A special setup for a special day.

Razor: the psycho tech
Blade: the spoiler
Brush: semogue 830
Soap: tobacco
Post: rose witch hazel
A/s: purros

Let’s be honest, sometimes our wives drive us crazy.. and for the singles, you have to be a little nutty to get married.. hence the psycho tech.. the semogue 830 to keep with the color theme of the day. The rose witch hazel to represent the flower of love and the tobacco to represent the chill, relax day I plan to have. And finally the spoiler blade... in hopes nothing goes wrong for those of you that have special plans..


HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

 

Happy Valentine's Day!

SOTD February 14th


EDRIO #22 Schick "Ladies Fashion Razor" Type H "The Hussy"
Personna (2)
JR #352 (30mm, Cruiser Class)
Stirling Hot Apple Cider soap
Stirling Bay Rum PSB

Jason @jtspartan and his 30mm SynBad brush was making me real jealous. So I commissioned a handle from Jim @Jayaruh and sent off for a 30mm SynBad. Both the knot and the handle arrived on Monday so I set the knot with silicone and let it set for a couple of days to cure. First use of #352 today! This brush is pillowy soft and doesn't have a lot of backbone and splays fairly easily (perhaps I should have set the knot a little deeper) but man does it make a mean lather. The knot is packed extra densely with fibers and was churning out custard like lather in no time flat. A little bit of fine tuning had that custard transformed into the slicker-then-snot super goop that Stirling is capable of. With a first class lather applied to my face I brought The Hussy into play. This razor is so smooth and sets the angle perfectly for you when you "ride the hump". Three passes later the baby was in the house and without one iota of irritation to speak of. I finished with some Stirling Bay Rum PSB and am smooth and smelling good! Have a great day my friends!

 

Thanks Doug!

Burma Shave Boar brush
Stirling MITA SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Clubman Reserve Brandy Spice A/S

Resuming the Shave of the Week (gotta have a Williams Wednesday!) and all went very well. The little Burma Shave boar brush is a killer. Just the right amount of backbone for me and really soft tip. Like it lots. My face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

Psycho on Valentines day !

 

lovely set up and pic sir..

 

The Marvel cap on the Conrad-Barbasol NFH plate transforms an overly mild shaver into a real winner. Glad I have the extra Marvel cap,, stock cap is going in a drawer. PolSilver (1).

 

Lol how do you have any extra cap?

 

Glad you asked. The cast Zamak Marvel guard plate is not what you'd call a paragon of precision. I sent Fine a photo of the uneven clamping of my head and they immediately sent me another one. The second one was a bit better. I don't think the lack of precision impacts the shave much as it's a pretty smooth shaver by everyone's review that I've seen.

 

Wow. But is it the cap or base plate? I would think the base is what’s off. But

 

I think it's the plate .
