SoS; April 2018

Thanks...another one they go at LENGTHS to do is that Navy one.....I tried listening to the whole story-interesting at times, but more suited for a History course, I felt.

Arko Adjustable April!!

April 29
Razor - Qshave (Futur clone) (6)
Blade - (2)
Soap - Arko
Brush - Stirling Pro-Style Synthetic
Post - Alum

Next to last shave for April and it was a good one. The big Stirling brush helped reduce the Arko ring a bit and I had plenty of lather and then some. The Qshave wide open with Sharp Star is just a noisy and effective combination. Still smooth and still a near-BBS after two passes. Once again I skipped the touch up opportunity. I may be an idiot, but I'm no fool!

One more night with this and we'll be ready for some MAYhem!! I'll get the thread for May ready to go in the next 24 hours. You'll know it's here just as soon as I do! Hope you had a great weekend and a better tomorrow!

Agreeable shave today with good lather from a soft HMW plus first use of Chromium Oxide and seemed to smooth the blade edge - always things to discover in wet shaving.

Good morning friends. A fine three pass shave today with the Muhle R41. Marvelous lather from the Arko shave cream. I am smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends. ☺️

 

Menthol Monday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The TSD Cool Lime Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #274 boar brush. I did two passes with the Schick F with a Schick Proline B20 blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Granddad's AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
