Good afternoon

OK, I decided to use the same setup as yesterday's less than stellar shave. I believe in getting back on the horse asap. However, it might just be that I am crazy or a glutton for punishment. Lol! Evan's Brush delivered a nice, creamy and slick lather that I would expect from Stirling Soaps. Did a 2 pass shave without any errors. I even shaved over my wounds and they didn't open so it suggests that I am healing well. The alum provided me with very little feedback. I gave myself a double splash of the matching aftershave to finish this session. Today, I definitely won the rematch. Lol! Take care.

 

no sir..

 

fine rematch Joe.

 

Thanks Gary.

 

Thank you, Joe. My Christmas day was a good one.

 

Thank you, Joe. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas day too.

Greetings,

The vast majority of my shave set ups are very in-expensive, today proved to me that i can always get a good comfortable shave from shaving accessories that don't cost the earth.

The Parker Variant performed excellently paired together with the Super-Max BDT mowing through my stubble with effortless ease.

An enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

 

Thank you Barry. It was a great day.

DE Shave # 442 - 1508.5 Project - Prairie Song
DEcember Shave

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: PAA Prismatic
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
Brush: Ever Ready 200T
Lather: Lakewood Soap Company Prairie Song
Aftershave: Floid Genuine Vigoroso
Additional Care:
Omega Alum
This setup will be through Thursday shave with the interchanging of the razors between the Prismatic and the Ren Ren Shavette. Once again the LWSC lather provided a slick cushion for the blade to mow down this morning’s stubble. My face is smooth and refresh to meet the missus’ satisfaction.

I am off to another fun filled day in the Sun as the temperature will be slightly warmer than yesterday. I hope you all have an enjoyable day.

 

Very nice setup and shave Joe. Have fun in the Florida sun.

 

Really nice shave this morning. The only problem was in missing a section of the right side(just under the ear), but I just fixed that now. That being done, I can proudly say no negative issues anywhere. 2 passes. Clean and fresh-smelling all around. I should go on TV and do an ad for Dial 4 Men Bodywash, or Bill Neumann A.S. Or both .(course if I did both, they'd be different ads). Outta This World Excellent.

 

Thank you Joe

 

Ditto, Joe. Enjoy your day.
