    DE Shave # 348

    Rating: 5 / 5

    Razor: Merkur 37c Slant
    Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
    Brush: Ever Ready 200T
    Lather: Catie’s Bubbles Vintage
    Aftershave: Catie’s Bubbles Vintage
    Additional Care:
    Stirling Alum Block
    Stirling Tea Tree Witch Hazel
    Nivea Cool Balm

    Wonderful pre-Fourth shave. Very nice lather to provide slick cushion for the Merkur 37c to do its thing. I always receive a super close shave with this razor.

    A cool weather day for the beginning of summer along with two consecutive days of rain. Hope your BBQ’s are going well with a tremendous amount of deliciousness served. Have a great day gentlemen.

    Good afternoon gents!

    Straight Razor Shave #282
    5/8 Dovo Special Rd Pt
    JR #386 Silvertip Brush
    Stirling 2019 LE Blood on Steel 30 DC Crew SS and AS
    Maggard's Alum Block
    Dickinson's WH
    Whiskers: 31 hrs

    It's rainy and cloudy on LI and I decided to cheer myself up with a nice shave. I picked out my best brush, the JR #386, to make a nice lather with this great Stirling scent. It has that cologne scent that just makes me feel good. I chose the Dovo Special because I have not used it in quite awhile. Prior to today's shave, I have only used it 14 times in the past 2 years almost to the day. It is an excellent and pretty razor, but I guess that I have forgotten about it. I will try to use it more often because it was my very first straight razor. Anyway, it took care of my 31 hr whiskers without any problems and there weren't any cuts, etc. The result was a near BBS shave with only two passes
    Finished in the usual manner ending with this nice aftershave. Have a great Sat. afternoon guys!

    Thanks Joe! Years ago, if someone told me that shaving can change your outlook, then I would of said that they were crazy.

    Late shave and shower today.

    Edwin Jagger DE89
    Astra SP (2)
    Yaqi badger brush
    Stirling Sharp Dressed Man soap and splash

    Tolgo @Glondus shaved with his DE89 yesterday and inspired me to drag mine out today.

    Stirling soap was on par this afternoon and is just hard to beat.

    The Jagger was great for three smooth passes. I had forgot how great of a shaver the old Jagger was. I love the handle on this one...I think it is called the Barley handle.

    Finished the shave off with the matching juice.

    I hope everyone is have a wonderful weekend.
