Adjustable August

ETHOS Lavender Suprême~~Rubberset 400/3~~2011 Mühle R41/Polsilver~~Lavande 44 Rania J.
The minute I sold my ETHOS sets, I KNEW I would miss the Lavender. So much so,
that I repurchased a 4oz tub.
While I enjoyed the soap base on all three, it was the natural scent of the lavender that attracted me the most.
As you can see, the cream is soft.

In no time, I was able to manufacture one of the prettiest lathers in shavedom:

Very, VERY nice results from the R41/Polislver duo. I am going to give the blade another outing tomorrow
with a as-of-yet-unchosen razor.
Right before the spritzing of the Lavande 44, I called an audible and set down a
4-spray base of Dehn Al Oodh Malaki. This is a straight-oud juice, plain and simple.

17 Aug 2021

It was a bit hot for Tabac scent but i had to try my new funny mug

Tabac Soap
DE89 + Gillette Platinum + Proraso Prof Brush
Cold water w/face lather
Alum Block

This was my first time using Tabac Soap (i had shaving cream), as performance i couldn't see too much difference with Arko to be honest. I mean in Turkey i can buy Arko stick for 4 TL, and Tabac for 70 TL. Yes Arko dries the skin a little bit, but i like to use Arko during hot days and i have a oily skin so i like to feel dry in summer. Tabac scent is lovely, so after finishing this soap i will invest on Tabac balm for winter usage.

Happy shaves everyone.

 

Just saw a like from Charlie @wristwatchb on my post #1260 and expecting the zinger meme or gif in 3.................................2.................................1

 

Thanks, Joe!

 

Thanks, Joe! It is, but if it’s to remain a doer, it’s a trip to the stones!

 

To each his own, Joe! I’ll never use a DE-based shavette, just like you’ll never use a Feather Super!

 

Prednisone works fast, Dave! I speak from experience! It’ll make you quite hungry and may mess with your sleep, but it’s hands down the best treatment for PI.

 

Another extremely fragrant R41 shave for the record books!

 

Lovely FB shave, Angelo! Great kit!

 

Omaha! Very nice audible and shave Joe

 

You got that right. Thank you Jeff.

 

Very nice Tolga. Stay cool.

 

Excellent shave Angelo

 

Razorock Hawk open comb on the Weber Bulldig handle.
Feather Professional blade
Soap Commander Honor Shave soap.
Hembree Delrin handle with synthetic knot.
Royal Copenhagen cologne

Awesome shave this morning with a razor I have not used in a while. The Razorock Hawk delivered a smooth and efficient shave with no drama. Very little feed back from the Alum.

I hope everyone is having a great Tuesday.

 

Lovely Hawk shave, Danny! That Weber handle gave it some heft!

 

I enjoyed this morning's shave, as I learned a good lesson from it, which I'll get to later. The Barbasol Pacific Rush worked fine to set it up. I used a bit less than K normally do, thinking about those "Shaving Cream In A Tub" items I have. People have advised me to just do a small dab or two of those, and in fact I will be using one in a couple days. I think I'll have to use some more of it along the jawbone, as I didn't get all I needed along there. Course Barbasol isn't in a "tub", and I should take advantage of that. No cuts, no Knicks. One pass. And now for the lesson-Agadir A.S. IS ok in the hot weather. It does say "cools the skin, after all. Might try another "dose" before summer is gone. Very Excellent.

 

here's a fifth..

 

absolutely splendid tuesday endeavors gents..
