Friday's Shave


Cold Water Wash
LaToja Shaving Stick
Jayaruh #319
Bunny V3 Injector
Schick Proline B20 Blade
CWR
Mennen Skin Bracer

Yesterday, @Redfisher came up for a visit and brought some honing tools. He helped me put a better edge on my Acme 5/8 razor. This morning, I gave it the cheek test. After lathering up, I did my right cheek. I am happy to report that his/our efforts were successful. Not only is it sharp, it is smooth, too. I will put it back into my straights rotation. I am looking forward to shaving with it again.


My prep was just a cold water rinse. The LaToja Shaving Stick face lathered well with the Jayaruh #319 brush. I did two passes with the Bunny V3 Injector Razor with a Schick Proline B20 Blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Mennen Skin Bracer AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Clubman Reserve Brandy Spice A/S

1st use of a horse hair brush and not sure what to think yet. Kinda scritchy but made a fine lather for sure. Have to use it some more to decide how I feel about it. The M1 gave its normal great shave and my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

A change in the soap choice - this is a Honeybush sample from Bundubeard in South Africa. I think I like this stuff much more than the first tome I used it. The scent seems a lot nicer, the lather is a pleasure, and it has a very comfortable post-shave feeling. I used the sample like a stick by rubbing it along my face and neck for around thirty seconds and then my Plissoft did its great job. Three passes gave me a super-duper BBS shave, and guess what - no balm was needed after!

Absolutely gorgeous photo, Celestino!

 

Bohin/Chinese Wilkinson. Pleasantly surprised with this razor. Mild but quite effective, even ATG on my head where I expected some chatter.
