Greetings,

An excellent shave to finish my shaving month off wonderfully...Throughout the month the Lord Silver Star super stainless blade have been superb, becoming a firm favourite again after the long hiatus from not adding them to my regular DE blade rotation.

It's been a while since I last used the Omega shaving cream and forgot how much easy it is to create a slick protective lather, with a good kick from the Eucalyptus oil to give my ageing face sensors a vibrant winter morning wakeup call!

A comfortable 2 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave to finish the month off wonderfully.

Finishing the shave off with a generous squirts of P&G Old Spice Bearglove A/S Spray.

My face is feeling cool smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Great write up, setup, shave and post Barry. You have an interesting array of stuff! Have a lovely day

Lovely. Get well soon Joe.

30 Nov 2023 (No Repeat November)

48 hours



Prep = HOT Water Prep 3x 30 second soaks
Preshave = Tabac in a tube as Pre shave. The goal is to finish this by the end of the year
Cream = TOBS Tobacco Leaf
Brush = The Vulfix Old Original 20 mm
Bowl = Cheap deep white plastic bowl
Razor = Gillette Red Tip B4 replated
Blade = Feather (2)
Passes = 3 +
Post = CWR, Alum, CWR, Thayers. Liberal lashings of Sterling Bay Rum
Scent = Guerlain pour homme
Damage = none

Score = 9.8 / 10 Successful pleasant shave, super smooth all over. The tobacco, Bay Rum and Guerlain combine really well

Comments = Hmm, I like my cold water shaves because they reduce the blood flow to the face, so if there is a nick there is less of the red stuff. Also the theory is there is less facial swelling making for a smoother shave. I will have to investigate this further. But today in the spirit of No Repeat November I switched out and used hot water. This probably contributed to softening of the beard and the great result, so I may want to revisit this going forward. Anyway I continued to use cold water between passes and for the clean up. Feather was still great on day 2, esp combined with the well hydrated and superb TOBS Tobacco Leaf. Almost makes we want to try cigars again (no thanks). Lovely stuff. If I was only allowed one brand of soap/croap then TOBS would definitely be on the short list. 8 hours later I can still smell the Tobacco Leaf!

Have a great Thursday one and all

Eureka!
Let’s see this consistently, thank you

Thank you Chris

That is one outstanding shave Chris. Fabulous picture as well.

Ah the student giving the teacher a homework assignment. Very nice shave Troy.

Wonderful cold weather shave Barry.

Cool, thanks Paul, nice info there.

Thank you Joe.

Thank you Chris...Keep the cold water shaves in your routine, they are a tonic to your skin!..My array of stuff is very eclectic which works well for me.

Since you been on this thread, I will say that is your best shave thus far, Chris. I am a cold water shaver all year round. Personally, I find it helps prevent irritation and it's quite refreshing.

I believe in miracles.

Wonderful shave, pic and post Barry! Btw, people like us over 60 are blessed with life experiences. Enjoy your afternoon my fellow over 60 friend from across the pond.

Thank you Joe...Have a wonderful end of the month day.
