good day gents
#12th outing for the personna 74,
nice shave,but a bit of warmth after the fact.
could this be the beginning of the end?
the dg soap can be a bit tricky sometimes,low structure also.
when it looks good it feels over watered.almost dissipates.
not so keen on the splash,sticky for a bit.
post shave is nice
awesome
have a fine sunday everyone.

A winner of a shave this morning. 2 passes. Zero cuts, Knicks, pol ka-dots. Clean, clear, fresh smelling (course the latter is due in part to the aftershave). I did another Niagra with said aftershave. That pour spout is larger than that of Aqua Velva. But that didn't affect the shave itself. Much better down at Cactus. Very pleased. Outta This World Excellent.

 

Thank you, Gary.

 

Learn something new everyday.

 

Fabulous economically sound shave Joe.

 

Nice shave. Put a finger partially over the hole when you pour. Niagara will diminish to a trickle.

 

Thank you Joe.

 

Cool looking design on the brush handle Barry. Very nice shave.

 

Very nice shave. Is that the Milksteak base for the soap? I have plenty of DG soaps, some with the earlier soap bases. I do have two with the Milksteak base. I seems to get very nice lathers with them. Could it be a water issue?

 

It's another winning shave for you Gary! Enjoy your day!

 

Thanks Joe.

Good afternoon.

Shavette Shave #429
Parker
Astra Blue 1/2 DE Blade (2nd use)
MrEE LE #10 Cashmere Brush
Razorock XX SS
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS
Beard Growth: 23 hrs



I am getting ready for church so a shavette shave is in order. Razorock soaps have always given me slick and creamy lathers and this afternoon was no exception.
Did a 2 pass shave with a minor touchup for a nice, smooth and comfortable shave without any errors. Had slight feedback from the alum on my neck, but I wasn't screaming in agony. Lol! Splashed on the Aqua Ice Blue to end this session. Take care.

 

SRS # 825 - Sample Soap Sunday Shave

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: Thiers-Issard Super Gnome Extra
Brush: CRD Patriotic Swirl 26 mm Synthetic
Lather: Hub City Red Cabin in the Woods
Aftershave: PAA Harvest Moon
Additional Care:
Omega Alum
Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel
Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm

Warm water shave with the assistance of the Crabtree & Evelyn Scuttle and Dirty Bird Pottery brush scuttle. Three warm passes with the TI has left my face ultra smooth. I probably have two more shaves with this soap sample. Hub City does provide a nice lather with a beautiful scent. It pairs nicely with the Harvest Moon aftershave.

I spent the morning preparing a nice dinner for some friends. Everyone enjoyed my culinary art talents.

Hope you all had an enjoyable Sunday.

 

Just fabulous Joe.
