Friday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap
Jayaruh #414 silvertip
Gillette Techmatic
Techmatic Band
CWR
Pinaud Clubman Vanilla

The Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #414 silvertip brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Techmatic razor with a Techmatic Band blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman Vanilla AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Veeery exhaustive: thank you Gus!

I am often skeptical about little known brands with vegetable soaps. Do not know why.
And you seem not too enthusiastic about their normal production...

Nice to see you and nice shave.

Enjoy your day.

Welcome back! Don't be a stranger. Come back to the 30DC thread.

waterlyptus seems like a perfect fragrance for the heat we have had lately. Combined with my Karve c and home made brush, I have a near perfect shave. Some witch hazel and clubman finish off the start of my day.

I am always on the lookout for backups myself. I use the PAA Cube pre-shave soap so that I can "load light" on the Deal Maker soap. The PAA pre-shave soap can power a shave all by itself, so I can control how much of the rare Deal Maker soap I use. That's one of the main uses I found for the PAA Cube.

Can it be that RazoRock's best performing soap is also it's least expensive? All of them are fine performers at reasonable prices, but Amici really stands out IMHO.

Soap: Italian Barber Amici
Brush: Omega 10065 synthetic
Razor: RazoRock German 37 slant
Blade: Astra SP (6)
Aftershave: Italian Barber Amici

A simple easy shave today. Used my custom brush I designed and got more than enough lather in my Custom Scuttle I made after Chris was nice enough to send me an original prototype of his now famous moss scuttle that I haven't stopped staring at and honestly am afraid to use because of the history of it..
I will work up the nerve at some point to use the scuttle from Chris but for now I'm using this one that cost me a whole .75 cents..Since I was being lazy and hadn't shaved in a week these blades sliced through the week worth of stubble I had..

Thank you, gentlemen.
