Greetings,

Another new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend...It's been some time since i last used the Pearlman Shaver's spirit soap which is a excellent shaving soap... It's very slick, protective with a fresh mild masculine "old Spice" fragrance to my nose which lingers throughout the shave and beyond creating a wonderful lather in a short space of time leaving a good post shave feel.

Another close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Sensitive ASB.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth cool and smelling divine.

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

27 hours growth
Prep = usual
Cream = TOBS Jermyn street collection
Brush = plissoft synthetic
Bowl = Timeless, bowl lathering for better control
Razor = Razorock lupo, Brass handle
Blade = Gillette Rubie (2) still nice and smooth
2 passes + touch ups
Was planning a 3rd pass, phone rang, after that I decided I didn’t need any more

All good despite the abbreviated shave
Post = Cold water rinse, Brut ASL, Proraso balm

My thoughts on the Razorock Lupo
• I like that there is no overhang of the blade tab, meaning that there are no worries about getting under the nose and the earlobes
• I like that the handle is solid, not hollow, so no water dripping out the bottom and down my forearms!
• I don’t like that the lather is difficult to rinse out between the blade and the baseplate, tends to clog up a bit
Still, I will keep this combo, it is a nice shaver

Have a great Saturday and Sunday!

Thanks Giuseppe.

 

Wonderful setup and shave Barry. Have a great afternoon.

 

Thank you Joe...Have a great day.

 

Terrific TOBS shave Chris. I have never used TOBS. With that said, is it possible that you didn't have enough hydration causing the clogging of the razor?

 

Great setup Pierpaolo.

 

Hi Joe. Thanks. Anything is possible, but my lather was almost runny esp on the 2nd pass. It should still be easy to rinse the razor in the basin or under running water, and usually is with my Merkurs or Gillettes. Still worth trying when using this with other soaps etc. Its still early days with this razor, but I do like it.

 

Excellent looking shave Pierpaolo

 

Super looking shave Chris

 

An fine eclectic shave Barry. You keep busting them out.

 

Shavette Shave # 205

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: RenRen Shavette
Blade: Perma-Sharp (1)
Brush: Ever Ready 200T
Lather: Stache Soap Works E Barber
Aftershave: Stirling Lemon Chill - Glacial
Additional Care:
Omega Alum
Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel

Excellent travel day shave. Last night Mother Nature decided to drop a monsoon on Fenway Park during the bottom of the 4th inning which eventually leading the game to be suspended until 2pm this afternoon. Unfortunately, due to dog care concerns we could not stay for the game. Otherwise we had a nice trip to Boston. It was nice to see my nephew. We forwarded to him the tickets so hopefully he is able to go today.

I did my usual three pass shave. The shave stick with the Stache Soap Works E Barber soap produced a nice slick lather. Most noticeable was the difference in face feel throughout the shave compared to yesterday’s shave with the Arko. Both are slick however I did not have any of the skin drying issue with the E Barber.

Hope you all have a great day.

 

absolutely fabulous saturday affairs gents.
