Schick G4
30mm SynBad/ Poculi handle
Saponificio Varesino Cubebe SS
Thayers
Fine Fresh Vetiver AS

Took a one day break from Stirling September to try out my new soap. Folks on here know that I'm an SV soap fan and I'd asked Clint his opinion on this scent a month or two ago. Clint gave it a thumbs up, and I can see why. The usual awesome 4.3 base lather and a wonderful, cologne scent. I'm not very good at describing scents in the first place, but especially with a complex, rich scent such as this. It flat out works and folks can look up the notes if they want particulars. Is the Fresh Vetiver a good combo? Probably not, but I like it too. I'll be purchasing the matching AS when it comes back into stock at my usual vendor, that's for sure.
3 passes later I was quite smooth this morning. Not so great on my lower neck, but I don't really ever chase it there. A few more days with this Injector and then on to another SE, I think.
Have a great day, all!

 

Sept 12
Gillette Fatboy G1 (9)
Rockwell DE (3)
Rockwell Synthetic Brush
Stirling Sandelwood SS and AS
Nivea Men's ASB (not pictured)
For this shave, I used the same setup from last night's setup with the exception of the razor and Nivea ASB.
Bloomed the soap and used the bloom water as a preshave. Really pushed the envelope on the lather and really made it wet. Did my normal # of passes so that the BBS train arrived in the station. Got a weeper on my lower neck near my Adam's apple. It surprised me because I don't ever get one there. Oh well, cold water put it to bed. I know it has been said before, but ever since I have used straights, my safety DE shaving results have dramatically improved. With safeties, I never stretched my skin. I didn't know to do so when shaving with a safety razor. Live and learn! Ok, back to my shave report! I applied the matching AS and then the Nivea Men's moisturizing balm to close it out. Have a great day, guys!

 

Excellent picture, Jason! The new soap sounds like a keeper.

 

Terrific shave, Joe!

 

Great post and shave, Jason! The SV QB2 (Q B squared, Cubebe) seems like a winner!

 

I picked up on it Jon. I will talk to cartel HQ to have the paperwork sent your way for your free cookies .

I still listen to those 2 bands btw. When is the 30Day crew putting out some new music? Seems its taking forever to release something.

 

Thank you, Jim! Now, that's shave #3 for the month, I will need to go to my next razor! I think it will be the lowly VDH, but I will see.

Gary, your shave was outstanding!

 

Uhh, why are you dragging me into this.

 

@jluc , Well now the two of you are making me feel a little bad. At least Gary @brit and @Terry got my back

 

Just looking for a friend with similar acquisition disorders.

 

Definition of a numpty, please!

 

I have what razors I'm going to be using planned out that far.

 

I see what's goin' down...you had the others all nicely lined up, but then realized you needed something for filler space.

 

Oh..RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAzors, I see.

 

Thanks Blair!
