    Focused and hit one pass for the smooth. Other than that... all is quiet in Alabama.


    Be well.

    No problem. I needed a little teasing considering what I will be facing the next couple of days.

    If you were still on this side of the pond, I'm sure you'd hear it more often! ;):cool:

    Great shave! I do love citrus scents... TOBS Lemon & Lime is a favourite, though I haven't tried Razorock Lime!

    The much-lauded 'Grail Shave'. Great razor choice. Questionable soap choice (especially when I know you have Arko over there)...

    Very nice job to finish out the Sheep/Bill Neumann combo(for now, that is....there's a lot to go before flipping both products). 0:40 to load the Sheep onto the "No-Name" brush. Good work setting up the shave, lifting my glasses to get the sideburn areas. Solid "Y" action down at Cactus Nation(this area was first called "Y Nation", then I changed it to "Cactus", as afterall it looked like one) all this coming from the advice of @wristwatchb . 2 healthy passes-no Knicks/cuts. I'd say Doc Ezlovan prepared his soaps in the anticipation that you won't get any Knicks/Cuts if you shave properly. Outta This World Excellent.

    Hembree Not as pretty smelling

    Unknown maker made in Germany razor head on Anticor silver plated handle.
    Voskhod blade (fresh)
    Simpson T3 Trafalgar brush
    Soap Commander Fortitude shave soap.
    Royal Copenhagen cologne

    The T3 whipped up the Fortitude in no time flat this morning. I'm trying out a silicone collapsible dog bowl for a travel bowl and I'll make another post about that.

    I cannot remember where or when I acquired this German razor head but man does it does a great job with the Russian steel. The Anticor handle is a little slim but it is doable. Three very nice smooth passes.

    A little witch hazel and some Royal Copenhagen and this Wednesday open comb shave is in the bag.

    Take care everyone.

    Dog bowl for traveling.

    Stirling Soap sells these but I bought a set of four off of Amazon for $10.00. Two of the bowls are smooth on the bottom and two have the nubs in the bottom.

    They are about 5 inches in overall diameter and about a half of an inch thick when folded.

    The smooth bottom ones are hard to whip up the lather in but the ones with the nubs will generate some great lather and quick. I just wish the nubs were a little shorter. The smooth bottom ones will be great to take along also to soak your brush in. Packing two for a trip will not take up much room in the dopp bag.

    Hope y'all found this interesting and helpfull.

    I thought the nubs would make it hard for lathering, too,.

    PAA Prismatic/Twin Treet Falcon, Proraso. The stock Prismatic plate is a milder shave than my swaps but it's fabulously smooth with the twin Falcons and embarrasses an Aristocrat (or pick your favorite smoothie) with its efficiency. Second pass with fresh BIC about as smooth, no stubble prisoners. Two Feathers did not feel as right. In this configuration the Prismatic is right up there with the Vib'Raz and Shake Sharp in the smiles per pass contest.[​IMG]
