SHAVE OF THE DAY


Prep: Musgo Real Oakmoss
Razor: Gillette Redtip
Blade: Rapira SS
Brush: Razorock BC Plissoft
Soap: Grooming Dept Wonderland
Post: L&L Cuir Et Espices Mentholated A/S


Nice refreshing shave this morning. Love the scent of Wonderland, reminds me of when I lived out in the country, in a good way of course lol. Lather held a ton of water and was slick and protective. Finished off with L&L Cuir Et Espices aftershave. This stuff packs a mean menthol punch, feels great on the skin. Hope everyone had a great shave!

 

Tabac Tuesday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Tabac Shaving Soap
JR #258 Synthetic
47 Gillette Aristocrat
Polsilver Super Iridium
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Aqua Velva Musk

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Tabac Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the JR #258 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the 1947 Gillette Aristocrat Razor using a Polsilver Super Iridium blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Tonight's shave was with a super sharp German Razor. I had a silky smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. Zero issues. This is a fine shaving razor, that takes a HHT-CN edge on it.

Razor- J.H.Obold & Co. Germany.
Brush- Stirling Boar
Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy Scented.
Aftershave- Osage Rub

RazoRock Gamechanger head (prototype) PAA Bomb Tip SS handle & Wilkinson Sword #1
Maggard B&W 30mm
WK Chypre Rose Concerto
Humphreys Alcoholado Maravilla
Nivea 2in1 lotion
WK Chypre Rose Concerto A/S splash

A very nice 3 pass shave with the Gamechanger prototype. Smooth and deceptively efficient as it took down 2 days of growth with hardly any irritation or discomfort. The WK Chypre helped in that department as it just provided excellent slickness and protection. A very good shave indeed. Have a great evening and shaves Gents...

SOTD - 5 February MMXVIII

Menthol Monday Edition



Have a great evening!

 

Thanks Jim!

 

Shaved head of the day.
Mentholized cream LEA, European white badger plisson brush, DT 14 filarmonica razor, Proyet setter, Brut classic aftershave.
As it was not cold I fancy this cream, simple but prepares the ground well with the help of "Naoleon brush" that as I liked, the DT to the point with the Proyet setter, a music to hear as it takes the hair. The Brut was exhausted, but yesterday I went through the super I got this one. It was a good classic shave.

God bless you, Bill! I'm glad you're feeling better now. May you continue to do well.

 

Thank you for your concern, God Speed in all that you do, Bill
