Beard Growth: 23 hrs



Went with a shavette shave this afternoon. Did three passes for my error-free near BBS shave. I went with the Pasteur's Pharmacy Githam The Bowery Boys Soap. I was given a sample when I went to their October 2023 Meetup. It's a nice barbershop scent and that's why I paired it with the Stirling Spice aftershave. I did this because I don't have the matching splash. Here's my lather:



Alum feedback was negligible. Finished the shave with my usual routine. Take care.

 

fine way to end the week gentlemen.

 

Thanks Joe.

 

Super Slim shave Chris. I was a staunch face latherer until my buddy down the road Joe @JACarbone piffed me samples. I have to watch our for him because he can be quite devious. Lol!

 

Thanks Gary.

(Face & Head Shave)

A new eclectic shave set up to start the Weekend.

Another flawless combined face and head shave with the Ming Shi 2000s /Dorco Prime Platinum duo.

The Ach Brito Mogno never fails to provide a wonderful slick protective lather with a great scent with & beyond the shave. The post shave from the soap is superb making my mature rhino skin type feel moisturised & hydrated.
The classic Davidoff Cool Water ASL is always a joy to use. It has to be one of my all time favourite fragrance which I've liked since the 90's when I first purchased some. IMHO it's the best Davidoff Cool Water fragrance.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

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

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

DE Shave # 529

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: Yaqi Traveler
Blade: Suneko Amorphous Diamond SS
Brush: Ever Ready 200T
Lather: Stache Soap Works E Barber
Aftershave: Floïd Genuine Vigoroso

I am enjoying using the shave soap. The Stache Soapworks E Barber was the first tub I picked up when I went down this rabbit hole of wetshaving earnest I. 2017. I proceed to pick up this shave stick tub and promptly loaded some of the soap. The tub has long since met the Edmund Fitzgerald. Unfortunately, Stache Soapworks no longer produces any products.

Another fabulous three pass shave that resulted in an error free shave. Super closeness which the missus gravely appreciates. I am ready for another fun filled day in the sun.

Hope you all have a great day.

 

I prefer bowl lathering as well although I did have three great face lathering shaves this week as a result of using a shave stick. Great shave Chris.

 

Well done Joe.

 

I blame myself!
