Fatboy Friday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Sterling Lime Shave Soap
Jayaruh #277
Gillette 195 Fatboy
Astra SP
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Lucky Tiger

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Sterling Lime Shave Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #277 silvertip badger brush. I did two passes with the Gillette 195 Fatboy Razor using an Astra SP blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Lucky Tiger AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Thanks Jim, you as well buddy. ☺️

 

Thank you!

 

Curious about the RR Tobacco shave soap. I don't see it listed on the IB site. I really like the Puros which I'll assume is what the RR Tobacco morphed into. Have you tried the Puros?

Soap: RazoRock Classic
Brush: Omega 10086 boar
Razor: RazoRock German 37 slant
Blade: Astra SP (6)
Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman Vanilla

 

The most enjoyable shave I've had in a couple of days and a real bone-chiller thanks to the Glacial Black Cherry soap. Tons of rich, slick lather with that luscious scent and two boatloads of frigid menthol as well as the famous Stirling skincare. The Diana balm and Snake Bite felt heavenly!

Have a great weekend!

04/05/2018 - Shave of the Night​

Do you like TEA TREE? If you do - than this is the ULTIMATE TEA TREE SHAVE hands down!
The Schick Repeater Type B2 really kicks A$$ with the PROLINE blade -- getting used to this razor and finally getting used to the different angle (this is not the same as the G, E, L, M, N, O) --
Pheonix Shaving has a new brush folks - The Green Ray - 12.95 with a Faux Horse Knot and I strongly feel the faux horse knot is the BEST synth knot - and yes better than the Tuxedo or Plissoft - FLOPPY with Back bone - NOT TANGLE like a really horse hair knot - the GREEN RAY for the price really is a GREAT DEAL - the handle is a replica of a very obscure Ever Ready - and it is a perfect handle to pinch - and this is not that small - so dont think its a small brush,,,, also the colors rule -

peace out - JAMIE
