hello fello shavers, tuesday night shave..went with the 66 and the gsb again..nice combo..loaded the rr 400 with s.c. bignoli agrumi del mediterraneo shave soap and lathered a beautifully scented slick goopy lather. this soap is awesome..got a dfs+ shave in 2 passes and minor pick ups..cold rinse and fine italian citrus s/s to finish..have a great evening gents..
Thanks Chris! I also have 64 traditional straight razor shaves to boot. So my total straight shaves are 114.
Congrats on a cracking first run with the R41 on the bulldog handle, James! I also have an R41 head on a Weber bulldog handle, and I would agree that it's a great shaver. I'm also glad you like the Proraso balm...if it's anything like the quality of the shave cream, you have a winner there also.
thank you Clint,i originally got it without a case and was lucky enough to acquire one from a fine member here..
With how hectic life and work have been, plus problems with my phone I haven’t had many chances to post my last few shaves.
Thanks Gary! I am well on my way to 100 shavette and 100 traditional straight razor shaves. I should reach it sometime later this year.
I had a little time yesterday to check out an antique shop near the hotel in kc. No straights that caught my eye but I did pick up a few items.
Thanks, like you said the workmanship is top notch. I'll probably give the E plate a run in the morning.
Joining the Arko fun today. I did not want my puck of Arko to feel like I was discriminating against it so I used a fancy M&F brush and my pimped out Ed Brice straight. I was going to use Guerlain Vetiver but it is a cold rainy day so I decided to go with Guerlain Derby to match the weather.
