Thanks.

 

Sorry to hear that Joe, at least your father went cold turkey. Amazing that he could.

 

Another great setup, shave and write up Barry.

Going to get to 40 C today so we got the shrub pruning done early
Hot shower afterwards

Prep = hot shower, before my shave, would this work for me?
Soap = TOBS tobacco leaf. I can't smoke it, anyway at least I can shave with it!
Brush = Old Vulfix 1000A
Bowl = Timeless
Razor = Gillette New OC
Blade = Shark (2)
Passes = 2 +
Post = CWR, alum was alive all over, left over lather to the face, CWR, Thayers, PR Barbe Dure ASL
Scent = Bulgari Wood Essence
Damage = none, nice and smooth after 2nd pass, just a few touch ups needed

Score = 9 /10
Comments = The OC does need more care, even with this smoother blade. Didn’t want to push the boundaries in my tricky Zone 8.

Knowing when to stop is half the battle. No ATG needed anywhere, great finish and nice start to the mid-morning cup of tea

The TOBS is good, but not as slick as the Sterling soaps I have tried so far
The Vulfix is easier to rinse clean than denser brushes
The hot shower did no better as prep as my normal hot or cold water face soak for 30s x3, so not benefit there

Super Sunday to one and all

 

I lost my father and grandmother earlier than I should have due to smoking. Thankfully, the habit seems to be fading off as time goes by….

 

Great looking shave Chris and really nice photo today!

 

Terrific Turkish shave Barry.

 

Thanks Chris. My father was a tough man. After simultaneously having a stroke and a heart attack, he passed away 5 weeks later.

 

Thanks Scott

 

Wonderful pic and shave Chris. I like it hot, but 104° F is a bit much for me.

 

I am sorry Scott.

 

January 14 SOTM

Good morning.

Shavette Shave # 522
Dovo
Gillette Wilkinson Sword DE Blade (3)
Semogue OC Super Badger Brush
Music City Suds Lavender SS and AS
Stirling Alum Block
Modessa Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 41.5 hrs



Did a 3 pass error-free shave with a BBS result. There was a very slight alum feedback. Finished the shave in my usual manner. Take care.

 

Thank you Chris.

 

Thank you Joe.

 

SE Shave # 364

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: PAA Injector - Type L
Blade: Schick Pro-line B-20
Brush: RazoRock Plissoft “Beehive” 28mm
Pre-Shave: Pears Soap - Mint Extract
Lather: Denton Majik Seagoer
Aftershave: Denton Majik Seagoer
Additional Care:
Maggards Alum
Nivea Sensitive Balm
Thayer’s Witch Hazel - Original

My initial plan with the Seagoer software was to use a straight. I was curious to see if I would continue to get outstanding results with a diffeeent type of razor. Given my minor upper lip mishaps with the straight yesterday I did not want to take a straight or Shavette to the injured area. Hence, I opted for the injector.

My assessment of the Denton Majik soap has not changed. One of the best performers in either den. I will definitely pick up another of his creations in the distant future. The 2.5 ounce jar is perfect given the collection of soaps I have.

Once again, three passes to BBS. This stuff just work and leaves the face feeling amazing.

Have a get day gentlemen.

 

thank you Joe.

 

absolutely fabulous sunday shaves everyone.
