SoS; April 2018

Oh yeah. That bowl is tops man. It was a great custom job. Etsy has lots of artists who make great stuff if they are just given a chance. I don't think many of them make any real money off this, so I think it's more because they love to make things. The bowl is so much more cool IMO than cheap, sterile looking, stamped factory mass production pieces. I certainly have that mass-produced gear, but the custom gear just seems better somehow. Can't explain it. I just know it.

Beautiful photo Jim ☺️

 

I used my Canadian Gillette tech this morning. It was loaded with a Personna lab blue and I lathered up with Stirling bay rum soap, with my Maggards 24mm sythetic brush doing the chore. I topped it off with some Skin Bracer. It was a smooth and comfortable shave.

Good morning friends. A fine three pass shave today with the Muhle R41 fitted with a Rapira Platinum Lux. Marvelous lather from the Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements 1K shave soap. I am smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends. ☺️

Back to the $1 razor. Had to switch out the last blade as it tugged from the get go. Put in a fresh Assured blade and proceeded to an easy 2 pass plus touch ups BBS finish. A good start to a good day. Have a great day and shaves Gents... ​

 

Good morning lads and lassies!

Tuesday's action:

Nivea Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Astra day 2
RVT Dark Lime SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Aqua Velva Musk AS Splash

I enjoyed this shave very much but I think I made a mistake by buying this Aqua Velva Musk stuff. Mo's Dark Lime soap is a treasure. At least I got a great BBS result!

Carry on chaps!
