    It's just that this is the first can I've used where the exit has always been difficult-hopefully it's easier with time.

    Days growth = 2 days
    Prep = Hot water prep
    Preshave = Faulding’s shaving cream in a tube (Australian made)
    Cream/Soap = Sterling Satsuma
    Brush = Omega 10049 big boar
    Bowl = Timeless
    Razor = Gillette Aristocrat ‘47
    Blade = Vintage Gillette made in Australia (2)
    Passes = 2 passes, my usual multidirectional first pass, 2nd pass XTG and some XTG, careful touch up in my problem areas
    Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayers Rose Petal
    ASL = PR Barbe Dure with added Oud drops

    Fantastic smooth clean up of 2 days growth the the Vintage Gillette razor and blade
    Interesting that these razor and blade combinations all have their own unique feel

    Real good Throwback Thursday shave this morning. 0:50 at the Loading Dock for the Unnamed Brush. It's a nice brush. Clean and clear all over. Struggled again at North Porcupine, but it was less of a struggle than previous shaves. 2 passes. Goose-eggs on cuts, Knicks, Polka-dots. Maybe a little extra of the Proraso A.S., as the nice scent is showing strongly. One Man Show Cologne to close out. Super Duper Outstanding.

    Aug 29 Head and Face Shave

    Good morning.

    Mühle R102
    Voskhod DE Blade (2,3)
    MrEE LE #10 Cashmere Brush
    Soap Commander Vision SS
    Pinaud-Clubman Classic AS
    Stirling Alum Block
    Personal Care Witch Hazel
    Beard Growth: 46.5 hrs
    Dome Turf: 3.75 days

    20240829_094152.jpg

    It's that time for another head and face shave. Went with the R102 with a relatively fresh Voskhod blade. I only needed 2 passes for my face and dome. However, I needed touchups on the top deck. Achieved BBS on face and near BBS on dome. Missed a small spot, but it isn't visible due to my gray.
    Since Joe @JACarbone went with the Soap Commander Vision Soap yesterday. I decided to use it today. Thanks Joe for the sample. As you can see below it makes a nice, creamy lather. Btw, it's very slick and it was the right choice to shave with the amount of growth on my face and dome.

    20240829_094654.jpg

    Had some feedback on the dome, but not on the face and neck. Splashed on the witch hazel and the Pinaud-Clubman Classic aftershave and I am ready to face the day. Take care.

    Very nice setup and shave Barry. In my world, Old Spice is a winner.

    Thank you, Joe. The Proctor & Gamble Old Spice scent offerings are completely different to the original scent. However, they are an excellent inexpensive post shave application.
