Good afternoon.

Shavette Shave # 569
Dovo
Personna Hairshaper Blade (12)
JR #290 Cashmere Brush
Stirling Tsuka SS and AS
Stirling Alum Block
Personal Care Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 47 hrs



Had a nice error-free 3 pass BBS shave. Stirling Tsuka is a nice Fougere scented soap. Here's my lather pic:



I barely made enough for the 3 passes. With Stirling soaps, you can make a thin lather and the slickness is still adequate to get a nice shave. That's just one of the reasons why this soap is economical.

Did get one alum sting. Splashed on the witch hazel and the matching aftershave to finish this session. Take care.

Greetings,

Relaxing Sunday Morning Shave.

The Eco Warrior shaving bar performed wonderfully this morning producing a slick protective lather in a short space of time.

The soap has a mild scent good texture & slickness it's protective leaving an impressive post shave feel. I've yet to try any of the new recipes of the Eco Warrior shaving bars, but by the negative comments and reviews I've read I'll give them a miss.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Cooling Gel.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

 

Collective Thanks gents!

Slim @4, Shark (2), binned
Palmolive on its own today
Rubbed on to face, then brush lathered
Almost had enough lather!
Had to grab some more from the tube...
Lesson learned, more is better...
3 passes
No alum with me atm, so I went easy
Thayers in a travel container
No damage
PR Rinfrescante was a bit stinging, meaning I got close enough!

Have a blessed Sunday

 

A much better shave today than yesterday. The key reason? Goose-eggs on cuts,Knicks, Polka-dots. I had mostly the same arsenal, but a different

Brush-Stoylin Mid-siized Synthetic

A minute at the Loading Dock prior to the first pass. Great job on the cheeks&sideburs. I had to redo the jawline-didn't get all of it the first time. Porcupine Alley was a success. Same down at Cactus. Then, going with my new focus, another 0:15 at the Dock prior to the sscond. I think that helped make a difference. Also making sure to go lighter everywhere, especially where I fouled up yesterday(middle of Cactus, left side). Good work with Gabel's A.S. Closed out with Halston cologne, having made a mental mistake with the One Man handle. I hope I can fix the latter, but Halston will do until then. Super Duper Outstanding.

 

"Live and learn" as my Mom always said.

 

Excellent shave Barry. If you liked this Eco Warrior bar soap, then I am wondering why it got bad reviews with its other shave bars?

 

Very nice setup and shave Chris.

 

Thanks Joe, plan to do better next time!

 

Thank you, Joe. The reason for the bad reviews is because the manufacturer maker of the shaving soap bar has changed the formation, probably using cheaper ingredients, and by doing so has resulted in what was a great shaving bar that produced an excellent lather, to a shaving soap bar that that produces a lather that dissipates, even though the slickness is still there, this is the same has a normal hand/ bath bar soap.The shaving bar that I have is the old formation which produces a slick protective leather,and good post shave feel.

 

thank you Chris.
