Nice comfortable shave to start the week with. The VeraSoapCo SS is a really nice locally produced soap. Lathers easily, nicely cooling and provide good skin care. My face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Featured below, are to me the main ingredients to a really great shave (including the Dog) :

Razor
Blade(s)
Lather

This Morning`s shave, with these implements gave me an almost perfect shave. As far as all the prep. (very important), you can use different items, to change or break the monotony, whatever. To me, it`s razor, blade and lather. A good brush is important, just my opinion.

My shave for Tuesday:

L'Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Astra day 2
RVT Frosty Bay Rum SS
Krampert's Bay Rum AS Splash
Aramis EdT

Back to Durban, South Africa for tomorrow morning!

 

I've been agonizing a bit about the pre-order Rockwell Model T. Looks great, great price. So fresh Nacet in the 6C, 6 plate. Very good shave, but not a 1+ touch ups head shave kind of efficiency. More a relaxed 2+. I'm gonna pass I think on the T and save the $ for a Leresche 77 or Red Ring.

Very good post, please check your PMs.

I’m passing on the T as well. Personally when I saw the prototype at the big shave west , I wasn’t really diggin it then. It looked large and clunky to me. I almost bought into it at the price but I’m thinking maybe waaay down the road..

 

Razor - Gillette Gold Aluminum Rocket
Blade - Feather (3)
Brush - cedar jayaruh 260
Soap - Stirling Lounge
Post - lavender witch hazel
A/S - Florida water

Hot damn this was a fantastic shave! Buttery smooth through out with no issues what so ever! This razor is light.. like feather light! The blade and razor combo is perfect. I didn’t even need a clean up pass.

 

Here it is for Tuesday(shave):

Actually, just about the same animal as today-except for:
A.S.-Avon 4 Men Maxwell '23 Tribute(Oldies Car)

Tabac Tuesday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Tabac
Jayaruh #105
Henckels Rapide
Henckels Wedge
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Tabac Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #105 two-band badger brush. I did two passes with the Henckels Rapide Razor using a Henckels Wedge 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...

Hello all, have not posted in a few days. Last week was a vacation (Stay-cation). I plan on using DE razors for a little bit.
Got lots of blades, vintage and modern DEs collecting dust. ... here are the last several nights... peace.
