A swift yet exacting three pass shave this morning with the Gillette Sensor 5. I am smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends. ☺️

 

Lemon-scented icicles in my face from using the Glacial Lemon Chill soap, balm, and witch hazel. Three passes were what I needed to accomplish my BBS mission!

 

Thanks Doug. Have a good one!

At work the Benefits Department is hosting a MOvember thing, well I'm participating and the Wife was not overly joyed with the idea. I normally keep a round beard but had to shave it off this morning for MOvember. It always feels funny after shaving off facial hair one typically keeps.

Now back to the shave. This morning I used my Arko/Williams mix cake with the boar brush. Made a really good lather for taking off the hairs that normally stay on my face. The General and a Kai Pink w/ eight shaves on it made short work of my round beard. Two passes and once again I have a DFS. Finished off with my youngest Avon AS(I believe), Brisk Spice. The Brisk Spice is some where between 30-40 years old.

SOTN November 2nd


RazoRock Mamba
GSB
Ever-Ready H40
Arko
Myrsol Aqua De Limon

I had my first shave with the Mamba last night and no better way to christen a new razor then with Arko and a GSB. Fabulous design on this razor and the fit and finish are impeccable. This razor is definitely on the mild side but offers a little more of an angle window then the Baby Smooth. The head design pretty much takes the guess work out of finding the angle and after that its just a matter of fine tuning. The weight of the stainless steel, the slickness of Arko, and the sharpness of the GSB really made for an effortless shave. After 3 passes I had a DFS which I'm sure will be upgraded to a BBS once I get this razor dialed in a bit more. Have a great weekend my friends!

 

This shot is straight up AWESOME! Well done and absolutely love the Delta Echo work on the Ever-Ready!
