    Monday.
    Prep: Hot towel
    Pre shave: Prep
    Razor: Weber ARC
    Blade: Gillette Bleue Extra
    Brush: New Forest Tubby 1 Finest
    Soap: Ariana & Evans 'Khalifa'
    Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / RazoRock Aftershave Wax

    the GBE is proving to be a lovely blade, and 'Khalifa' is a soap that easily whips up into a wonderfully lush lather, that can hold A LOT of water, to provide a lovely slick, protective lather... the scent reminds me of 'Black Afgano', which in my book is a GOOD thing... finished off with the equally smoky RazoRock Aftershave Wax... RESULT!

    Good morning friends. A very fine three pass shave today with the Schick N1 fitted with a twin blade. Excellent lather from the Palmolive shave cream. I finished with Old Spice... smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends. ☺️

    Tabac Tuesday's Shave

    Proraso Pre Shave
    Tabac
    Jayaruh #291
    Gem Featherweight
    CVS Carbon Steel SE
    CWR
    Thayer's Peach WH
    Tabac AS

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Tabac Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #291 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Gem Featherweight Razor with a CVS Carbon Steel SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Peach WH and then Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    I had been reading reviews of the featherweight, and many were saying how mild they were and they could not get a good shave with them. Well, I don't think most of them know how to shave with GEMs. I had no problem with my FW. I just put the head flat against my face and went to town on my beard. I got a great shave. Now, I can continue through Thursday with it. It is a looker, and it is also a great shaver.

    Here's my SOTD - hope you like it:

    C.W. Beggs Facial Wash
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Astra day 2
    RVT Roseline SS
    Dave's Homemade ASB
    Razorock Don Donato AS Splash
    Issey Miyake Pour Homme EdT

    I not only woke up and smelled the roses, I got a fabulous shave. My dear friend Dave has a balm which is awesome. The Razorock Don Donato splash is so-so on the scent but it's fairly good as a performer.

    Best regards!

    Day 3 of my "mini focus week". Heading out shortly to my follow-up appointment with the dermatologist. The initial rash is under control. However it seems I've gotten a case of systemic poison ivy. Blisters popping up all over. Hoping for a course of steroids to remedy this mess.
