Is an Akhi similar to a Lantsman?

 

Nice choice, but I'd need to win the lottery to have it for muhself(course I'm the one who plunked down $60 to Bill Neumann to get 2 of his aftershaves with free shipping, so maybe I could do same with you Le Pere Lucien Bay Rum).

 

Akhi in Hebrew means “my brother” and Lantsman is Yiddish for either a fellow Jew or someone who’s from the same town. It depends how it’s used.

I bought the set from a BST listing for $35 and the previous owner stated used just once so I could not pass up this deal.

 

Good morning gents. It's been a while since I've used the LASC BBS-1/Polsilver, still a great razor. Keeping good company today.

It is definitely worth to fix it. Mine broke as well, so I fixed it with epoxy and them sanded into pure wood before adding some stain. Looks awesome, like a custom 1305

Hi all,
I had a brilliant shave this morning with the Alpha outlaw evolution SS.
There is not much else I can say about this stunning razor that hasn’t already been said the shave is efficient and close and oh so smooth.
Steve from Alpha shaving really up to his game with the redesign of the outlaw which I never tried myself but I’m aware as many of us are that it had issues.

The Gillette Nacet blade is sharp and smooth it paired very well with this razor as I expected.

Finished off nicely with Genuine Ogallala bay rum & vanilla splash.

One pass WTG one pass ATG no touch ups perfect.
No nicks no worries.

Cheers.
PS, I went with an AFL theme today as the finals start in just under two weeks and my team are in with a chance this year.

Gotta admit that the 'German' Personna Platinum Chrome blades didn't miss a beat.. sharp, smooth, and delivered a faultless shave with a variety of razors.. but, with this, its 8th outing, I could feel that it was losing its edge..

Greetings,

A later than normal posting...

The Baili BD 191... is on offer from many different shaving companies, at various prices 'Vikings Blade' & Razorock are just some that comes to mind.

Like the Baili BD177 Rose Gold TTO & Kanzy K100 Chinese clone razors, the Baili BD 191 has a "closed head design" which gives extra protection from catching my ear lobes and under the nose when shaving something of which I like very much about all three razors.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Cien Men X-Bolt ASL.

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

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Tabac After Shave

The Tabac Shave Soap was face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #465 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Double Ring Razor and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Tuesday morning:

Long shower
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/7 AM day 10
Compass Ice Energy SC
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Proraso Green AS Splash

This Compass cream is from Bulgaria I believe and to be honest it’s good stuff. It smells quite nice, it’s a fabulous latherer, it’s slick, but although it lists menthol as an ingredient it’s not really cooling but the postshave feeling is very soothing and comfortable. The Gold Bond moisturizer added plenty of menthol goodness, and so did the Proraso Green aftershave. Three passes did the job for me - another terrific BBS shave that was very enjoyable indeed!

Wishing you all a great day - be well and stay safe!
