Greetings,

(Face & Head shave)

Spring Equinox, First day of spring 2024.

It's been some time since I last done a combined face & head shave shave with the Parker Variant, and forgot how smooth & efficient it is for head shaving. The Treet platinum is a good match for it too, making another great duo. I've been on a roll with the Treet blades they have provided me with constantly close comfortable shaves.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Boots Cucumber Moisturising Lotion.

My face & precious swede are feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy the Spring Equinox ladies & gentlemen.

 

Thanks for the info John.

 

Great pic and shave John.

 

Awesome pic, setup and shave Barry. Enjoy the first day of Spring.

 

Thank you Joe.

 

Another great one this morning, with the Crown King brush the only new item from yesterday. I did 2 loads of the soap for the first pass-one for the second. Clean and clear most everywhere but for a tiny spot on North Porcupine, just under the nostrils. No pain, but it was wiped off by the cold-water rinse and skin-food strength of Bill Neumann A.S. Very pleased. Super Duper Outstanding.

 

I have Mike's coming up soon.

Good afternoon.

Shavette Shave #536
Dovo
Personna Hairshaper Blade (2)
JR #290 Cashmere Brush
Van der Hagen SS and bits of others
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS
Stirling Alum Block
Beard Growth: 22 hrs.



I went with my tried and true Dovo shavette.
It's my 2nd use of the Personna Hairshaper Blade and one must bring their A game to use it. It's very sharp and unforgiving. It was another three pass error-free shave. It was a very smooth and comfortable shave. The alum did sing a little on my neck and that was it. Splashed on the Aqua Velva Ice Blue aftershave and I feel clean and refreshed. Take care.

 

i gave mine away.nice stuff but the scent i had was boring..

SE Shave # 374 - DECLARATION GROOMING MICROMATIC MONDAY - Trismegistus

Blade: Schick Pro-line B-20
Brush: Epsilon Horse Hair
Pre-Shave: Pears Transparent Soap
Lather: Declaration Grooming Trismegistus
Aftershave: Stirling Arkadia
Additional Care:
Omega Alum
Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel
Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm

Interesting shave this morning. I decided to give an injector blade a go with the MMOC as per Joe’s suggestion, @Trigger. The resulting shave was just as close with this blade as with the GEM stainless. That being said, will I opt to using this set up in the future? No. I have 3 more tucks of 10 GEM blades in the Northern den. Given that I use the GEMs for a minimum of 10 shaves that would represent at least 300 more shaves before I run out.

Fabulous Tuesday morning shave with the Stiri g Spice/B & M Reserve Spice combination. This scent definitely take me back many years.

Super smooth shave courtesy of the W & B straight razor. Three error free passes to shave Nirvana.

Cool weather today but I managed to enjoy an hour walk around the neighborhood. Not bad for the last day of Winter/first t day of Spring.

Hope you all had an enjoyable day.

 

I have yet to try the Tuscan Oud. I believe the resident Porcupine has used it in the past. Perhaps I will pick up a tub in time for my trip next summer to Rome-Malta- Tuscany.

 

Excellent shave Gary.

 

Thanks Joe

 

Yowzah shave! Way to go Uncle Fester.

 

thank you Joe.

 

Awesome shave Gary.
