Very good.shave this morning to close out the two-day Razzorock/Gabel's set. Clean and clear along the cheeks&sideburns. (better on the left sideburn ara than the right, though). Porcupine Alley came in very well(both ends). I got the center of Cactus Nation, but not so on the left and right sides. Fine work with the Gabel's Bay Rum. Closed out with Halston cologne. Pretty Outstanding.

Friday Sept 13 (morning) - SE Supply, Synthetic, Semogue, Stirling September

Prep: Hot face wash with Aleppo olive oil soap w/ 20% bay laurel oil (traditional anti-acne)

Razor: Supply 2.0 matte black stainless steel injector w/ SE "nickproof" comb plate / Personna white box (6)

Soap: Stirling Scots Pine Sheep

Brush: Semogue SOC cherrywood badger re-knotted with APShaveCo Tuxedo synthetic

Lather Bowl: None

Post: rinse, alum, rinse

Last shave: Tuesday morning - 3 days

The setup:



The result: OK to decent.

This was a quick shave today. I was heading out on a few errands and decided at the last minute that I should shave. So it was "one and done" to look acceptably cleanshaven in public.

This is a great setup for that: the synthetic brush whips up a quick face lather, the Stirling sheep soap provides easy slick performance and good postshave skin feeling, and the heavy Supply injector with the "nick proof" plate allows for a very rapid shave pass without risk of bloodshed.

The net result is that I can do a one-pass shave to get from "scruffy hobo" to "neatly shaven businessman" in about two minutes flat.

Hope everyone had a good week and will have an excellent weekend!

fabulous weekender shave Barry.have a fine weekend.

 

Thank you, Gary. Have a fine weekend as well.

 

Awesome one pass shave John. Realistically, I think most shavers can get by with a one pass shave. I think that the enjoyment of wetshaving prompts us to do more than one pass.
