Friday's Shave



Same as yesterday, right down to shaving at 0100 hours. Was able to take my time a bit more today. Very good 2 pass shave.

 

FRIDAY
Broke out the neglected Red Imp the morning. Really a fine razor, but the intimidating spike point always has me reaching for another razor.
This shouldn't dissuade me as this big Imp is a truly a great,smooth shaver!
Have a blessed Friday, all!

Prep: warm wash and Cornhusker's Lotion
Lather: TSD Coconut
Brush: TGN synthetic
Razor: Weber PH
Blade: Lord Super Stainless (3)
Post: cool rinse and Old Spice Pure Sport aftershave

I've pondered getting down to a daily 2 pass shave but then I wonder why. The third pass takes around a minute and provides that last little bit of clean-up I need and it feels good. I guess I'll stick with 3 passes and have a DFS every day.

Prep: Hot shower with Nivea Face Wash with menthol, home made PSO
Razor: Gillette Red Tip Super Speed, Wade & Butcher Bow straight razor
Blade: Astra SP (6)
Brush: Turkish #6
Soap: RazoRock - Neroli
After: Home made ASB, Nivea for men after shave balm

It is Friday and cold again. The Neroli was whipped up beautifully by the #6 brush. The Red Tip and the Bow had no problems mowing down the stubble. The Nivea ASB provided good moisturizing and the Prada will have me smelling great all day long. All in all it was a Darn Fine Shave + this morning.

Have a blessed day!

Frey's Day:

Prep: Hot shower, Neutrogena Invigorating Face Wash, TSD Jasmine Sambac preshave balm
Brush: Simpson 56 Best Badger
Soap: Ginger's Garden Grass Stain Menthol Snow
Razor: Merkur 41c 1904 OC
Blade: Bic Chrome Platinum (3)
Passes: WTG, XTG, XTG (7, 8, 9)
Post: Cold water splash, Bloc Osma alum, Dickinson's WH, RazoRock One-X AS splash
Cologne: Jasmin et Cigarette by Etat Libre d' Orange

Under the weather yesterday, so I skipped shaving. Today I was better enough to trust myself holding a piece of sharp metal against my face. The lather built so easily, it was as if I had puck-lathered. The extra stubble made the shave that much easier, with very smooth, DFS+ results. I did catch a mystery weeper on the 3rd pass under my chin, but it had stopped bleeding before the alum even got to that spot.
