SoS: April 6, 2015 - April 12, 2015

Friday

Soap: Mike's Natural unscented
Brush: Doug Korn D7 HIS synthetic
Razor: Feather AS-D2
Blade: Astra SP
After: Cold rinse, CeraVe lotion

 

L'Occitane Cade
Rapira Swedish blade
Slim Adjustable

Nice 3 pass shave.

 

Razor: Gillette New SC Red & Black set 1930s
Brush: Vintage Every-Ready 300L with TGN Silvertip 18/51
Mug: Old Spice 1985 Cobalt Blue
Cream: Castle Forbes cedarwood & sandalwood cream
Blade: Feather (2)
Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Jack Black Balm, Pinaud Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum
First shave for me with the Gillette New SC, and going in I will take it slow. Loaded a Feather blade, and checked the alignment. The little silvertip brush whipped up a thick warm lather in the OS Mug. Very close two pass shave with some touchup. More aggressive than the LC so I had to pay close attention. Warm water rinse and pat dry. Some WH and after cleanup some JB Balm. Then some nice Bay Rum. Nice razor, great feedback and I can get into some spots on my neck with only a little buffing. I'm glad I got both the SC and LC, as I like the large heavy handle, and they clean up easier than my adjustables. Thanks to all of your SOTD pictures and comments, I landed 2 very nice razors. I can breath easy for the start of the weekend, right Faith Carlos?

Prep: Hot shower with Nivea Face Wash with menthol, home made PSO
Razor: Cobra Classic, Wade and Butcher Bow straight razor
Blade: Feather Pro Light (3)
Brush: Vie Long Horse Hair
Soap: HTGAM - Gondolier
After: Home made ASB

A good Friday shave. The Vie Long brush whipped the Gondolier into a great warm lather. The Bow and the Cobra had no trouble knocking down the stubble. The Prada will have me smelling great all day. All in all it was an easy Darn Fine Shave.

Have a blessed day!

Last nights shave was interesting, it was so smooth and comfortable as I was shaving I wondered if I was getting close enough.
Well, when all was said and done I had a DFS that was extremely comfortable. So here is last nights line up.

Lord L6 razor
Kiss my face key lime cream
Bass brush- (a cheapie from the hippie store- it says natural bristle- it's boar I think).
Baili super stainless platinum blade (2)
Jeris Musk aftershave.

I've been pleasantly surprised by the performance of the baili blade. It was smoother on the second shave than it was on the first.

 

I agree......PM's work great too.

Fantastic 2 pass shave this morning. First pass ATG followed by XTG with just a small bit of cleanup. Certainly one of my better shaves. The Rubberset whipped up enough lather for 4 or 5 passes. Have a great Friday and a better weekend.

Half the fun of your pics is figuring out where your kit traveled to. Love 'em all. Does your razor have a passport?

Seeing a few Executive Man's in this thread- how do you all like it? Looking to pick some up but curious how it compared to Aventus or Fine Platinum (if you have tried either)

 

As I don't often shave on the weekends today marked the last day of my weeklong usage of the Tradere.
I will truly miss it and I it's the first razor that have caused me to second-guess my plan to use different razors each week this year - as it will be a long time until I get to pick it up again...

Blade: Personna

Soap: Soap Commander Endurance
