I have to send you an official questionnaire and get a background check, if all is in order, you may apply for an internship.

Menthol Monday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
TSD Cool Lime
TOST LE Synthetic
Bunny V3 Injector
Schick Proline B-20
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Aqua Velva Ice Blue

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The TSD Cool Lime Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the TOST LE Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Bunny V3 Injector Razor using a Schick Proline B-20 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 Ice Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Avon Wild Country After Shave (Snoopy)
Avon Wild Country Cologne (Shave Brush)

Late shave today just because I felt like it. The Rockwell has quickly become one of my favorite razors. It has handled every blade that I've put in it very well. Two passes with a hint of touch up for an excellent BBS shave.

 

Nice stuff you got there Tim. If that shave stand decides to set sail, I know where it can dock...............

 

SOTD 2.18.2018
Face Shave (3 days growth)
Pre-shave: hot shower & Nivea Men Sensitive Face Wash
Brush: Barburys synthetic
Soap: Arko
Razor: GEM Junior
Blade: GEM stainless (4)
Post-shave: Dickinson's Original WH, Nivea Men Sensitive PS Balm, Aqua Velva Musk AS / Cologne

 

Same setup for evening shave (Fatip-Yaqi/Permasharp). The folk doing the Lord's work at refinedshave measure the Permasharp after one beard and head shave as the sharpest on the market (see column 2; Feather is tied for 15th), and my experience is entirely consistent with their rankings). An incredibly close single pass shave. I could feel it though, not a setup for kids. The Rockwell handle got a shot of white lithium and went on easily.

erasmic soap and pinaud lime sec splash..a little old school.
great 3 pass combo shave,dfs. more efficient than the 60s techs?
have a great week,gary

 

I don't think I'll ever sell the set. Took nearly 2 years of figuring out what direction to take for the whole set. I have enough products to last a couple of decades if used carefully. I'm keeping this one until I'm pushing up daisies I think.

 

Well thank you very much. Y'know, I.......HEYYYYY!!

 

Old school is my kind of school.

 

old school is the best school...

 

Favorite February

February 18 - A week with Mitchell's Wool Fat - Day 3

Razor - Gem MMOC
Blade - ASR Carbon - CVS (3)
Soap - Mitchell's Wool Fat
Brush - Jayaruh #54
Post - Alum

Third day for the Fat and it just gets better and better, if that's possible. Again with a synthetic knot for the fastest and thickest lather imaginable as the JR54 was perfection. The 400 style design makes it a great handling brush as well. The Carbon blade on its third day was still smooth and no sign of letting up. I ran three full passes again, WTG, XTG, ATG with the neck getting its X pattern and the baby is in the house on quiet alum. The OCMM again did its job with the help of some extra quality software.

Tomorrow's Monday - or Wednesday if you're me. We were slammed all day today and hope to get one more day of that kind of action tomorrow. I have two boxes of Samoa Girl Scout cookies on my desk to get me through! Have a great start to your week!

Razor: National Gold Steel 5072 - a fine 13/16” full hollow that really sings
Brush: Shavemac 24mm Silvertip
Soap: The Sudsy Soapery Cola

Enjoy your shave!
