awesome Barry.

Nice, sophisticated goo shave this morning with Barbasol. I squeezed out enough from the can for 2 passes, but stuck with the one. In future shaves, I may experiment with varying the grain direction. I do that anyway on North Porcupine Alley(under the nose). Against on the edges, With down the middle. I could have done better up there this morning, but it can wait til tomorrow. Cheeks&sideburns fine. Ditto jawline. Cactus Nation was all right, but I could have done better. Perhaps too much focus around Ingrown Swamp to skip other sections. Th good news is No Cuts, No Knicks, No Polka-dots. Very Excellent.

Thanks Gary.

Terrific shave session Paul!

saturday
g-4 slim
platinum
semogue 830
taconic
chiseled face



good morning gents
trouble free 2 passer with the slim on #4..
nice weight and balance,smooth and efficient..but boring..
like a slant 6 dart or 60's sedan,gets the job done.
yes,many folks think a tech is like that also-pedestrian in manner,
but a tech takes a little more technique to achieve the result,without the racing stripes.
not a fan of the slim aesthetically,or it's longer handle.
same goes for most any gillette 1960 or up.
marks a time of ..cheaper

lovely taconic lather built with the solid semogue 830 boar
chiseled
face natural aftershave to finish.feel the burn..

awesome.
have a great day everyone.

Joe...Your right, the Muhle R41 is a get it done shaver..It's wonderful for head shaving.

Wonderful shave set up for the first shave of the month Joe.

Great Gillette shave Gary! I certainly understand why you think that way. I prefer my Fatboy over my Slim.

It really is a great razor for me.

Thanks Barry! I wanted to open the month in grand fashion.

Fine shaves, gentlemen!

Thanks Daniel.

Shave 17/30. I wasn't going to shave this weekend, but I just could not skip it. I did not shave the moustache area to avoid reopening the nick I had last time.
I shaved right after the sauna, which happens to be the best prep for me. It was a cold water shave, as usual, and everything went very well.

Have a great evening, gentlemen!

Excellent shave, pic and setup. Before I saw your post, I already picked my setup for tomorrow's shave. I will be using my Semogue Super Badger Brush.

Thank you Daniel.

Thank you Joe....I'm happy. I think I'll focus more on Cactus Nation tomorrow.

Thanks, Joe! Semogue makes some great brushes. Haven't tried a badger though, but I'm sure it's a fantastic brush!

thank you Joe.i've had a couple of fatboy razors and passed them on.i like the slim over the fatboy due to the slimmer head-under nose shaving-techs are the best for this imo.but having a trimmed goatee now deems that somewhat irrelevant. I still like a single purpose razor,coffee flavored coffee.etc.not a one razor fits all approach.. keeps the skill in check..

Gary, that shave tub looks like the new Clubman tub(which is brushless-you just dive in).
