Early Morning shave.

Everything in my shave set up this morning worked together excellently.

Another close comfortable face & head shave. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of L'0REAL Barber Club Reinforcing ASB.

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

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

 

Great combination Joe, Slim and Tabac. That reminds me to not ignore my tabacs!

Super shave Barry classic setup, your results are really consistent

 

29 OCTOBER 2024

2 days growth

Old OC Made in Canada new type razor. 54 grams, part of a deceased estate bundle. Scruffy, well used, I like the handle. Not keen on the cap, a few minor bent teeth, but hey! It works fine
Vintage Schick Blade (1)
Puro Tasso brush, nice splayer, still working well, my first shave brush

Usual Prep with Faulding’s South Australian Shave cream
White lather bowl, I seem to get less bubbles with a smooth bowl than when I use the Timeless bowl


Sterling Bay Rum soap
Alum, Thayers’, Nivea balm etc
Sterling Bay Rum ASL

2 passes and liberal cleanups. Funky shave with this old razor. Will need to try and figure out how old this one is…

Have a great Tuesday one and all

Thank you, Gary.

 

Great shave this morning.....Stoylin's Oud Sigma is becoming a favorite. 0:40 at the Loading Dock(I didn't need the full minute). Clean and clear all over. 2 passes. AgadirMen(Oud Wood) A.S. came through again, as it always has, for me. I used to wish Agadir would come out with a shave soap, but I'm happy enough now with Stoylin's Oud Sigma-don't need the soap. No damage done. As Outstanding As It Gets.

 

I've misplaced my Russian :Leather A.S.(bought from the TSD store). Shux. Would like to try a RS soap someday.

 

fine tuesday shave Paul.

 

Thank you Gary....Same again tomorrow.

 

Very nice setup and shave Barry.

 

Thanks Chris. I also like the Russian Voskhod blades. They are sharp, but smooth.

 

If the razor gives a good shave, then the aesthetics shouldn't matter. I have vintage straights that aren't flawless, but they shave well. Besides, I appreciate their well worn look because it gives them a sort of charm.

 

I never looked at it that way, but that perspective goes with your automotive background.

 

Awesome setup and shave Gary. I have heard of English Leather, but not Russian Leather.

 

Thank you Joe.
