Gary.

Awesome shave and great breakfast this morning.

Thank you Joe.

Very nice Jeff. Today, I used my GE Jones Shakesharp for my headshave with Cremo at the gym. It really is a great shaver.

Wonderful citrus shave Gary.

Thanks my gainfully employed Canadian brother from another mother.

Thank you Gary.

Great shave in the books Gary.

Thanks Joe. We both had great shaves this morning. Always a nice time when we meet. Time just flies.

thank you Joe.

thank you Joe.

Star Blade Focus (shaves 4,5)

Razor: Yates 921M/H
Blade: Sharp Star
Brush: WCS synthetic
Soap: Captain's Choice Italia
A/S: Skin Bracer

Loss of efficiency in the blade tonight, and consequently decrease in comfort level. Not at all uncomfortable, but a noticeable loss.

Nice setup Eric. Personally, I been there and done that too. If the blade is at that point during a shave, then I would just replace it with a fresh blade. I just don't want to ruin my good looks. Lol!

Very nice shave Eric

i am new to wet shaving (since jan 2021), and today i had my best shave so far

it is a sunny but cold weather here in Istanbul. i wanted something fresh, so i used Stirling Ozark Mountain. I am still experimenting with my Yaqi Butterscotch, so it was my brush of the day. My go-to daily combination is DE89 + Rapira. I noticed that yaqi is really nice and easy for face lather. As aftershave i only used Alum Block and Arko Sensitive as i didnt want the smell of Ozark Mountain to be masked.

i normally do 1pass with the grain, and 2passes cross the grain. but todays lather was so good that i could do against the grain on 3rd pass. my skin is so soft that i keep touching it, it is smoother than a baby butt i am pretty sure

have a nice day everyone, spring is coming

Congrats on your best shave ever in your wetshaving journey Tolga! I don't own a Yaqi brush, but I have heard they perform well. I am an Arko fan and use it for headshaving because it is very slick. Enjoy your afternoon.

Good morning!



Shavette Shave #338
Dovo Shavette
Personna Hairshaper Blade (16)
Heritage Collection C-Mon Replica SHD Badger
Proraso Green SS and AS
Maggard's Alum Block
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 26 hrs

I decided to have a menthol shave with Proraso. I am near the bottom of the tub and it seems to me that there was more ooling effect from the menthol because my water was very cold. I am not complaining because I love it. LOL! My C-MON brush made a nice, slick lather and my Dovo glided easily on my skin. I did 2.5 passes for a close and comfortable shave. I was doing more buffing than usual, especially on my neck so I retired the blade after I finished shaving. I probably could have gone a shave or two more but I didn't want to chance it. I may change to a 1/2 Feather DE Blade. I have used a Feather in my shavettes so it shouldn't be a problem.

The alum gave me some feedback on my neck which didn't surprise me because of the extra buffing with a not so sharp blade. Topped the shave with witch hazel and the matching aftershave. Have a nice day gentlemen.
