Good stuff this morning. I'm beginning to like this double edge shaving thing.

Happy Wednesday everyone!

 

Hard to beat that shave.

 

Smooth one Joe!

 

Fine shave ths morning-the back 9 of the Proraso Foam can and Prorasso Barbe Dure A.S. I may have to move to my other can, I heard a weird sound at the end of squeezing out the first one...kinda like it's nearing its end. Next time I do it, I'll see if it's the same sound, then make the switch. Anyway, no damage anywhere. One pass. Fine finish with the A.S. Super DuperOutstanding.

 

Oh, by "don't ask", I meant don't ask me how the thing happened. Glad you recognized the avatar-Chris put it back for me(thanks again, buddeh).

 

Classic setup and shave Gary.

 

Terrific Timeless shave Danny.

 

thank you Joe.

 

fabulous mid week shaves gents.

 

Excellent PAA taunt002 shave Joe.

 

Hello Danny. Great to hear from you at the LI Chapter of the 30DC breakfast.

 

DE Shave # 556

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: Ming Shi Futur Clone
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (2)
Brush: Jayaruh 381 Badger/Boar
Lather: Stirling Agar
Aftershave: Stirling Agar
Additional Care:
Omega Alum
Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel
Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm

Going with the darkest scent in either of my dens. The Stirling Agar is just straight up in your face Oud, nothing else. As with all Stirling soaps the lather provided a slick cushion for the blade to do its work. I went with a lather that was one the thinner persuasion.

The passes with the Merkur Futur clone, the Ming Shi, to total smoothness. The post shave alum report was nonexistent.

Hope you all have had a great day.

 

Thanks for sharing Joe, I like your collection of brushes, I personally prefer the ones with longer handles

Thx Joe, time will tell....

Thank you Joe

Thanx Gary

Cool Gary. Question: what did you decide to do with the broken one...bin it/repair it? (Just interested)

Thanks Danny, I can still try!

 

Excellent shave Chris. Which Cyril R. Salter soap is featured in this shave.

 

Thank you Danny.
