Happy Friday, everyone!

 

Here's my planned shave for Friday morning and I'll mention how it went after I'm done:

C. W. Beggs Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Astra day 6
Reitzer SS
Fino ASB
Quorum EdT

I'm beginning to feel like I live in South Africa - my shaves are becoming more and more South African-style!

 

Friday's Shave

Keeping It Simple Shave Week

Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #309
Alumigoose
Feather Professional
CWR
Aqua Velva AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Shave Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #309 synthetic brush. I did just one pass with the Mongoose Alumigoose Razor on loan from Redfisher with a Feather SS Professional blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Aqua Velva AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I received a 50% off email from Dorco. I went for the Lucky Tiger set. I tried a shave . Not bad. I love the Lucky Tiger . The razor will be moved to the head shave drawer.

Fougere Friday
This blade wore out early - I got some weepers on my neck and some irritation. Usually I get three shaves from a blade, but this one only gave me two.

If the performance of this soap matched the scent it would have no competitors for the No.1 spot in my soaps, as it is, it's not in my top five.
Happy Shaving one and all.

 

Good morning all
No time for a pix, sorry.
Fist time using the Maggard Slant Razor Head.

Pre shave
Homemade oil

Face
This was a close shave, not as close as some but still a DFS. Alinement of the blade was right on. I'm guessing I like a real aggressive razor over all others.
But this slant is a keeper. Gona get the matching handle now.

Head
A good one pass shave here with a new blade, just as I like.

so now I've used all my slants that I hadn't used and glad I have them all.
