Prep: Warm shower, Cetaphil Lotion
Razor: Gillette Tech
Blade: Voskhod
Lather: Stirling Orange Chill
Brush: VDH Boar
Post: Witch Hazel, Cetaphil Lotion
Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman

I hadn't planned to shave this morning since I had such a late shave yesterday, but then decided I would make a single pass with my mildest razor. I'm not so sure this was a good idea. I should have stuck with what works. The Tech is so mild that, if it weren't for a little bit of irritation, I wouldn't be able to tell that I shaved. Oh well, there's always tomorrow. Off to church.

Have a great day!

 

The black 7 o'clock ones are pretty good

Pre: Maggard razors PSO – Lime
Brush: GBS Pure Badger
Soap: Maggard Razors Shaving Soap (Tallow) – London Barbershop
Razor: ’61 Gillette Adjustable “Fat Boy” aka Mr. Big Stuff
Blade: Personna Red
Splash: Humphreys Alcohol Free Cucumber Melon Witch Hazel Facial Toner
Post: Gillette Gel ASB

I love Maggard Razors soaps. Although Lime & Bergamot is my favorite scent from them, the London Barbershop is arguably their best lather that I have tried. ...

Get on down to That Shave Life!

 

I agree! Just blogged about how well Maggard soaps lather

 

Shave of the day for Sunday Nov. 9; quick and mild.
Prep- Kiehls face fuel
water- cold
Soap- Arko stick (now a puck shaped stick)
Mug- vintage golden knight soap
Brush- vintage 'Certifyd'... this is my power brush. Builds mountains of lather fast. I swear I could build lather with a brick using this brush.
razor- Gillette blue tip super speed
Blade- derby
After care- Thayers lavender witch hazel
Aftershave- skin bracer, modern
Lotion- Every Man Jack

Today was a utility shave. A quick but efficient effort to get out of the house looking fresh. It worked. The more I use my Blue Tip, the more I like it. Yes it is mild. Crazy mild. But I don't have complex facial hair. And I have reasonably sensitive skin, so for me, mood is good. Especially when I am moving fast. Good shave. Smooth as can be, zero irritation.

Lieber Freund, es freut mich sehr dass Du Menthol liebst. Jetzt sollst Du eine gute Menthol Monday Rasur probieren. Es gibt so viel tolle Sachen - zum Beispiel, die Synergy Frost_byte Seife die so kalt und erfrischend ist!
