Happy birthday, Jasman!

Soap - Mikes Barbershop
Brush - WD Synthetic
Razor - Rockwell 6S (#5)
Blade - Personna 74* (13)
AS- Pinaud Clubman Musk

Very good shave. Personna 74*, although still comfortable is loosing cutting performance, not as close, doubtful more than 1 or 2 shaves left with it.

 

I can answer that one Omelmad,no alcohol.This is what's on the bottle:Witch Hazel,Aloe,Distilled Water,Essential Oil,Polysorbate,Menthol.

 

Thanks! Good question.. I do favor the the closed comb and use it most of the time, I'll use the open comb side on more sensitive areas like my lower neckline.

 

Happy Birthday Jasman!!!

 

so do you believe the open side is more efficient, hence saving it for your more sensitive spots?
a better question would be, are both sides equal?
I ask because I have one on the way. it will change the way I shave a little. I normally flip the razor between strokes, or as lather builds.

 

Sunday
hot shower/cold shave
Proraso Omega Brush -------I did 2 day's of palm lathering as this brush was especially fragrant.Today I loaded it up with SOTQ Oatmeal Stout and I got a real nice lather.This is going to be a great brush once it really breaks in,14 clams well spent.
Corn Huskers Lotion (prep)
SOTQ Oatmeal Stout Lanolin Soap -------Really nice scent,I got a great lather with a unbroken in brush.
EverSharp Hydro-Magic/Pella coated injector (7)
cold water rinse
Monster Block Alum
cold water rinse
Tend Skin
Levan Rose Beard Oil
Myrsol Metilsol
Imaginary Authors A city On Fire

Stay frosty,my friends!

 

IMO the closed side is more efficient, I get a much cleaner shave with the closed side. I only use the open side on areas that I really just want to lightly go over, I don't believe I get the same shave from each side. I'd much rather have both sides closed. It's a great razor!

 

"Happy Happy" Birthday @Jasman.

 

No, not at all.

 

Happy Birthday

 

Happy Birtghday Jasman!

Reef Point Submariner today. 20 seconds to load the Fuller Pur-Tech Synthetic. Great, easy, thick, lather. Gillette 7 O’Clock Blue SP in the Slim. Excellent smooth, close, shave! I finished CC Sweet Water.

Cool. Good to know =P

 

My face will need almost all day to thaw out after this shave. The Glacial Lemon Chill soap felt almost painfully cold, and the Glacial Wintergreen witch hazel hit me like ten tons of menthol bricks. Stuff like this is only for a Krazy Menthol Monkey. (like me!)

 

Smart

 

Thank you =) that's a nice ingredient list. Rod is a sorcerer =P

I would have thought that the menthol would come earlier in the list haha

 

Floral Sunday

I combined Lavender MDC, Geo. F. Trumper Lilac, and TOBS Rose for a floral bouquet of smooth and creamy goodness. Excellent 4 pass shave. I never seem to be able to stop at 3 passes when I have a great combo.

Remember, you can watch the future NCAA champions (G.U. Bulldogs - my alma mater ) play today at 5:05 Eastern Time.

 

I know I wouldn't be able to use it

Mastro Livi CarboInox Kamisori​

It is always a great joy to shave with a masterpiece, it adds beauty to a beautiful act like traditional shaving. This Mastro Livi CarboInox kamisori is also a great shaver, giving a deep and close shave, just like any Mastro Livi straight razor. This is the very first CarboInox kamisori ever made by Mastro Livi and I love the stunning combination of shiny stainless steel and the elegant touch of the carbon damascus in the middle. CarboInox is in fact made with the San Mai technique and it is made of three layers of steels, in which Mastro Livi has been successful in combining carbon steel to stainless steel. Amazing shave!​

• Pre-Shave: Roberts Distilled Rose Water
• Soap: Musgo Real Orange Amber
• Brush: My Father's Omega Bristle 47
• Bowl: Gerby Bowl
• Strop: Mastro Livi Loom Strop and Hand Palm
• Razor: Mastro Livi CarboInox Kamisori
• Post-Shave: Umbrian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• After Shave: Myrsol F./Extra

 

Thank you. I had fun with that one.
