March 15 SOTE

Good evening.

Schick I-1 Injector Razor
Pella Injector Blade (12)
Mr.EE LE #10 Cashmere Brush
Angora Soaps Midnight Lavender SS and AS
Stirling Alum Block
Beard Growth: 3 days



Three error-free passes gave me a very nice shave. Zero feedback from the alum. Finished with the matching aftershave application. Take care.

 

That must be a wonderful scent of lavender mixed with the citrus. I guess it sweeter than the usual lavender and bergamot concoctions. Great shave Barry!

 

Super shave Chris! Have you tried the Gillette Nacet blades with that razor? I am asking because I don't recall if you did.

 

Unfortunately, there are some guys that imo can't carry the bald look. With that said, it really is up to the individual if he thinks that he can do so. However, if one has a real odd shape or has multiple scars in different places, then it may not look good.

 

Terrific Thursday shave Gary!

 

cool schick shave and pic Joe.

 

thank you Joe.

(Face & Head Shave)

A new eclectic shave set up to start the Weekend..

As always the monsavon soap provided a luxurious protective slick lather...The monsavon au lait has to be one my favourite shaving soap to date. It's slick, protective and the post shave feeling it gives is superb making each shave a enjoyable pleasurable experience.

Another close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Gel.

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

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

 

My shave this morning(Sat)should have been better. It was OK. Great work with the boar brush, loading the Stoylin soap. I left a little too much astroturf along the right cheek. Will do better tomorrow. . Clean&clear elsewhere. This was my first Stoylin in a long while. 2 passes. Nice ending with the Stoylin Ramblin Man A.S. Pretty Outstanding.

 

fine way to start the weekend Barry

May 17 SOTA

Good afternoon.

Gillette Heritage Razor
Gillette 7 o'clock Super Platinum DE Blade (fresh)
L'Occitane Plisson Synthetic Brush
Stirling Tsuka SS, AS and EdT
Stirling Alum Block
Beard Growth: 1.83 Days




I am going out this evening so I needed to be clean-shaven. However, I will withhold my headshave tomorrow. Therefore. I picked the Stirling Tsuka because it has a cologney vibe. Did a facelather instead of a bowl lather. It was very wet, but quite slick. Three error-free passes gave me an ultra-smooth shave. Alum feedback was on my neck, but it wasn't too bad. Splashed on the matching aftershave and two pumps of the EdT. I feel refreshed, clean and smell nice. Take care.
