps, in that they don't offer me the protection that I need for an irritation free shave.. So, enter Barrister's Reserve.. I can honestly say, that the shave I've just had was FAULTLESS, and believe me, I was looking for them! It gave me a super slick shave, with all the protection I could wish for, and the post shave feel was soft, and moisturised.. STELLAR!

 

Thank you, buddy! Have a great day!

 

Thanks Jim. Have a great day buddy.

SOTD: Vintage Sheffield 'Pipe' razor from George Wostenholm & Son 7/8", Stirling 'Orange Chill' mentholated tallow soap, Omega 48Pro boar brush, Fine 'L'Orange Noir' aftershave. So smooth & citrusy. Have a blessed Thursday, gents!

 

New LC vs Rockwell 6s
This one was not as close as the match with the Futur. The Rockwell is much better than the Gillette New LC, imho. It proved to be smoother, more comfortable and efficient. No irritation or weepers on either side. Sudsy Soapery Delor de Treget is amazing soap and a great scent. Santal Auster pairs nicely and left my skin feeling great.
Prep: Chattilon Lux butter
Soap: Sudsy Soapery Delor de Treget
Brush: Brothers Bristles Bronze Shadow
Razors: Rockwell 6s R6, Gillette New LC
Blades: voskhod
AS: Chatillon Lux Santal Auster

Results not as good as yesterday, not sure if it was me or the blade went dull all ready. Supposedly Feathers do that, I'm not sure as this is my first time with them. Also found that a nice creamy, thick lather is not needed or required as the razor clogs easily. Still, the shave came out ok. Now go enjoy your day folks.
