Thank you, Joe. I like the Tabac scent too.

 

Thank you, Gary.

 

Thanks Gary.

 

Very nice shave this morning. BY the way, I may have been gone a while, but in my absence, I did keep up with OUDtober shaving . The Stoylin Agar soap worked wonders again, but I should have prepared the brush better. Not enough swirling. I thus NEEDED that second pass. The prep in the shower was a big help(as it always is and has been). Goose-eggs on cuts, Knicks, Polka-dots. Hopefully, I'll swirl better tomorrow. AgadirMen for the aftershave and finished off with Halston cologne. Most Outstanding.

Good morning.

Shavette Shave #582
Parker SRS
Gillette 7 o'clock Permasharp DE Blade (2)
Hembree/Maggard Timberwolf Brush
Hodgepodge of Soap Bits
Pinaud-Clubman Classic AS
Stirling Alum Block
Personal Care Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 41 hrs



It's been close to a month since I used this razor so it was due for me to shave with it. Three error-free passes gave me a BBS shave. I decided to use the remnants of different soap bits that I placed in the mug to lather. I added a little too much water so the lather was somewhat thin, but it was still slick enough for me to do a shave. Here's my lather:



I had some stinging on my neck from the alum, but very little elsewhere. Splashed on the witch hazel and the Pinaud-Clubman Classic aftershave to end this session. Take care.

 

Nice Parker Shavette shave Joe...In my November focus I'll be alternating both my Parker 87R & 94R DE razors.

 

Thanks Barry. I enjoy my shavette shaves very much.

 

I enjoy my Parker de razor shaves too.

Cool shave Joe, nice idea about the blend of soaps, it might be fun to try even without waiting for leftover bits and pieces

Nice to see you bringing out the Stoylin Gary

 

No, there's nothing wrong with dessert. Lol!

Thanks Chris. The soap remnants are what was left from bowl lathering. I don't like to waste soap.
