Brush: Jtspartan with 24mm hybrid knot

SS: MWF
AS: Williams AV

Might seem like a broken record, but I now see the wisdom of sticking to a focus and not changing too much at one time. While my shave still qualifies ad DFS I could tell the Voskhod edge was getting tired by the 3rd pass. 5 3 pass shaves is a little much. The alum was a little mean. No cuts or visible irritation but it was tugging by the end.

I like my silvertip badger knots but they do feel a little floppy at times. This 70/30 hybrid knot feels like a great balance. We'll see how it does after I finisg breaking it in. As for the handle, wow. Jason makes beautiful bowls an brushs.

Other than that, life is good.

Good morning, guys!
Shavette shave # 134
Dovo Shavette
Polsilver 1/2 DE blade (8)
Rockwell Synthetic Brush
Stirling Bay Rum SS and AS
Nivea ASB
I am off on this dreary Long Island morning so I slept a little longer and that's why I just finished my shave.
I like all my brushes, but my Rockwell synthetic really makes the nicest and most luxurious lathers in my collection, except for my C-mon. Today's lather was no exception. With only 2 passes, my Dovo shavette shaved my 41 hour growth w/o any blood or irritation for a IBSS++/BBS-. I thought I cut myself on the jawline so I hit the area with the styptic pencil. I did get a sting, but blood or any slash mark wasn't visible. Usually, I get a tell-tale sign of any skin rupture, but it was not the case in this instance. The blade was slightly tugging so I binned it after the shave. With 8 shaves on this blade, I don't need to go for number 9. I replaced the blade with a Personna headshaper to prepare for the next shave with this razor. Applied the nice smelling Bay Rum aftershave and then topped it with the Nivea. Make it a terrific Thursday guys! View attachment 217159 View attachment 217159

Oh boy...here we go. Vanilla and power with a bit of woodsy? Sold...over to PAA's site to add more to a shopping cart. Very nice travel shaves Jim! Love the image affect. Safe travels home!

Cool travel shave Joseph. Great image and report!

Very nice setup Mark!

Ugh...no weather fun with all that happening. Came through DFW as cold/wet, turned into a little sleet early last night. Didn't stick....

Back on the road for the final week. Good news is that my colleague has been diagnosed "Cancer Free".
It has been a privilege being able to teach his students and afford him the time he needed to recover.
Different hotel room, same hotel counter.
I am going to use the R41 today and tomorrow until I get home to get back to the MK32.
I commented on Jason's @jtspartan post, that his CH2 synthetic has a distinct bloom of the knot.
Mine is a second generation brush and what you see above is as "bloomy" as it ever gets.
It does eat soap, however
The vintage Polsilver tames the R41 ever so slightly.
Caution and concentration are mos def the order of the day when wielding it.
Once again, the Proraso products excelled and left me smelling...

very good.
Dealing with the aftermath of some ice this morning.
Hope everyone has a great Thursday.

Interesting software, Tom! Is the one on the left the shaving cream. I use Kapo out of Bulgaria, and really like it. Is that stuff Russian? How do you like it?
Click to expand...

Yes. I was buying Christmas gifts on eBay and I was short 10 bucks to use 6 months interest free.
So I bought a sample of Russian creams. I remember by samples a few years back from the TSD store so I gave it a shot.

First time out of the gate. Nice scent. Lathered nice. Asb had a touch of menthol and a faint scent. Decent shave. The Bulgarian Creams always interested me.

Stormy night with tornadoes and flooding. Schools are on a two-hour delay, which would normally mean some extra sleep in the morning, but we were up at various times with tornado warnings and then Wilson woke up early. Oh well. The shave was nice and easy. Thank you to @Screwtape for sending these Personna twins a few years ago. Everything came together quite well.

Enjoy your day!

February 5

Razor - El-Cheapo Chinese Pain Stick Thingy
Blade - View attachment 217118 (1)
Soap - Stirling Sheep View attachment 217120
Brush - @Jayaruh #54
Post - Alum

So it's February Favorites. Time to pick a favorite or two that isn't perhaps obvious. Well, ok, so maybe a bit obvious at some point. One of my favorites - that isn't a specific razor or other item - is trying new shaving tools that may or may not perform the way we expect them to. For the newbs, I spent many many shaves using questionable blades, razors, soaps etc. Why would I do something like that, you ask? Why, because testing our motto - Technique Trumps Tools - is the real motivation. If the theory is correct, then if the right technique is learned and used, any tool that isn't defective should provide a legitimate shave. Doesn't mean it has to be perfect, but something that we'd say "good enough, I can go to work now". Got it?

I picked up a super cheap "pain stick" a couple months back after someone on here posted a link. Yep, I'm that easily influenced. I say "pain stick" in quotes, because while it does feature the look and features of a true pain stick (otherwise known as an Artist Club razor) it uses half DE blades like a shavette. Intriguing. I'm a big fan of pain sticks so I couldn't pass this up. It's from China and cost less than $10 bucks. I'm actually surprised to say it fits together well and appears to be decent quality. Here's a picture of it in the box it came in along with 10 Dorco ST-300 blades.

View attachment 217117

I'd normally toss the Dorcos into my shaving box where all of the "in case the world ever runs out of Russian Steel I'll use these" blades reside but....it came with the razor so I'll use one. I'm not a big fan of Dorco. South Korean company, blades made in Vietnam. They aren't horrible, but they're not the top line blade either. Think Derby without the smoothness. Or as much smoothness. Here is a comparison between this cheapy and the real Kai AC razor.

View attachment 217119

The Kai is a bit longer and definitely heavier. The handle on the Kai is also rubber where the handle on the cheapy is what I'd call rubber feel plastic. My biggest issue when setting this razor up was simply getting the blade in it. I snapped a Dorco in half and spent probably 20 minutes getting it inserted in the razor. Like every real pain stick it has a sliding door on the back side and is hinged to hold the blade. The problem is getting the half blade to sit in the right place while you slide the door back on after loading. You can't really put the blade in just by squeezing the top of the razor to open the holder like you can with an AC. The blade tends to ride over the stops and disappear into the handle. It's also possible to get the blade inserted and have it on an angle - or missing a stop so that it retreats in from pressure. Really a pain in the behind, this one. Finally got it in and then thought about lather.

Time to pick an absolute favorite. Stirling Sheep. Yep. Mutton tallow. Slickest and most protective lather out there. I may need it. The JR54 is an excellent choice to make that lather so it got the call. Finally, ready to go.

I was actually quite surprised at how much it handles like a true pain stick. The blade is shorter, of course, but once you get the angle right it's easy to keep going. If you are good with a pain stick you'll be good with this one as well. I made three full passes and reached DFS. Not bad for a Dorco in this setting. I'll take it. And.......no blood whatsoever. Nice finish. The alum was pretty warm but not to the point of being a problem. Clearly the blade exposure in this setup created a bit of irritation but nothing that would stop me trying again. All in all I'd say it was a success. And.....most importantly......it proves Technique Trumps Tools is still a thing!! Nice shave.

Have a fantastic Thursday tomorrow. We got bombed by sleet then snow today so it's a winter wonderland after the warmest weekend on record. Yep. Living the good life.

SOTD 02/06/20

After skipping yesterday’s shave, I realized why I need to shave every day. Here I was, needing to reduce 48 hrs of thick, dense whisker growth. Time to break out the big guns, one of my most efficient safety razors, the heralded LaResche 51 Luxe. LaResche made the 51 safety razor model from the 30’s through the 70’s when they ceased razor production. This particular razor dates from near the end of production and was NOS when I acquired it. I love the shave it delivers. The OC design is interesting with the two end bars slightly above the interior teeth. The blade is housed between the two end bars and sits slightly below and flat against the interior teeth. Riding the cap with this highly efficient design puts the blade right at the skin line.

My last shave two days ago was a very comfortable DFS. The MWF I’ve been and will continue using all month has had an incredibly positive impact on my skin which feels really well hydrated. My usual cold water prep was quite refreshing this morning. Lathering felt like a real workout with the new 316L Synthetic brush from Rearden Razor. Happily the handle inlet design provides for a firm grip on this heavy 26mm synthetic brush. Luke Webster, the owner of Classic Shaving, lauds the backbone of this brush. I like a brush with a firm backbone, and the brush does not disappoint on this score, although it is one honkin’ heavy tool. I realized that a drop to the floor would fracture tile and/or toes.

That first MWF lather supplemented by the PAA Cube Soap was thick, shiny and yogurty and stood the whiskers up for the first WTG pass. The 51 sheared through the whiskers like they weren’t there. The second ATG closed the deal all around on a complete BBS. The alum block revealed no heat anywhere. I was left with velveteen smoothness on both noggin and face which I attribute to my continued use of MWF. I could have easily gotten away without any AS, but this boy does like his menthol. The Snake Bite AS topped off a perfect shave! I feel clean, coool, smoooth, and refreshed.

RAZOR: LaResche 51 Luxe
BLADE: Wizamet Super Iridium
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with PAA’s Cube Preshave Soap
BRUSH: Rearden Razor 316L SS Synthetic
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Thayers Lavender WH and finished with Fine Accoutrements Snake Bite AS Splash

Awesome shave this morning with the ATT @ R2 plate. I wish I could keep up but things have been real busy. I am still trying to get caught up at work. We got in from Pennsylvania Monday a week ago and that following Wednesday the guy I had rented mom and dad's house moved out unannounced owing money. So now I have an attorney involved. People just will not do right today. I cleaned up and shampooed a few of the brushes I got in Pennsylvania. Yaqi brush is for size comparison. The little Gillette is just too cute. Y'all take care.

Shave Cream & Aftershave

I changed up a couple of things in my effort to master the Rex. I went with a 7 O'clock Black instead of a Feather and used the dial from 2.5 to 3. The shave was smooth, comfortable and drama free. After touching up my jawline and neck, I did catch the baby. While I am very happy my wife gave me the CC Bay shave cream, it is just meh and will not be on the buy again list. A splash of CC Bay Rum aftershave and I am off to fight the beltway into work. With the rain and storms this morning, the commute will likely be just awful. I hope everyone has a great Thursday.

Good morning

Terrific shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. Nearly silent alum.

Today's randomizer pairing, LGC and Zenith badger. For those that don't know LGC earned me my "smelling pretty" CT, and this morning I do smell pretty.

Extra heavy load in the Zenith. Face lathered for the first pass, rested the brush in the brush scuttle. Hot lather for pass two started off thin and airy but quickly came together as it cooled. Same for pass three. B&M Glissant works with boiling water from the kettle.

Have a great day!

Feb Fave combo #5. Things are starting to get harder with this fave thing. Staring at a lot of good soaps in the den whose brand hasn't been chosen yet. Went with the Seville, one of my early favourties in the still awesome Glissant base. The Floating Head has only been in the den for a few months, but it doesn't matter, it makes the list. I truly have nothing like it in my DE den. You have to be so attentive, but then you are so rewarded for being so. The brush is an easy call- the Simpson synthetic knot is an exceptional synthetic knot. I do wish it was in an Emperor or Polo handle but beggars can't be choosers. I couldn't have a favourites list without pulling at least one CL splash out as well.
I had a very nice 3 pass shave. A good lather with none of the finickyness of the Reserve base and a pleasant, familiar scent. The FH got my full attention- A little left on my upper neck has me just short of perfect. The CL US is simply one of my go to scents that seems to work with lots of different accords. Love it.
Have a great day all!

February 5 SOTD:

Razor: Prime Med Prep
Brush: Razorock Plissoft
Lather: PAA Future Fiction
Aftershave: PAA Future Fiction

My hotel shave yesterday was with Future Fiction, as I have the shave stick of this soap, which works well with the travel. This is another wonderful scent, which they list as a summer scent. Personally, I would easily wear this all year. It opens with a bright citrus note, but there is a Musk present to it as well. Behind this is a little ginger scent layered with some Vetiver. The base of this scent is a soft amber with some slight woody notes, so the scent gets dryer as the day goes on. It is a wonderful scent.

View attachment 217149

February 6 SOTD:

Razor: Schick Krona
Blade: Polsilver
Brush: PAA The Solar Flare
Lather: PAA AGHARTA
Aftershave: PAA AGHARTA

Today, I pulled out AGHARTA, which I have for a while, but seems to get buried in my stash. I need to use to more, as it is a lovely scent. It has a wonderful powder note to it that is intermingled with vanilla. If you like vanilla, then you will likely like this scent. There is a very slight musky scent, and underneath everything, there is a hint of cedar and oakmoss. I definitely enjoy this scent. The soap was nice and slick and set up a great two pass DFS to get me going, which is a bit later than normal my plane got back to Houston a bit late last night. I hope everyone has been doing well.

Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements ASB - Star Jelly
Art of Shaving - Sandalwood & Cypress

30 degrees out this morning and wanted to retest a shave cream with the scuttle. Warm shower prep (B&BW face scrub), boiling water in the scuttle. Brush ready in warm tap water...then loaded with lots of T&H shave cream....instant mid size bubbles, slight volume made. Move the Zenith boar over to the face, and a nice thick, rich fragrant lather is transformed & distributed. Rex Ambassador set on 6, second use of the Gillette SB, and north to south pass completed without issue. Looking back to the scuttle, the lather has evaporated a good bit....a few drops of water, some brush swirling and voila, more goodness. Second pass with the RA still set at 6, did an XTG pass, ears to center. Small 'gotcha' notice on the neck, exactly where the Feather bit me on Tuesday. Tiny drop of blood appeared, didn't weep, stopped on it's own. Minor distraction. Couple more drops of water in the scuttle for the 3rd lather....set the RA at 2, go for BBS on the upper lip, chin and lower right neck. Done and done. Hot towel wipe off, PAA's Star Jelly all over. It's got a slight menthol addition, just enough to let you know it's there. Finished off with AoS's Sandalwood & Cypress, another wifey approved fragrance. Quite woodsy, my nose gets an even amount of Sandalwood & Cypress, but with a little cedar, olibanum and pepper. Big fan of the AoS colognes...they last and last, will catch whiffs all day.

Hope everyone has a Terrific Thursday!
