Stunning brush Jim.

 

Thanks Doug

Yaqi Moka Express 26mm 2BB Brush
Turkish Copper Bowl
GEM Featherweight with a GEM SS Blade (#4)
Thayers Witch Hazel with Cucumber
Simple Moisturiser
Monotheme Vetiver Bourbon EDT

I can only describe this cream as 'Vintage' with old packaging and the old formulation. This has to be one of my favourite Vetiver scents.......really dirty and earthy.
3 passes for a perfect shave with masses of feel good factor.

Hi Friends,

today is the 3rd Sunday in Advent, so i wish you all the best. Hope all of you are doing well.

Here is my shave:

Pre-Shave: Furbo Sansdolor
Razor: EJ DE89 + Bulldog Handle
Blade: Sputnik (2)
Soap: Cella Aloe Vera
Brush: Doriancrafts
Aftershave: CHH Tobacco
Pomade: Sweet Georgia Brown
Music: Ludovico Einaudi "I Giorni"

Great shave.

The new Cella lathers up very easy. It is more a cream, than anything else, so you need the minimum amount of it, to get a huge amount of lather. The scent is fresh and smells nice.

The razor in combination with the blade and the shave was very relaxing and enjoyable.

Now i'm waiting for my Rockwell 6S to arrive.

Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and take care.

Greetings
Thorsten

 

I forgot to post my shave of last Sunday.

Here it is:

Razor: EJ DE89 + Bulldog Handle
Blade: Gillette Wilkinson Saloon Pack
Soap: Calani Oriental Plum
Brush: Felix Schulze Synthetik
Aftershave: Majestät

I love the scent of the Oriental Plum. So warm and enjoyable.

The rest has been outstanding.

Greetings
Thorsten

SE Sunday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Arko High Performance Shave Cream
Tom's 3D Printed Brush
C.V. Heljestrand
Gem SE
CWR
Lilac Vegetal

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Arko Shave Cream face lathered well with Tom's 3D Printed Brush. I did two passes and a cleanup with the C.V. Heljestrand Lather Catcher razor with a Gem SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Lilac Vegetal After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Sunday morning:

Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Derby day 5
Proraso White SS
Proraso White ASB
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS Splash

I always loved the Proraso White soap’s scent as well as the way it lathers, and its gentle menthol sensation. It also does such beautiful things for sensitive skin. The matching balm and the Aqua Velva gave me plenty of extra cooling and soothing postshave care. What a great shave this was!

Have a nice Sunday!

Great B&W with a touch of green!

 

Beautiful vintage packaging for that soap!
Did it have any tallow at that time?

 

2019-12-15, Sunday

The Christmas frenzy is rampant in spite of the economic crisis: at the market this morning was a delirium of people who plan dinners they will have with people who did nor chose and who frequently do not want to see but continue, undaunted, to attend: self-harm? Masochism? Acquisition of Paradise Bonus? (I will probably go to Hell at the speed of light ...)

As if you had to wait for Xmas holidays to eat as if cholesterol didn't exist!
In fact, apart from Christmas, New Year Eve and Easter, everyone eats healthy and moderate throughout the year!

When I came back home from the market, I shot this photo.
Should have stayed at the market...

This morning I felt in the mood for a chypre scent, but picked too light a razor for my tastes.

Nevertheless a good shave!

A brilliant shave with the Timeless Bronze. Very good blade feel but, because of the weight all that is needed is the lightest of touches and it sings beautifully. A superb performer that sits relatively under the radar to it’s other Timeless stablemates not to mention its position as being a ferocious whisker whacker. Great Sunday and shaves to all...​
