Tabac Time, and the lather is easy
Outstanding shave again with Tabac and the Stirling Boar. This brush is a pleasure to use already and I'm looking forward to seeing how much more it will break in this month. Test Depth is a very nice aquatic scent and the balm does wonders for my skin.
Great win for Michigan State yesterday!

Lots of icicles in my face after this sweet three pass BBS shave from the Black Ice soap. I LOVE that anise scent, and that lather exploded off my Plissoft synthetic like a maniac. The menthol effect was pretty darned strong also, and it really kicked in during my final pass. The Snake Bite aftershave is pretty well scent-free, so it doesn't disrupt any fragrance you want to wear and did ever freeze me when I slapped it on. I couldn't be happier with the results I got today!

Wishing everybody a great Sunday!

The Mark Cross Razor is superbly matched with the Kai Mild AC blade. Very smooth and efficient, just one pass plus for the head shave. I have to revisit this combo more often.

Razor: Gillette SS
Blade: Personna Comfort Coated
Lather: Gillette Foamy (can) (1)
Pre shave: Homemade
AS: Brut Splash On


After 13 shaves in a row with probably the best combination of razor/blade there is, (at least in my arsenal), I changed over to the next best razor I have, but the pairing could be better, I think. I could tell immediately that the up-coming shave will not be the same quality as the TwinJector. I worked a little harder
at the clean ups and finally came out with a decent shave, 2 passes, WTG/ATG and XTG, the Super Speed is a great Razor, but you really need the right blade. That will be my project for the next couple weeks. I just can`t remember which blade I used with the SS before, it`s gonna be fun searching again.
Wet shaving is always a study in progress. I guess that`s why it is so much fun. I`m well satisfied with todays shave DFS, I guess. God Bless and happy shaving.
