    I listed ny Father's Day Shave on the "Sunday Shaves" thread. I had that Ukraine soap out again("Old Chap Art"). Very nice soap, with little scent. I'd liken it to Mike's Nattural Unscented, and Stoylin Sheep Unscented, in that it's a powerhouse soap. 0:40 at the Loading Dock-gives great lather onto the brush. Zero cuts, Polka-Dots, one Knick(NW corner of South Porcupine-the chin). Yardley for the aftershave, and Halston for the finishing cologne. Yardley has a bit of a cool sense to it, best for spring and any summer day where there is no humidity(course that's a tough bet here in metro Boston.). Most Outstanding. A happy Father's Day to the Dads out there.

    Good morning.

    Shavette Shave #556
    Parker SRS
    Derby Pro 1/2 DE Blade (4)
    Hembree/Maggard Brush

    Stirling Alum Block

    I went with the Parker Stainless Steel version. Of course, it's heavier than my plastic scale version so that I let the razor do all the work.
    I picked the Soap Commander Vision sample SS because the scent isn't overpowering and it compliments the Aqua Velva aftershave and lathers well. Lately, I have been overhydrating my lathers to the point of a transparent lather because I wanted to see if the slickness remains for shaving well. This soap did well. Here's my lather:

    20240617_094802.jpg

    I only did 2 passes so I got less than a BBS shave, but that's fine with me today. The great thing is that there wasn't any blood loss.
    The alum was silent. Splashed on the witch hazel and aftershave and I am ready for the day. Take care.

    Fine shave this morning. The Barbasol is definitely coming out like a cloud now....I like it that way. Course Rise was ALWAYS like a cloud, whether at the beginning or the end of a can. Clean and clear all over, except I had to work extra at NW Porcupine Alley again. What is it with that right side, anyway? Goose eggs on cuts, Knicks, Polka-dots. One pass. Boy that Osage Rub A.S. felt niiiice. Add that to my "I Must Always Have This" list of shave products. No cologne today. Super Duper Outstanding.

    Good morning.

    GEM MMOC
    Schick Injector Blade (4)
    MrEE Tuxedo Brush
    Soap Commander Honor SS
    Pinaud-Clubman Classic AS
    Stirling Alum Block
    Personal Care Witch Hazel
    Beard Growth: 24 hrs

    20240618_095926.jpg

    I haven't used this razor in a couple of months so it got the call today. This razor and the SC Honor soap sanple was given to me by Joe @JACarbone awhile back. Thanks Joe. The razor takes GEM and similar SE blades, but I discovered that I can use a Schick Injector blade.
    I did an errorless 3 pass shave that gave mea BBS result. It would be just shy of passing the cotton ball test. However, did get some serious alum feedback on my neck. Surprisingly, there wasn't any evidence of irritation. Go figure.

    The Soap Commander soaps always gives a creamy, slick lather and I find that those qualities help make a marvelous shave. Here's my lather:

    20240618_100327.jpg

    As you can see, I made enough lather for 3 passes with very little soap. Check out the first pic.
    I finished with the witch hazel and the Pinaud-Clubman Classic aftershave. I definitely enjoyed this shave despite the alum feedback. Take care.
