Nice setup.

 

Today's shave was with a newly acquired, restored, and honed razor. I had a great 2 pass shave, with very minor touch-ups, that left me BBS. These little Duckies sure do take a nice edge.

Razor- Dubl Duck "SatinEdge".
Brush- Omega Boar
Soap- Arko/Sandalwood
Aftershave- Pinaud Clubman

 

Evening single pass head shave. I used the Guiding Eye version of the Bullet Tip, which I just realize is a different finish, a shinier chrome of a slightly different shade from the earlier version (appears to be nickel). Nice comfortable shave, adequately sharp.

I had no idea Palmolive made an AS. Is the scent like the soap? How is the performance?

Favorite February

February 26 - A week with Tabac meets a week with the Fat - FatBac - Day 1

Razor - Gem MMOC
Blade - ASR Carbon - CVS (2)
Soap - FatBac
Brush - Wolf Whiskers Custom Silvertip
Post - Alum

Well if you were wondering how I could call 5 days a week for MWF and Tabac, now you know. The final four days are FatBac days. That wonderful half and half mixture of the two soaps. If I found out that all shaving soaps would disappear from the face of the planet in a month I'd buy all the Tabac and Fat I could and mix them to keep going. Great scent when mixed and the lather is easily as slick or even slicker than Stirling and very cushy too.

The Wolf got the call to make the lather and did its usual fine job. The blade was as smooth as silk on the lather and it only took two passes and some neck work to get the baby on board. A very nice shave as we wind down FAVuary.

​

 

Shave nirvana? For now, but it's just a fad... It'll never last!

However I must say, the Probak Razor seems to be the most efficient and smooth shaver I've ever touched to scalp.

Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Pinaud Clubman AS

My first impressions of this soap aren't great but it's possibly user error.
The brush gets better with each use and no tangling issues to date.
The 1924 loved the freedom a longer handle gave it.
So, apart from dissipating lather, a very enjoyable shave was had.
Happy Shaving one and all.
