Bust out the GLS today as I have an evening with the missus. Love this scent. The scent profile is as follows: “This scent is inspired by Gratiot's trade and features tobacco, leather, rose, clove, nutmeg, sandalwood, vetiver, vanilla, musk, bergamot, and amber.”

Superb shave. Extremely close courtesy of the Tuckmarr straight and the glorious GLS lather. Post shave finished this shave off nicely.

Have a great day gentlemen.

January 28 SOTE. SOTE

Good evening

Rockwell 6C
Rockwell DE Blade (3 and 4)
Barbury Synthetic Brush
Stirling Tsuka SS
Stirling 2019 LE Blood on Steel 30 DC AS
Stirling Alum Block
Beard Growth: 24 hrs
Dome Growth: 4 days



I am going to see a Christian band and a comedy team at a biker church so I wanted to do a head and face shave.
The Barbury brush has a firm backbone so that I really have to push a little harder to load the soap. This soap is trickier to load than the other Stirling options. It may be due to the essential Oils, but I found myself frequently dipping the tips in water to get a creamy lather while facelathering.

I have got to say that setting 4 is a sweet spot for my headshaves. I really don't have to worry about nicking my self and it always gives me a cueball smooth shave. Tonight was no exception. Three passes and touchups did the trick. There wasn't any leftover stubble on my head that it would pass the cotton ball test. My face shave was just as good with 2 passes. BBS smooth was the result. There were no cuts or irritation anywhere. The alum was mostly silent. Double-splashed the Blood on Steel aftershave to end this session. Before I head out, I will spritz some of the Tsuka EdT. Take care.

 

Thank you, joe.

Greetings,

A relaxing Sunday morning shave.

A very in-expensive eclectic shave set up where everything paired together wonderfully.

The RK Stainless felt super smooth & efficient on it's second outing....I may have mentioned before i find that some DE blades especially stainless & teflon coated ones start showing their true potential after a few shaves... This seems to be the case with the RK Stainless.

A enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups comfortable shave with no errors to report....Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh Moisturising Gel.

My face is feeling smooth & smelling divine.

Stay Safe, and enjoy your Sunday Ladies & Gentlemen.

 

Awesome Sunday shave Barry. Enjoy your afternoon.

 

Here was mine for today:

Prep-Dial 4 Men Bodywash
Shave-Gillette Foamy Original
Razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE
A.S. Russian Leather*

*Purchased from the TSD Store.

Quality Foamy shave-held under the warm tap water for a bit before opening. GF is mu second favorite goo option-second to Rise Superfoam. Well done everywhere(face&neck). Zero cuts, Knicks, polka-dots. One pass. The Russian brand of leather is slightly different smelling than English or U.S. Course it all began in Russia. Super Duper Outstanding.

 

Thank you, Joe. Enjoy your Sunday, and have great coming week.

 

awesome Paul.

SRS # 828 - Sample Sunday Shave


Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: Wade & Butcher 5/8 French Point
Brush: Classic Shaving Silver Blue
Lather: Hub City Red Cabin in the Woods
Aftershave: Declaration Grooming/Chatillon Lux 1904
Additional Care:
Omega Alum
Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel
Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm

Very nice shave this morning. The W & B straight delivered a close and comfortable shave. I am continuing with the Sunday Sample shave as I am trying to reduce the number of samples in my den as well.

The use of the Crabtree and Evelyn scuttle slaloms me the opportunity to warm the soap prior to loading on the brush. The warm shave is nice but I have come to prefer my iced water shaves.

Getti g ready to head out to dinner with the missus, kids, my mother and brother for a nice birthday dinner.. Yes, this will conclude the celebrations until next year.

Have a great day gentlemen.
