June 2022 30 Day Rule/Focus and Discussion. All Are Welcome!

Watching your pressure is the key.

 

Yeah baby!

 

I found it VERY easy to lather. The "blooming" of the soap with HOT water helps a lot. I did not have to swirl the brush in the jar over my lather bowl for long before I had enuff to whip up. Less than a minute I had tons of lather. I always whip it again before re-applying for the next pass. Wonderful scent and lubrication.

 

Nice setup and shave! I am glad I am stocked up on MWF. I see it out of stock all over! Popular soap! One of my favs too.

 

I plan on using the same setup again tomorrow. That will be the end of this jar of TOBS Herbal Gel pre-shave.
LOVE the soap! And the brush!

 

citrus saturday

fine



good morning gents.
fabulous citrus shave today.
smooth 2 passer in the usual manner.
fine citrus lather...i did overwater it at first,
but a shot of Kiss My Face cream built a fabulously slick superlather.
sadly the matching splash smelled a bit funky so i ditched it.
fine citrus to the rescue,near identical scent to the soap.
i will load this soap directly from the puck from now on,
as it is quite hard,due to age.
i want to finish it up.
on to the next
awesome.

have a fine saturday everyone.

it may have gone under..or lacking raw materials..

Good morning.



Straight Shave #374
13/8 ArtRazor 1000 (24)
MrEE LE #10 Cashmere Brush
Music City Suds Lavender SS and AS
Maggard's Alum Block
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 40.5 hrs

Got a nice lather whipped up with the Evan brush. It really is a nice brush with a soft synthetic knot. It has always performed well for me.
The soap is so easy to make a slick lather and the dark lavender scent is just awesome.
It's been 5 weeks since I shaved with Artie
I had a nice 2.5. pass shave. There weren't any errors and it was a close shave. The alum gave some feedback. Finished the shave in my usual manner. Have a super Saturday.

 

I can imagine that the angle is very steep with that razor. Probably laying flat on your face. That is a BIG blade!

 

Great color scheme, pic, gear and shave Gary. I am surprised Mickey Dee's aftershave went bad. Usually, that doesn't happen with alcohol aftershaves.

 

awesome Artie shave Joe..love mr.ee's matching brush.

 

Thanks Gary. That brush really pops out and brings out the best in Artie's scakes.

 

thank you Joe.it may have been fine,but it always had a "funk"to it compared to the Fine a/s or my colonia sample.no longer "keeping "stuff i don't love.my house is full of "well ,i'd better keep it just in case" .in a Next mode these days.i forsee a whole bunch of hangers on being deep 6'd or passed along in the near future..

 

i remember when you built your Blue set.your treat for yourself.very cool.

 

it is nice soap.did you like the scent?.definitely different take on barbershop.the aftershave is fantastic.i have the natural/unscented also.great alternative to Fine aftershave..

 

It may be Citrus Saturday for you guys but, for Theo it's #Caturday
Bright eyed! And very frisky. I tried combing a bit more and he was grabbing at me and biting! Playful bites. Theo is a character.

 

"It isn't what it seems......at 17" (song lyrics)

 

I really like the scent and will buy again when this is gone
