today's shave
hot water wash with dove+ care
whipped dog silvertip
Stirling sandalwood soap
Merkur progress(4)
persona lab(2)
Halston z-14 balm and a/s
today's shave was nice. the dog whipped the Stirling nicely. the progress is amazing, such feedback. I think it would be hard no to get a good shave. three passes left me smooth as glass. finished with Halston a/s and balm.
hope y'all did as well, or better.

I've been getting really great shaves with my Star and GEM 1912's, but this morning I wanted to pull my favorite TTO out of mothballs....This Clog-pruf Micromatic really is just about 'perfect in every way'....And could very well be the definition of BBS ....

How do you find this AS?

 

Fresh Limes
I used Mickey Lee pre shave butter today and I really like it. I chose the lime scent and it's really fresh and clean. The butter is easy to apply and very moisturizing. I did not need a balm. It also seemed to pump up the scent of Ferox as well, making a delicious combination of limes, grapefruit and pepper. The shave was very easy and smooth, the New LC doing its job. I finished with Fine Platinum to carry on the fruit theme and it worked well.

Rapira Swedish Supersteel (5)
Bestshave #6 brush
Proraso Green SS
3 passes WTG/XTG/ATG + touch-up
Homemade mentholated after shave splash

Just came home after a long bike ride so the hot shower with the following shave was a god-send
I think I'm in love with menthol (no scratch that - I like menthol and love SWMBO, according to her).
I don't fancy a face freezing frenzy, but just the light cooling sensation of a mild menthol product is great to me.

Have a nice day!

Thanks.

Lovely brush Jim have you got yourself a lathe now ?

 

6/8 Friodur
Sapone Di Paolo soap and balm
homemade boar
I received this soap and balm as a gift from a friend. Performance during the the shave and post was excellent. Have a good one.

 

Thanks. No lathe for me. This is what I have done without one though. Brush Fabrication Disorder

 

Yesterday I used AOS Sandalwood and confirmed my belief that it lacked in the cushioning I wish for in my lather. Today I combined the AOS Sandalwood with some Le Pere Lucien and had much, much better lather. It was slightly less slick than yesterday, but I did not add any glycerin today. The amount of slickness was not an issue. Unfortunately, today I also finished the last feather blade in my possession. 3 passes and very smooth.
