Sunday May 3rd SOTN

Mmm, a relaxing Brass-TAR shave tonight after my very busy ER shift today. Tabac was creamy as usual. Minimal irritation but some may be due to wearing a mask all the time . Anyway... I'm smooth and smell great for bed. Happy shaves all.

Tonight's shave

Royal no. 1. 6/8" Best extra hollow grind

Perfect Japanese strop

Lowborn Supply with 26mm synthetic knot

Captains Choice lather bowl

Black Ship Grooming Captains Pipe soap

Black Ship Grooming Captains Pipe After Shave

This was the first time using this soap and aftershave. It is a good soap and aftershave. The soap has a good amount of slickness with a little thicker lather than what is normally required for shaving with a straight. The AS also performs well. The scent is very strong. It's now been almost 2 hours and it's just as strong as when I first applied it. The scent is cherry pipe tobacco. It has a very strong tobacco scent with a light cherry sweetness. If you are looking for a good strong tobacco scent this is a great choice.

I had a very nice shave with the Royal Razor. I am finally getting consistent smooth comfortable shaves now that I finally figured out how to use zero pressure by trying to use a negative pressure. Basically what I started doing is pulling away from the skin until it is barely touching.

 

very cool..

Menthol Monday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream
Burma Shave Boar
Schick L1 Injector
Personna
CWR
Osage Rub

The C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream face-lathered well with my Burma Shave Boar Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick L1 Injector with a Personna blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I hate Mondays! But only to comply with Snoopy because I liked them when I could go back to work after the week end even though, having the keys to the office, Saturdays and Sundays often saw me clearing out back papers.
When I had the office at home, it was really great!
But if Snoopy hates Mondays… I hate Mondays, too.

An olfactory challenging shaving: soap doesn’t give me sensations/emotions and aftershave, while acceptable, has a smell that I’m sure many people like, but not me.
But I am trying to get rid of products taken at the novitiate’s push.
Wilkinson’s reminds me of a soap, but I do not recall which one: Tabac? Irisch Moos? I don’t know!
