Early morning shave, afternoon post. A super smooth shave, excellent post shave feel. Three passes with one weeper.

Beautiful morning for outside chores. This afternoon, I will be getting the living room ready for the Christmas tree. This will make the Mrs. happy. It is her favorite holiday. Have a great day gentlemen

 

I understand completely. I have that, "This isn't going to beat me" feeling as I work the same issue over and over, but get more and more frustrated with every iteration. That attitude gets stuff done, but finds ways to improve. Have a great day Patrick!

 

even the water is hard in NY....hard is sometimes used as a brit slang term meaning tough..

 

Great informative post Evan. Awesomeness.

 

thank you Jeff,i agree.the captain's choice copper bowl i use is quite textured,it helps my lathers a bunch..

 

Great shave and MWF lathering algorithm presentation, Evan! You’re spot on about about what we think we do and what we actually do are different. Enjoyed your summary! Have a great day!.

 

fine sunday shave Joe,good afternoon..

 

Hi Joe!! All is well here, just busy. Hope things are going good for you too!

 

Great shave Joe! Have fun with the honey do list.

 

Sunday's Shave

'56 Gillette Red Tip
Personna Platinum Chrome (4)
WCS Beacon Synthetic
Proraso Red Shaving Soap
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Proraso Red Aftershave

After showering, I realized I had not picked out my shaving gear beforehand as I usually do. So, I grabbed what was on the counter - Proraso Red. It was my first matching soap/aftershave set that I owned and it's still a favorite. Since learning about proper lather hydration, I find that I enjoy some of my older soaps even more than I did back then. The shaves are now better and my face thanks me for it.

2 passes with the Red Tip provided a very comfortable and efficient shave this morning. My face feels smooth and irritation free.

 

Thanks, Danny! My grandson will keep me warm. He’s an active little cuss!

 

I can do that some time after the holidays.

 

Solid shave Andrew! Love the gear.

 

Despite the weep, very good shave my friend!

 

thank you Danny..loved the shave and the razor..it's a fine piece and i am fortunate to have my aristocrat collection.very few working class folk in England had these when they were new..it makes them a little more special..

 

Great red-themed Red Tip shave, Andrew!

 

Ah, ok. I thought I read that you contacted Peter about unscented soaps in the Kaizen base. Somehow I remembered that he made this one a little while back, and thought of you. It's not Kaizen base, however I'm certain it performs well. Nothing wrong with sticking to good ol' MWF though.
I'm just reading through the thread (the best I can), so I'm not really back, per se. I'll try to keep up a little better and maybe even post a shave sometime. Although I can't keep up here, I still get a shave in each day. Hope things are well for you, Jeff!

 

Nice Christmas color scheme and excellent shave Andrew!
