Thanks, guys!

 

Saturday Straights' Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Arko Extra Performance
The Brush B-3 by Tom
Fredrick Reynolds 5/8
CWR
Aqua Velva AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Arko Extra Performance Shave Cream face lathered well with The Brush B-3 by Tom. I did two passes with the Fredrick Reynolds 5/8 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...

 

Another top straight razor!!

Thank you gentlemen, up for a rainy, gloomy morning is a Hayashi Diamond 8000, the always wonderful Santa Maria Novella, and a little Myrsol Agua Balsamica. Good stuff.

This razor is in better shape than my Hayashi user, but both shave very well indeed. And it’s a ‘real Japanese hollow ground’ !!

Excellent one pass shave today.

 

Citrus for Saturday.

Col Conk Lime - great smell. Lather is easy & good. Lacks some of the residual of soaps with amimal fats that I like. Quite capable and economical, should last a long time.

Geo. F. Trumper Extract of Limes Skin Food. - I will always have this. Can be used pre and/or post shave. Not greasy. Soothing. Has glycerin.

Pulled out the Wacker Barbers Bride. Performed flawlessly after a recent touch up. A tool made by a master in his trade has everything one could want in fit, form, and function. Lacking only in the sizzle of the pan.

Finished up with Stirling Satsuma. Now offered in Glacial menthol.

Great shave.

 

Wonderful shave, from a German Made Razor. Smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. This 1/2 Hollow can hold a very nice edge. I just wish I had it when it was pristine.

Razor- Hamburg Ring. German Made. Bone Scales
Brush- JR#262. WD Silvertip
Soap- ARKO/Sandalwood Scented
Aftershave- Florida Water.

 

Dubl Duck - As cool as this razor looks it is too lite for me. It more than 6/8 but the grind is so hollow it does not have the heft of a big razor. I am thinking about let this one go to make room in the den.... then it again it is very cool and takes a sharp edge.

 

Two Pass Shaving Routine..

Hot Water Prep & Massage with Argan Oil
NOS C-MON Blackie Solingen Full Hollow 5/8th ( Freshly Honed )

I Had My Maiden Shave with My Newly Acquired Factory Fresh C - MON Solingen Blackie 5/8th..She Sports a Coticule/Yellow Lake Combo Natural Finisher...I Took Her Off the Yellow Lake Oil Stone around the 17/18 K Mark..An Impeccable Shaver..Top Notch Solingen Steel..

Oh Aye..the Scales are Rather Fancy An All..

I was up for some lather luxury this morning, s I used a large dollop of SMN and a big Simpsons 59 - that did the trick! The razor was a 13/16 Le Jaguar, and a splash of Agua Balsamica finished up.

 

nice shave sir..

 

Thank you Gary!
