Thursday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
LaToja Shaving Stick
Tom's B400 Two-band Badger
TAR by Tom
Gillette Silver Blue
CWR
Florida Water

The LaToja Shaving Stick Shave Soap lathered well with Tom's B400 Two-band Badger. Two passes and touch ups with the TAR by Tom razor with a Gillette Silver Blue blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I have been enjoying Hotel Cecil this week and it is good stuff. I don’t know if it is because I am recovering from Covid or if it is the products but the scent seems somewhat mild.

razor: gillette plastic tech
Blade : 7 oclock
Brush: paa 400
Soap: vetiver
Post: stirling vetiver witch hazel

Killer shave this morning. Vetiver is of my favorite scents. I love me some mystic waters and this stirling witch hazel. I ran out of soap a couple of years ago, but i just found this small amount in a sample jar.. maybe subconsciously i stored some of it away ? Either way the razor shave nicely and shaves different than the metal ones. It has a crisp cut to it. Hard to explain but i dig it.

That is something else.

 

Thank you gentlemen!

 

Nice decal...

 

Looking at today's posts I see that Derby was a popular choice. Their must have been something in the air because Derby was my blade pick for today. Of all blades I've tried I like this brand the least but having said that the shave I had today was excellent.
