Looking good, Mark!

Thanks, Tim!
If I remember correctly the maker of the brush named it Sunrise Glow. The lower part of the handle actually glows in the dark. It was Jason @jtspartan that started calling it Lemondrop and it stuck.

thank you Jim..

 

Thanks, Jason

 

Den reduction? Whats that? mines starting to look like a stockroom lately.

 

Thanks, Joe! The Famex is a French Cage Head razor(1920s-1930s) which unlike the Le Coq was adjustable. Tightening or loosening the handle increases or decreases the efficiency of the shave.

 

Yes, in fact actually I dip the synthetic one frequently, it is not actually holding water. It's also a big knot which helps.

 

Thanks, Andrew; it never fails, although I need to pay attention as it can bite if my attention wanders.

 

Thanks, Tim! I enjoy shaving with it!

 

Thanks, Joe!

 

You’re welcome, Cliff! Glad you’re enjoying it!

 

This was my Wednesday shave I forgot to post last night.
Had to try the new Astra blues out and must say I was very impressed. Smoooth and sharp!
The Fine Platinum is a wonderful performing soap which lathered beautifully with the JR 241 gunslinger. If I only owned 1 DE I would pick the Rockwell 6c. Top knotch razor in my book. To complete this shave I added a splash of the Chatillion Lux Unconditional Surrender. That stuff was worth every penny!

 

Great looking shave, Patrick!

Excellent shave report, Joe!

 

Great shave, Patrick. Looks like you may have just one more use left in the soap.

 

Just the Basics June

Thursday's Shave

Eversharp Schick J1
Personna Blade
WCS Beacon Synthetic
Arko
Lucky Tiger Aftershave and Face Tonic

Yesterday's shave unfortunately resulted in some tenderness and razor rash later appearing on my lower neck. I attribute that to the XTG pass there with a brand new GEM PTFE blade and possibly too much pressure used with the mild Contour razor. Oh well. After tomorrow, the irritation will be gone, and fortunately no more ingrown hairs appeared.

Today's shave felt excellent with the trusty creamy lather from Arko and the mild J1 razor. 2.5 passes for a DFS+ result. I only went WTG twice on the lower neck area and the half pass was an additional clean up across the jawline (neck brace lather pass).
The Lucky Tiger feels so nice after a shave and was a product I bought early in my switch to traditional wet shaving. Great stuff.

 

fine shave and pic Andrew,good morning..

 

Thanks, Gary! Good morning.
