Mini Vacation at the White Mountains in New Hampshire, Live Free or Die Baby! Here are my Tuesday and Wednesday night travel shaves. On Wednesday I drove the family up Mt Washington, wow what a scary experience.



It was cold up there, breath taking views....

 

Thanks Mark, that's a compliment from a guy who knows top-quality gear.

 

Gem Damaskeene razor
Gem Blue Star blade
WD Synthetic brush
Taconic Eucalyptus Mint SC
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Taconic Eucalyptus Mint A/S

Day 2 with this razor/blade and again the shave was very smooth comfortable and very mild. Needed that 3td pass again to get the results I like. I varied the angle of attack during the shave but it stayed the same sooooo think I'll put it back on the shelf and go with another SE tomorrow. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

Thank you, Roby!

 

Thank you, Mark!

 

Pre: Cold water face wash
Brush: Vie-Long 14846 Badger/Horse
Soap: SV 70th
Razor: DeHaven Model 3
Blade: Schick Proline P
Post: Cold water rinse, SV 70th ASL

The more I use the DeHaven the more I like it, nice and nimble and slightly wider than a Gem or injector blade.
I can see why the SV soap has so many fans. Until I'd bought some from BST my only experience had been with a sample and I don't think I get the best out of samples.
Happy Shaving one and all.

 

Local Gent Fields and Streams soap, Omega Pura Setola bristle brush, DGE razor with a Voskod blade, Cella aftershave.

Two slick passes, one quick touchup, and voila! Thursday has been started the right way.

 

Schick G8 Razor
Personna Injector Blade
Ever-Ready #1 Boar Brush (restored)
Palmolive Shave Stick
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Barbasol After Shave

Went with three passes today, as this blade has seen some use, for a nice BBS shave.

I hope you like that Fields&Streams as much as I did. In fact, I may get that one again from LG next year. I thought about their LOUNGE, but I expect to have a good lineup of leather/smoke products by the end of 2019 anyway.

 

Pretty brave of the girls to be in shorts at the summit.

FANTASTIC SOTD
RazoRock Emperor is marvelous.
I'm really loving the Semogue Owners Club boar, this is the longest I've used a boar brush and I'm a bit mad at myself for not doing so years ago. Love it!!
RazoRock Game Changer is my favorite razor, I get wonderful face and head shaves with it.
I used a PolSilver blade and they just work great for me.

Love you guys!!

 

Beautiful!!

 

Nicely done. I'm going to go with the Fat next shave.

 

Beautiful family.

 

Thanks Kerry!!
