Greetings,

A relaxing early morning face and head shave. The Voskhod TC is such a smooth blade and pairs together with the Yaqi DOC Mellon Razor wonderfully.

Finishing the shave off a with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

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

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

 

another fine pic and setup Gary.

 

Hope you had a good break Joe
Back on board!

 

Can't complain about that shave Barry. Nicely done

 

Mint looking set Gary, lovely colours

Taback + Clubman > would never have thought of that. I do prefer to double up on the Tabac scents with the soap + Balm + ASL

But, might be worth a try

 

Thank you Chris. The Scottish Fine Soap always provides a good lather, scent wise it's very near to MWF & equal in performance. I have another Round/puck lined up as this one is near finished after 2.5 years of use. the voshkod TC have become favourite again, I'm tempted to carry on with them in my May Focus, but have decided to use the Indian Gillette Wilkinson Sword blade, which for me are a near match to them in smoothness & efficiency.

 

thank you Joe

 

Thank you Gary.

 

Thank you Chris.

 

Very slick sounding shave Barry.

 

Thank you Joe.

 

Monday and Tuesday(today)of this week, I had:

prep-Suave 4 Men Bodywash(in shower)
lather-Stoylin Oro Valley
brush-BOAR(vanilla knot, silver handle)*
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE
A.S.-Clubman Special Reserve**

*-I forgot what Monday's brush was. I'll list it later. The title on today's brush is "The Almond Brush"
**-I call it "Doc Pinaud Goes West!"

Fine Tuesday shave. The Oro Valley soap is getting harder these days to work with, as it's all on the sides, nothing on the bottom. Same case with the previous soap I used. I can get it onto the brush though. Nice work all around. No cuts, Knicks, polka-dots. 2 healthy passes. Love the Clubman Special Reserve aftershave. I'd like to see the new Clubman 0wners do a shave soap with that particular type. As Outstanding As It Gets(the shave as a whole, that is, but I'd say the same about the Clubman-course I already DID).

 

Thank you Gary....It's nice to be back after two days the library was closed.

 

You'll have to do some research about the arousal persuasion, but it would make sense. Also, I agree that it isn't quite up there with Old Spice, Aqua Velva, etc. for female attraction-just "good enough" I suppose.(Course rhe examples of Old Spice and AV are my quotes).

 

@brit, your Col. Conk Southwestern Gentleman soap must be kinda vintage...I don't see it in the Col.'s website.

 

thank you Chris.

 

could be discontinued,i purchased it at a local barbershop.
