    Days growth =1

    Prep = HOT WATER soak
    Preshave = none
    Cream = TOBS Jermyn Street, finally finished this cream, phew
    Brush = The Vulfix Old Original
    Bowl = face lathering
    Razor = Adjustable Gillette I4 slim
    Blade = Shark Superior Chrome (1)
    Passes = 2 +
    Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayers,
    ASL = Pinaud Lime Sec, very mild scent
    Scent = Bulgari Wood Essence
    Score = 9 +

    Damage = 0

    Thoughts = fine shave, maybe the small little Vulfix doesn’t quite hold enough lather for 3 passes

    Getting the hang of this face lathering lark, but much prefer using my bowls

    Hope you all have a great Friday and weekend ahead

    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.

    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!

    Greetings,

    (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.:cool:

    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.
