Nice lather bowl!

 

Congrats on the beautiful Birth Year Super Speed.

 

Thanks, my shave is in 11 minutes.

 

Great brush, but I would have a hard time shaving while I'm wearing sunglasses

SOTD - Friday, March 27, 2015

Shower
Prep: Homemade PSO
Brush: Ever-Ready 115, TGN Finest
Soap: Martin de Candre Fougere
Razor: Weber PH
Blade: Personna Lab Blue (3)
Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman vintage bottle

 

SOTD 3-27-15

Razor: ATT M2 w/Bamboo handle
Blade: Voskhod (3)
Soap: Palmolive Stick (1st time using)
Bowl: VDH used to presoak brush
Brush: VDH Boar

Preshave was just face wash with warm water and post shave was rinse with warm water then some cold water splashes and pat dry!

Shave was very good (I would say DFS) No nicks or irritation. Not sure if it was the ATT M2 plate or the Voskhod blade. I think it was the plate!

This is the first time I tried the Palmolive stick soap and I have to say It is not for me. It isn't terrible or anything like that. It lathered okay but felt kinda dry during each pass and I used enough water so not sure why it felt like that. I also dont care for the scent as it seems to be stronger than I care for. I am kinda picky and sensitive about scents and this one is not good for me. I will say my face feels pretty good after the shave like it seems to moisten well. Now I have six sticks of this stuff to move!

I have qute a few choices of blades and some soaps to sample them. Then I will decide what to keep and what to move on.

Thx.

To the Shave Den

 

Hard for me to beat the Gillette 1947 SS. Outstanding razor, IMHO.

 

03/27 – A rare Friday shave and bowl lather today. I loaded Cella for 45 seconds after letting it bloom for about a minute. Too much product but fantastic lather. A BBS all around. TGIF everyone.

• Brush: Omega 49 Boar
• Razor: 1970 Gillette Black Beauty (3,3/1)
• Blade: Ladas (1)

Beauty Razor!!!

 

Thank you, Doug. It has some cosmetic issues - even after getting tuned-up at Razor Emporium - but it's a solid shaver.

 

Here is a different SOTD that shows it sideways! This is from 3-23-15

 

Where is the bamboo handle?
