Greetings

Early morning face & head shave.

First time bowl lathering the The Eco Warrior soap bar which provided a wonderful slick protective lather in a short space of time I normally rub the bar directly into my stubble like a shave stick, then build up a lather with a damp, not wet brush adding water to the tips of the brush to get the lather to the consistency that I prefer. The shaving bar creates a more creamier lather using a synthetic brush, than it does using a boar brush.

Another comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Men Sensitive ASB.

My face is feeling cool smooth, & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

 

Looks great Barry and I like the lemon colonya…

 

Good to see your post, Paul. Hope you are well.
BTW, I am into straight razors because of your generosity.

I saw a lot of Lime Sec being used this week and it got me in the mood for it as well. Very nice scent….

Did a second shave on the GSB yesterday and loaded in a fresh Lab Blue this morning. Just to push the limits on how my face is handling all this shaving, I did a full, 3 pass shave for the first time in a while. Man, is my face smooth! All BBS, and besides a bit more alum feedback, all went well.

Prepping myself for one more move up the aggressiveness ladder to finish off the month, but going to enjoy the Fatip for a few more shaves first…

Consecutive days shaving- 24
Current skin issues or irritation- None so far

Have a great day gentlemen!

 

Thank you Scott...Turkish cologne is a firm favourite of mine...

 

+ 1 on the Fatip Grande.I'll have to give mine a run out..A possible Fatip February focus for me.

 

Thanks Gary

 

Wonderful shaves gear and pic, Barry.

 

Terrific shave and setup Scott. Of course, you can't go wrong with that Pinaud-Clubman aftershave.

 

Thank you Joe.

 

Thank you Joe! I still smell great….

Comments = Best shave ever. 40 Swirls from the puck with 7 cc water = excellent lather, very mild scent to my nose. This brush really suits my lathering style. Nacet (1) did the job nicely. DFS all over plus BBS mostly everywhere else

Super Tuesday to one and all

 

Not as good a shave as yesterday, but for just one reason-a Knick on Cactus Nation(neck, right side). Elsewhere very good. he Jayaruh came through for me except in that Knick area. I just blew the technique. I've been going so well lately I was stunned to see that Knick. Two passes, with that wonderful WTX soap from Hub City Soap Co.

About February focuses, I still haven't decided on a Fine February-may be a gametime decision.
