Good good good shave. Love it.

 

Tuesday 3/24

• Penchetta Penworks Silvertip
• Irisch Moos Shave Stick
• 7/8 W&B Celebrated Hollow Ground
• Gillette NEW (short toothed one I picked up yesterday - first use)
• Gillette 7OCB
• Thayer's Alcohol Free Original
• Irisch Moos A/S splash

Result: Burn. I think the first lathering with the stick (stick directly on face, then work into lather with brush) was a bit on the thick side, and to compensate I used too much pressure with my straight (1X WTG). Then to top it off, I went with 2 XTG passes when I knew I should have done just one. But I wanted that BBS smoothness....and I sure got it! Although the CWR, Thayer's, and IM Splash helped make my face feel better, it still looks a little red. I must say, I like the IM scent, a lot.

USE YOUR HAND.

The Razor's a Click, very fun, Zorrik-loaded.

C&E's Pure is basically the only brush I put to my face nowadays. Fair price for such a perfect brush.

I can't express how much better Tabac is in its EdT form than in its EdC, and baby does it go beautifully with Hand SS.

 

I think you enjoy that soap, Habibi!

 

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

Shavemac 22mm silvertip
fatboy/feather
AOS unscented SC (w/Pimenta Racemosa EO added)
Lucky Tiger AS
Storer 'Monk' EdT

Good technique and the proper tools applied correctly resulted in a BBS shave this morning. Bingo! That, plus this EdT is one I quite enjoy wearing.......just reordered it recently.
