SOS: June 2018

Beautiful WW, Mark!

 

Parker 94r razor
ZaZa blade
Plisson/L'Occitane brush
Stirling Margaritas in the Artic SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
M&L Florida Water cologne w/added menthol

Mighty chilly but wonderful shave to start the week with. My face is very happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

Razor - Merkur
Blade - feather (2)
Brush - T-400 boar by @Vlasta
Preshave - homemade peppermint oil mix
Soap - stubble trouble praying mintis
Post - lavender witch hazel
a/s - proraso green
Cologne - Florida water

Today’s shave was an awesome shave . No issues other than the feather slicing through a pimple ( twice ) lol. The blade and razor combo is fantastic. I’m convinced that a feather in a mild to medium razor is the way to go with it. The brush is no joke, it fits awesome in the hand and the boar just powers through the soap. It has sooo much back bone.

Our very own @Vlasta has created this tribute brush and he has done a fantastic job with it. The weight and size is perfect in my opinion.

 

Thanks Andrew!

 

And it's an opinion I share with you.
I really could not see a better shave brush.

 

Good morning chaps - today's Menthol Monday:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/new Astra
Stirling Glacial Black Cherry SS
Stirling Glacial Unscented ASB
B+M Arctique AS Splash

Brrrrrrrrrrrr cold and beautiful!

Have a great week!

 

Fatip Mk1-SABI, Bic (2). Marvelous pairing.

 

B&M Seville soap, PAA Green Ray synthetic/tribble brush, C.V. Heljestrand straight, Dapper Doc aftershave.

Two passes, one stupid cut on the port side cheek, due entirely to speed and arrogance. Hubris, meet Nemesis. Otherwise, a nice Monday morning shave.



The lather! Beautiful stuff like this makes me want to bend down and bury my face in it.
