Very nice looking razor.

 

Excellent shave Joe. Glad to see you are able to fine tune that beautiful razor.

 

Wonderful shave Gary. You have a beautiful set up.

 

Thank you Joe.

Look at that razor. Yowzah!

 

Welcome

 

The Merry Mixed Up Month of May!

Soap - Blood on Steel 30DC Meet UP 2018 LE by Jeeves of Hudson Street
Brush - 30DC LE by @jtspartan with Tuxedo knot
Post - Alum

And a good evening! Yep, I'm a bit early but my day went that day which is fine. Gave me time to come home and get a shave before hitting the camera on the Zoom Meet-Up tonight. Can't have the Czar looking like a bum now, can we. Well, more like a bum than usual anyway. I mean, I do have a reputation to uphold. Good, BAD or otherwise.

Another evening with the Aristocrat and Voskhod. The "detente" setup is still as smooth as day one and just as effective. I chose to use the original 2018 Blood on Steel meet up soap along with the first 30DC LE brush. Great combination and the lather and scent were both excellent, as always. Three passes and I'm near-BBS and that's good enough for tonight. I'm relaxed and glad to be able to sit back and enjoy the rest of the evening.

Saturday looms ahead along with the entire weekend. Hope you can all find something fun to do with it! Make it a great one!

thank you Joe.one of my favorites..

 

fine shave and pic Neal ,have a great weekend..

 

Wow, you shaved with it already! Yes, the electrical tape is very appropriate. Great work, Evan.

 

Another great result with that awesome razor, Joseph. The SOA is always nice as well.
Ya, that lather technique is a new one to me as well. Not my usual style.

 

That NEW SC is a beaut, Gary. Lovely pic as well. Have a great May long weekend, sir.

 

thank you Jason.,yourself as well..

 

I have that same knot, Tim. I harvested it from the same handle you have, and I do get effortless lathers with it. I do face-lather with it exclusively, though. It likes to be soaked and then firmly shaken out before loading from the puck or via a stick on the face for me.

 

Very nice, Joe. Love the two tone brush and the bowl as well- very cool hardware indeed.
