What worked well last night worked great again tonight. (technique)
I got a BBS/DFS with "No Nicks or Weepers"
No Razor Burn, I did need to used the Afta After Shave Skin Conditioner,
it really does feel very soothing in this humidity and heat.
I used Williams Mug Shaving Soap
I will continue to use it the rest of this week, then on Sunday use another Shaving Soap.
Maybe after all of these years I have finally learned how to shave?​

 

Afta was the very first aftershave I bought - still got some left. I remember liking it quite a bit. Thanks for 'reminding me' about it - I'll use it next week

 

Nice setup @PatrickA51 .

 

Good setup. Nice hands.

 

Great setup! Love the glass bottle.

Razor – ATT R2 with Triad Helix SS
Blade – Feather (1)
Brush – Rudy Vey with TGN Finest
Lather – B&M Latha
Post - Witch Hazel & Floid Vigoroso Sample



Another great shave this morning, 2 passes with touch ups got me as close to BBS as I have time for. Finished off with a splash of Floid Vigoroso from the sample pack. Hope everyone has a great Saturday.

 

I agree 100% with you, on my face GSB are good for one shave. Im really enjoying the World Tournament of Blades! Let's Go Ladas!

 

Smoother than silk, as well as more frigid than a winter morning in Siberia is a perfect description of this shave. The Glacial Lavender is a cherished favourite soap of mine, and after a splash of the Rubby Dubby Doo I think my face will need all day to thaw out!

 

Does your face get red from all the menthol?

 

lollllllllll Not at all, habibi!

 

Hahaha okey, I get some redness, not irritation, just a little red here and there. It goes away after 1-5 minutes

Razor Head: Schick I1
Blade Face: Personna Lab Blue
Blade Head: Schick
Brush: Ever-Ready 150 TGN 24/54mm Synthetic by @GDCarrington aka Burma Shave

Summertime shave! Excellent soap, and aftershave. The Schick I1 has become my head razor, I get the smoothest shave, no irritation. I really needed the Baby Smooth this morning after a week of aggressive shaves from the iKon Tech. My Burma Shave brush blows away everything else I have in the stable.
A better tomorrow. Takes your best today!

 

SOTD June 20, 2015

Prep: Hot facecloth followed by homemade lavender pre-shave oil
Soap: Sterling Orange Chill
Razor: Fendrihan DE
Blade: Feather
Brush: Omega Boar Bristle
Aftershave: Hot facecloth followed by Lavender Witch Hazel
Aftershave balm: Shea butter
Mustache Wax: Badger

This is the first of several shaves using my new selection of Sterling Soaps...and I am impressed for several reasons: the soap lathered very well, the scent was that of a ripe, sun-kissed orange, the hint of menthol was very nice (I can see using this soap in the warm days of summer)...and best of all...I was able to tolerate the scent! So I can add a new soap to my repertoire. The soap lubricates well and paired with my Fendrihan DE this shave worked like a charm. No nicks or weepers...so no blood was shed!
