Greetings,

(Face & Head Shave.)

The La Barbiera shaving soap produced an excellent lather in a short space of time. I find the soap works well with face & bowl lathering, building up a lather with a my damp boar brush gives great results adding water to the tips of the brush to get the lather to the consistency I prefer.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Bulldog Original Moisturiser.

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

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

 

Nice pick and review mate

 

Thank you, Paul.

 

Thanks Joe, I like it, not sure it's my favorite though

Nice to know, don't own these so can't comment, but glad you are happy with these

thanks Gary

Nice post and pics, don't mind the bay rum myself, not as strong as the Stirling stuff, but that's all personal taste I guess

 

27 Aug 2024
Adjustable August

Days growth = 1
Prep = Hot water prep x 3
Preshave = Proraso Cypress and Vetyver
Cream/Soap = Sterling Satsuma
Brush = Pura Setola
Bowl = Timeless
Razor = Gillette Slim @4
Blade = Vintage Gillette [made in Australia for the Japanese market (1)]
This was a bit tricky to get out from the so-called fast dispenser. Nice and smooth though
Passes = 2 + as needed
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayers Rose Petal, like this more than the Lavender
ASL = PR Rinfrescante
Scent = Prada Black Luna Rossa EdP sample, just a touch, had some appointments today
Score = 9 /10
Damage = none

Preshave = Proraso Cypress and Vetyver is now finished. Going forward I will be focusing on using my shave creams in a tube as preshave. These seem to work better than the PR, for me at least

Can’t believe we are near the end of August already

 

A nasty beginning to my shave this morning, but it turned out real good in the end. Once again, I had difficulty squezing out the Rise foam. I never had such difficulty with the set of 9 cans I bought from RiseIntl. com. Course those Rises were a little different than these. This time I didn't hold the can under the tap water before applying, but the result was about the same, which frustrates me to no end. Thing is, once it's on my face and neck, I end up with a fine shave. It's like nothing bad happened with the "delivery". That is what frustrates me. Clean and clear all over...once again I had to do extra work at North Porcupine and the jawline but I succeeded. One pass Zero cuts, Knicks, Polka-dots. . Finished off with Clubman Reserve Gent's Gin again...good A.S. Very Outsnasing. (note-others here have commented on the "exit strategy" I've been having with this Rise. I'll keep at it, but if I don't see an improvement soon, I may just "chuck it all"(we have a thread devoted to doing that). Never thought I'd say that about Rise. Shux.).

Good morning.

Straight Razor Shave #571
F W Engels Special
J T Spartan Synthetic Brush
Soap Commander Honor SS (sample)
Pinaud-Clubman Classic AS
Stirling Alum Block
Personal Care Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 42 hrs



It was long overdue to use this straight so it got the call for today's shave. Although this razor is approximately 100 yrs old, it still gives a fine shave.
I selected Soap Commander Honor SS because I haven't used it for a long while, too. My experience with Soap Commander is that it provides a slick, creamy lather. My only negative is that the scents are very mild. Joe C @JACarbone piffed this sample. Thanks Joe. Here's my lather:



Three error-free passes gave me a very close and comfortable shave. I had very little feedback from the alum block. Applied the witch hazel and the Pinaud-Clubman Classic aftershave to finish this session. Take care.

 

Great shave, pic and setup Barry.

 

Nice setup and shave Chris.
