Saturday Straights' Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Amalfi Basil Lemon Shave Soap
Jayaruh #224 Synthetic
Rocket 5/8
CWR
PSC Caffeinated AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Amalfi Basil Lemon Shave Soap face lathered well with Jayaruh #224 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Rocket 5/8 straight razor and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with PSC Caffeinated AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Good morning friends. A fine three pass shave today with the Schick N1 fitted with a twin blade. Easy, slick, rich lather from the Proraso shave cream. I finished with Old Spice, smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends.

Early start to today but a great way to start the day. This was my first go with quite a few products so lots learned today. First, the Timeless handle is big, much longer than what I'm used to and it will take some adjusting however it has great balance when matched with my stainless General head. This was also my first go with anything from Truefitt and Hill and my first try of a cream but I was really impressed. I just dabbed my brush tips into the cream and within seconds a beautifully thick and creamy lather was whipped up. This stuff is slick, it has great cushion and fantastic post shave feel. It also doesn't hurt that I love the scent. A splash of witch hazel followed by the alum produced zero feedback. I followed this up with the Stirling Arkadia EDT which was the only product that gave me any disappointment. I don't know if I got a bad bottle or if the scent of this is always weak but it took 4 sprays before I could even notice anything. I also applied this yesterday with similar results and the longevity was also lacking. We'll see if that holds true today. To be fair, the scent is fantastic I just wish it lasted and I didn't have to pour it on. It was still a great shave and I'm ready to start my weekend. Have a great day folks!
