Great looking shave and photo Perry. Good luck with the rest of the week.

 

I have saw others make the same comment. the NO75 certainly looks fantastic.

 

Thanks, Blair.

 

Thank you, Perry!

 

Brass is tough to paint. You need an etching/bonding primer.

Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements PS - Tube 2.0
Castle Forbes SC - 1445
Heritage Collection CMON 77-4 w/Zenith Boar
Drew Dick 7/8 Damascus Steel - Green Kirinite
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements ASB - Mysterium Serum
Hugo Boss - The Scent for Him

Started off scrubbing the face ATG with the Tube 2.0, then added water to the CMON, where a very nice face lather ensued. Usually I scrub in the Tube with tips of fingers/fingernails...first pass with the PS completely very nicely. Might do that more often! Rinsed and moved to the CF with the CMON, another face lather along with a focused XTG pass (downward ears toward middle). Last half pass was neck only, light ATG buffing. Finished up with the PAA ASB, followed with HB's 'The Scent'.

Ready for a dreary Wednesday! Overcast and drizzly for almost 48 hours now.....I don't remember moving to Seattle....

Hope everyone has a great day!

 

Terrific photo and setup, Blair!

 

Great shave and photo, Blair!

The weather isn't too good here either.

 

Awesome lineup and photo Blair.

Tatara Masamune SB
Feather
Shavemac ATG LE with D01 2 Band
Savonniere du Moulin
Fine Fresh Vetiver Aftershave
Guerlain Vetiver EdT

​

Up and moving this morning. I guess that is an accomplishment some days. I kept the Feather blade from the last two days but switched back to the Masamune razor head. Its smaller gap was a felt smoother with the feather than the Nodachi head. Three passes, touch ups and buffing caught the baby with ease. Of course a much slicker soap certainly helped the effort. A splash of Fine Fresh Vetiver followed by a spritz of Guerlain Vetiver EdT and I am out the door. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

 

Great shave and pic, Clint!

 

Very good shave this morning-again with Stoylin Baker St. soap&A.S. Got another nick, but smaller than the one yesterday, and on my neck this time. I shook off enough water from the brush that I was able to get my face and neck more "soapy" than yesterday. I got to thnking "Well, I splash my face and neck with water anyway, to get things going, therefore too much left on the brush would be just that.....too much water". That being said, I never shave with a 100% dry brush. But I'd rather not "overdo" it with the water. Yet I'm still a Bloomer.....Ready to go for Hump Day.

 

Thanks Daniel!

Very cool shave, my friend!

 

Thanks Clint!
I started at around 530 post behind yesterday. Got to my Tuesday's shave, about 350 left last night. Now this morning, I'm only about 450 behind.
Keeping up is quite a challenge!

Super shave, Blair!
