Good morning.

Shavette Shave #608
Parker SRB
Suneko Amorphous Diamond. 1/2 DE (3)
L'Occitane Plisson Synthetic Brush
TSD Barbershoppe SS and AS
Stirling Alum Block
Beard Growth: 2 days



My last shavette shave was with this razor over a week ago and decided to go with it again. Three error-free passes gave me a BBS shave. The Suneko blade is very sharp, but smooth. Still trying to kill this soap and probably will last into late March. However, it does provide a nice slick lather so I am OK with it. Had some alum feedback in my usual areas. Splashed on the matching aftershave and I am good to go. Take care.

 

Marvelous MWF shave Chris.

 

Great pic, shave and setup Gary.

 

Thank you Gary.....I wonder why the Proraso Foam had trouble coming out at first.That's never been the case with Gillette, my first Rise order, and Barbasol.

 

Does the design on the soap cover give a hint, that it is best used with that kind of razor? I'd love to try that(te soap, that is).

 

I would agree. Took a real long time to make progress with my triples, but it worx in the end.

 

Shield stainless steel dual comb razor head.
Stainless steel razor handle.

Last shave of the month and boy did February fly by.

Awesome Fat Friday shave to end the week with.

Happy Friday everyone!

 

Thanks, John! My son, Ben, is actually the one who got me into straight shaving. He, unlike me is not bald, and straight shaves regularly. He’s a grandfather himself, and has an awe-inspiring Japanese straight razor collection. When he returned my razors to me he winked, and said, they’ll be coming back to him eventually. He is right, after all! Enjoy your shaves!

 

Happy Friday, Danny! You have excellent taste in shave soaps!

 

Lovely shave with your usual superb shave kit! Like the new flat bottom!

 

Fabulous Fat Friday shave Danny. Way to end the month.

 

FRIDAY SOTD
February 28, 2025


Kind of a rough shave this morning. I remembered why the shavers and safety razor were stored in a drawer. The shavers was a rough shave for both head and dome. Polished off the rough, bristly spots with my Colonial Silversmith housing a fresh Kai blade. This is not a working tool for me anymore. Getting ready for the Vermont trip tomorrow. My southern belle has a thing for snow! We’re heading north in her Tesla! Should be an interesting trip. I’m bringing my Colonial Silversmith, a tuck of fresh Kai blades, a Jayaruh Synthetic and Kapo Shave Cream. Don’t know how frequently I’ll be posting.

SRS # 1246

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: Puma 65
Brush: Sawdust Creation Studio Old Cahaba
Lather: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
Aftershave: Hub City Pipe Dreams
Additional Care:
Omega Alum
Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel
Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm

I have not use the Fat often over the past couple of years. However, with all the talk about the Fat and its lather ability I figured it was time it joined the party. I did not have any issues with developing a nice lather.

plenty of soap for a three pass shave with the Puma 65 straight. Another smooth and close shave. The other aspects of using the Fst is that I have the option of using any splash I. My den.

Hope you all had a great day.

 

Nice shave and set up with the Fat Jeff. Have a safe and enjoyable trip to New England.
