Fabulous refreshing shave with the Proraso Green this morning. On point with the humid weather slated for the day. Three passes with the Dovo Shavette has my face smooth and velveteen.

Hope you all have had a great day gentlemen.

 

Thank you Chris.

 

Very nice

 

thank you Joe.

 

Very nice shave Chris.

 

thank you Joe.brush is functional,not the best looking,but now a bunch of useless bits do more than occupy space..

 

fine friday proraso shave Joe.does your soap tub say "super formula" on the lid.if it does this stuff is really slick..quite an upgrade from the last formulation.

 

Thanks Joe.

 

Wonderful shave Joe. I see what you meant when you replied to my post.

 

Gary, I zoomed in on the lid and it does say super formula.

 

thanks Joe.i first used proraso green soap in the tub some 6 years ago and quickly found the cream in the tube to be a better product.both the tub and tube products across the whole line(white blue green red) have been reformulated and are far better than before.imho..

 

Thx Joe. Could do with more water, or something

Thanks Joe

 

That's good to know Gary. Thanks.

 

August 2 SOTE Headshave

Good evening.

1959 Gillette Fatboy (9)
Voskhod DE Blade (2)
Hembree Delrin/Maggard Timberwolf Brush
PAA/King R. Emporium SS
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS
Stirling Alum Block
Personal Care Witch Hazel
Dome Turf: 3.25 days



Yeah, I know that I could have simultaneously done a face and head shave this morning, but I had a busy day so the headshave had to wait. Anyway, I went with the Fatboy Friday theme because this razor never fails me for dome shaves. This is my second use of the Voskhod blade and I could have stopped at pass #2, but I prefer a cueball smooth dome. Three passes without incident was the result.
I went with the PAA/King R Emporium soap because it's mild and produces a great, slick lather. Here's my lather:



Didn't have any alum feedback. Splashed on the witch hazel and that nice AQ Ice Blue aftershave to finish the shave and top off the evening. Take care.

 

One of the challenges of wetshaving is getting the right water/soap ratio to get a creamy, slick lather. Unfortunately, every soap has a different water/soap ratio and sometimes shavers forget what soap needs more water while others need a little less. It gets really out of hand when shavers have 50 or more soaps. Lol!

 

co0l fatboy shave Joe.how do you like the razor emporium soaps?better or the same as stirling?

 

yes sir,bowl lathering helps get the best lathers when one uses different product daily..
