Sundays Shave

I had been using my DE89 for a while and getting some good shaves, but since switching to a different razor the shaves haven't been as good so I have decided to use just one razor for a while and perfect my technique with that razor, which is , a slim


Razor - Gilette Slim
Brush - Whipped Dog 22mm Silvertip
Lather - Tabac
Blade - Gilette Silver Blue
Aftershave - Nivea for Men

Tabac was great as usual, and the shave was pretty good too. I hope you all had a good weekend.

Grapefruit sounds nice. Does it smell like grapefruit.
The aftershave sounds interesting but i have no idea what Basil and tiger grass smell like.

Splash, very nice and soothing.

Here's my menthol Sunday (I never get around to shaving Monday)

Prep: shower, Proraso green pre-shave soap, Cromwell and Cruthera oil
Brush: Omega 10066 boar
Blade: Dovo 5/8
Soap: TSD Iced subzero
Post: osage rub and some Vaseline.
Today was one of those days when everything comes together: no irritation and a BBS shave.

SOTD - 14 December 2014 Sunday Mystery Soap Shave

I decided to revisit and finish off the Yuma Mystery Soap...it is slick, thick, and smells really nice. It's prodominant notes are vanilla and soft coconut...lather shot time!

53 Ball End Gillette Tech with Gilette Silver Blue (day 2)
VDH Kit Badger
$0.99 Resin Molcajete (I textured the inside for lather.)
IdC Yuma Pass Around mystery soap
Alum Block
>TSD Barber Shoppe AS Splash<
Vitalis - Because the scalp needs some love too!

Decided to take a day off from the menthol, keep it fresh and get ready for Menthol Monday...the Tech and Silver Blue delivered again. The soap has a great skin feel and is a solid performer. Topped it off with a splash of TSD AS for an old school finish with great skincare and feel.

Happy Sunday Gentlemen!

Love Sandalwood! That soap is going on my list. Looks like you have hit the ground running!

I love Stirling's soaps..I really do...but I do believe his Sandalwood soap has forever turned me off Sandalwood.
Old, sweaty sneakers-smell.

Thanks for the tip, I love old sneakers!

It's from the new "Fetish-line".

I am not sure I love 'em like that, but go with what you know...

The scent is very light with a hint of vintage Harlem Globetrotters Converse.

Should pair well with the Veg then?
