Travel day shave to my nephew’s graduation from Drexel in Philadelphia. Superb three pass shave has my face looking good for the festivities. Late post for sure with just a busy day behind me. The worst part was the 5 + hour trip from LI to Philly. Normally this trip would take about three hours.

On a side note, Happy Birthday to my paisan, Joe, @Trigger. 68 looks good on you my friend.

 

Happy Birthday Joe. Fantastic shave to celebrate your day.

 

Fine looking shave Gary

 

Wonderful shave Joe! I am sure you had a great time with your nephew's graduation. Glad you made I'd back safely. Thanks for the kind words.

 

Thanks Joe! I'm glad that I had some plans to make my day special. However, I am going to celebrate tomorrow with a friend and his wife at their place in Westbury.

Greetings,

A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend....Second outing of the Goodfellas Smile Abysso duo which is a real joy. The lathering performance and post shave feel from the soap is incredibly good. what more can I say.

Carrying on with the Chinese Gillette London Bridge which are another great match for both the 70's Gillette Tech & Kanzy K100. These blades feel comfortable sharp & smooth.

A close comfortable acceptable face and head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Cooling Gel.

My face & precious swede are feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

 

Ha ha, that's neat I will keep an eye on that thread and check out all the Techs. I only have two so don't have much to contribute there.

Hmm good idea, but as you said I will just leave to dry for a few hours and then place it back in its cover.

Very nice suggestion. Have seen a few of these for offer here down under with upside down ($$$$) prices and missing parts. All I would get is another (likely aluminium) Tech, a mirror and a shaving stick holder. Might be cheaper to look online in the UK sites I think. But yes, I have some more shaving sticks on order so I will keep an eye out for those.

 

yes sir.i have bought a few and built a set per se.sets that are missing parts usually sell for cheap.main objective? soap stick tubes..

Excellent Stiring shave this morning. The lather was slick but not overly thick which provided the perfect cushion to allow the injector razor to do its job effortlessly. The end results was everything I have come to expect from any of the Stirling products in my den.

Hope you all have a great day gentlemen.

 

Superb as always Barry. Enjoy your day.

 

Thank you Joe. Still in Philly until tomorrow.
Hope you have a nice day at your friends in Westbury.

 

Super Saturday shave my friend! Have a Super Saturday afternoon!

 

Terrific setup and shave Joe.

 

Thanks Joe.

I just love Angora Soaps Midnight Lavender.
Here's my lather:




Did a quick 2 pass shave for an error-free BBS result. Alum feedback was minimal. Splashed on the matching aftershave and I feel clean and refreshed. Take care.

 

Thank you Joe.

 

Most excellent Joe.
