Same as yesterday, easy repeat shave

(Days growth = 1

Prep = 3 x cold water soak
Preshave = TOBS Jermyn street massage
Soap = Sterling Margaritas in the Arctic
Brush = Omega 10049
Bowl = Timeless
Razor = Merkur 37C
Blade = Gillette Platinum (2)
Passes = 2 +
Multidirectional strokes in each area during each pass
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, CWR, Thayers)

Only difference was the ASL = Clubman Pinaud
Damage = none

Another nice shave
Once again I used the TOBS Jermyn street cream as a preshave, simply left it in place and lathered straight over it. Nice

This 37C is good on the flats and convex areas, not quite gripping in to the stubble in the hollow bits, but still nice and safe, esp left handed back of the neck

Have a great Thursday gentlemen

7th March 2024.

Greetings,

Early morning shave,

A wonderful shave to finish my shaving week.

A comfortable 2 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

I’m so glad that I've revisited the Treet dura sharp carbon blades instead of reaching for my usual suspects, they have worked really well with all the razors I've paired them together with so far.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of L'0REAL Barber Club Reinforcing ASB.

My face is feeling cool smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Thank you Joe.

Very nice 37c shave Chris.

Excellent Proraso shave with a Brut finish Barry. Smelling good today.

Thank you Joe.

Good morning.

Shavette Shave #533
Parker SRB
Suneko 1/2 Blade (2)
JR #290 Cashmere Brush
Stirling Spice SS, AS and EdT
Stirling Alum Block
Modessa Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 40 hrs

Did a 3 pass shave, but I could have stopped at one pass. The Suneko blades are sharp! Lol! I was a little more measured with my strokes to say the least. I felt a scratch on my cheek because I slightly set the razor askew, so I hit it with the alum before any potential blood would surface. There was nothing that was revealed. That's a good thing. Lol!



I went with the Stirling Spice because I haven't used it in awhile. I just love everything about this soap. Here's my lather.



I only had slight alum feedback on my neck.
Finished this shave like I always do, bit topped it off with the EdT. Take care.

great set up Joe...The Suneko blades sound very tempting, but I seriously don't need anymore DE blades for my next two lives.!

Excellent shave, pic and setup Chris.

Beautiful pic, setup and shave Barry.

Thanks Barry. These blades are just shy of being Feather sharp, but much more smoother.

Well, MUCH better on this Throwback Thursday than yesterday. I had a good amount of the Proroaso Foam all over, especially where the cuts happened yesterday. Thankfully, I didn't do any further damage there. Nice work on the cheeks&sideburns, as well as both ends of Porcupine. Ditto Cactus. Very nice scent from the Proroaso Barbe Dure A.S. I decided to flip the Wet The Face Bay Rum soap,but I will purchase another in the fall. Great soap, but it's been giving me fits of late. I think I do better with a little more soap&a little less water. Anyway....As Outstanding As It Gets.

Terrific TOBS shave Gary.

Thanks Gary

Thank you Gary.

Thank you Joe.
