I'd actually forgot to put on aftershave. I was letting my face air dry while I was doing some other things, then forgot all about it.

 

One of my favorite lines from any movie. And it was supposed to be serious and scary, but...

 

You and me both.... A combination of cockiness, ignorance and urgency. Bad things all, when shaving.

 

So relaxing! That pic makes me want to sit back with a nice drink in my hand, put my feet up, and just relax. Of course, that would be in a world where shaving isn't necessary.

Thank you for the links.

 

Great photo. Something very relaxing about it.

 

Still feeling weak,but thanks for asking. Yes, I do get shaving withdrawal.

 

Day two using the shave stick/face lather method, this time using the omega boar. Lather was immediate and thick.
My 59' Fatboy keeps telling me it's the only razor I really need.

 

Have you tried soaking the tip of the stick before you apply it to your face? It just softens the soap and IMHO you get more soap on your face.

 

Love it, great write up, it's like Sam Spade 's shaves.

 

Love this picture. You have this way of capturing an image that makes me think, I wish I was there.

 

Joe,
Thanks for the Shave Stick Tip. I'm a Shave Stick Noob!

 

No problems it took me days of experimentation and careful analysis of my results before I realised that soaking the stick would bring the best results.
That..... and I might have one day dropped my arko stick in the sink by accident... ahem.

 

I didn't soak it. Just got it damp real quick under the tap. I'll try this next time. Thanks for the tip!

 

No problem, I just hope it helps.

 

Sundays shave.

Not the best shave.
Firstly I forgot to soak the puck whilst I showered so when I went to make my lather it didn't really go as planned. Then it was my first shave with the Stealth Slant. Now it is too early to tell much from a first shave with a razor, but it didn't go as smoothly as expected. I have read the Version 3 Stealth, which I have read has a bit more bite than the previous versions, I definitely felt that. All my shaves with Vokshod blades have been super smooth until now. I certainly need to use this razor more to find out what it can do, and experiment with different blades.
Having said all of that i did get a nice BBS shave.

Razor - Stealth Slant V.3
Blade - Vokshod
Brush - L'occitane Plisson Synthetic
Lather - D.R Harris Windsor scent
Aftershave - Williams Ice blue
