Good morning

 

Milksteak Monday
Outstanding shave today. My skin feels especially soft and supple after this drama free shave. I realized that I was loading this soap way, way, to heavily! I'm already seeing the donut hole after only three months or so! I will certainly replace it when needed.

Fine shave this morning with Stoylin Sandpiper Soap&A.S. Right away as I got the soap on to my face&neck, I said to myself "You're gonna need a second pass" But pass #2 still had some water. Should have done a better job shaking it from the brush(or MOST of it). The overall shave was good....Jayaruh#59 did a fine job of loading the soap and administering it onto my face and neck. 2 passes(as I said), no cuts. Probably a little too much aftershave applied. but I figured it would "calm down my face and neck" eventually, as it did. I'll be sure to watch my brush preparation tomorrow. Pretty Excellent.

SHAVE OF THE WEEK

Hybrid razor = EJ head/Scotch & Stowe handle
Vie-Long Silver Tip brush
Viking "Citron" SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe & Viking "Citron" balm
Assorted A/S

I like all the individual parts and hope they all like each other. We'll soon find out.

 

Gem BT-Seeing Eye (1st pass), Leaf (2nd pass). Leaf with 3 Treet Platinum blades is a bit more efficient, the Gem easier to use.

I've had that Grant book now for a couple years, and have yet to begin reading. That is BAD.

 

Mergress XL/Feather Hi-SS/Graydog 26mm Quarter Moon/GD preshave Eucalyptus &Spearmint
Stache Soapworks Aqua/RR Aqua after shave splash/ Black Bold by Kenneth Cole eau de toilet


A very smooth and refreshing shave. The Mergress is a very competent razor that rivals many of the exotic alloy razors in the market today. Precise alignment and dial adjustment, it takes a back seat to none in terms of shave quality and performance. A great evening and shaves to all....​

Maggard 24mm 2BB - P&B Spitfire - Feather AS-D1/Feather - Clubman Special Reserve

I bought this razor when it was released several years ago and never managed to use it due to its reputation as a very mild shaver. I enjoy milder razors nowadays so decided to give it a go. It took the full 3 passes....but what a finish!

 

I get some of my best shaves with my AS-D2.

 

Thank you, Gary. ‘Twas a lovely shave.

 

Thank you, my friend...
