Have a great evening!

 

Favorite February

February 13 - A week with Williams. Day 5

Razor - Gem MMOC
Blade - ASR Carbon - CVS (2)
Soap - Williams
Brush - Omega 10066 BoS
Post - Alum

By Jove, I think he's got it!

​

Yep. That's Williams. That I myself made. Nobody else helped with that. All mine. And, once applied for the first pass, the lather lasted through the pass. Thinned a bit, but it stayed where it was supposed to be. I added a touch of water and beat it like it owed Fuzzy money and got the same consistency for the second pass. Didn't take much extra but I wanted it back to this state. It did fade a bit more during that pass but I took longer on the second pass as I was doing touch ups.

The shave itself was smooth, comfortable, finished DFS and the alum was mostly quiet. No complaints at all. Now, two more days with the Williams to see if I can get it right for three in a row. We may be in miracle territory here.

Treet seem to have introduced come new Carbon Steel Blades...coated and as 'cheap as chips'. I restrict myself to 2 shaves with a blade and then bin it. The Tez blades have been good in any DE I have used to date....both sharp and smooth. As always.....YMMV.

3 passes for a wonderful smooth shave

Nivea 2in1 lotion
Vintage English Leather A/S splash (MEM)
Vintage English Leather Cologne (MEM)

An excellent shave this morning with the Mamba. The KAI still shows no signs of slowing down yet. A BBS finish in 3 passes. No complaints. Decided to go Old School scent wise today. Yes, English Leather. Why? Because we’re Men that’s why. Ah, the good old scents of yesteryear. Have a great day and shaves Gents...

Good to be Home
Superb shave today. Excellent lather and post shave feel. The Vision took down two days growth in comfort. I think the Vision shaves closer and smoother than the New Long Comb.

SOTD February 14, 2018

Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
Blade: Schick Proline
Razor: Schick G4 '66' injector
Brush: Restored Surrey badger
Lather: Reef Point Classic Barbershop
Post: Witch hazel, Reef Point Classic Barbershop aftershave
WTG, touch up

Easy peasy and great results. Enjoy your day!

 

This was such a great two pass BBS work of art - the Gin+Tonic on the Rocks soap felt so cooling and refreshing with awesome lather. Do I ever love that invigorating lemon/lime scent and the soothing post shave feeling. The Lucky Tiger balm, together with the Rubby Dubby Doo gave me a fabulous menthol jolt!

Enjoy your day!
