THURSDAY'S SHAVE


Prep: Occams Crushed Lime
Razor: Wilkinson Sword Classic
Blade: Gillette Rubie
Brush: Razorock BC Plissoft
Soap: Grooming Dept Angel
Post: Floid Black A/S


Had a very nice shave the other day. First time with Angel and the scent is great, spicy and sweet is how I would describe it. Excellent lather quality as always with GD soaps. Could detect hints of the scent of Angel long after the aftershave faded away, plus it left my face feeling hydrated and refreshed. Hope everyone got a great shave!

I`m back and feeling fit as a fiddle! Thank you Lord and TSD members. A 1 pass, WTG and some clean up. A brush full of lather on my neck, ATG/WTG/XTG strokes and lots of clean up resulting in as smooth and close a shave as I can remember(quicker so my meds don`t run out on me), ergo, no electric shaver in my future, I hope. Happy camper here, and may the Good Lord take a liking to each of you.

That sounds good Bill.

B&M Latha Oceana~~Thäter Fünf~~'11 Mühle R41~~Perma Sharp~~ck one
Used the B&M Latha for the first time today. Thirsty, thick, protective lather. Not sure why it's being discontinued.
Have a great day!​

 

Glad to hear you're back and feeling better! I always look forward to your shave of the day posts and reading the 1940's papers.

 

Before I announce my Sunday setup I want to wish Bill the blessings of God for good health!

Now, here we go:

L'Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Astra day 7
Palmolive Menthol SC
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Osage Rub AS Splash
Chabrawichi 555 Cologne

I hope my Astra holds up because today it felt like it was getting tired!

 

Good picture and setup Joseph. I really like that soap.

 

R41 vs Barbasol FH death match. After a couple shaves I'm used to handling the Floater and on this day it's edge Barbasol. The Barbasol was notably smoother all around, but particularly ATG on the moustache area, chin, and the back of the head where the R41 was grabby in comparison. Not only that, the crown stubble on the Barbasol side took less work than the r41. Soap is Colgate mug soap, fresh Nacet blades.

Ok this razor is awesome. It is mild and It’s not a hefty razor at all. The shave is very smooth and I’m diggin it something fierce. I got bbs smooth with less passes today so I’m pleased with its efficiency .
