Thank you Jim!

 

Welcome back Marine. The first thing my eyes were drawn too when I looked at your setup was the shave brush. Really like the lines on this one.

Thank you Jim

As always Jim, your shave & photography is stunning. I've heard good things about the Pearl Flexi. How does it rank to other adjustables you have?

 

A new edge from @gssixgun has my prized smiling Ragg performing a notch above. It came with a nearly new edge from a well known custom razor maker but it was only a good shave - not a memorable one. New game now, looks and performance now in line

Razor: IDK german
Blade: 7 oclock black
Brush: everready synthetic
Soap: old spice
Post: lavender witch hazel
A/S : old spice

In another forum a member mentioned he doesnt get a good lather out of old spice and i suggested he load his face directly as a shave stick. That reminded me i made a shave stick out of a puck and decided to pull it out and use it. The razor i dont remember what it is and barely remember that i may have gotten it from Tom? Either way its a good shaver and wish i can get it replated or coated.. im a cheap bastard so its not gonna happen any time soon. Lol great shave bbs smooth and smellin spicy

The logo on the brush is disconcerting: I do not know what that represents, but... did you buy that brush in a porno shop?
Are you sure it's legal?

 

2021-04-18, Sunday

I shaved in the dark of night. Outside I mean: in the bathroom I had turned on the light.

I was on a cologne day: the choice was between TOBS and T&H No.10: they are very similar, but there is a difference.
And I chose the TOBS.
A full-bodied lather allowed the blade to glide excellently and give me smooth, toned skin.

I am now smooth. Sleepy, but smooth.

Pretty much the same as last night... Just swapped out the aftershave to probably my favorite of all time. I’m smooth and smell great for bed.

Happy Healthy Shaves all.
