B-3 Satin Mongoose with UFO Titan Fine XL
Feather Pro #1
Wolf Whiskers Amber TGN High Mountain White
Chiseled Face Ghost Town Barber
Alum, Dickinson’s ++Menthol, Cucumber Melon Whipped Shea Butter
Chiseled Face Aftershave Ghost Town Barber

Today's shave was an outstanding 2 pass BBS. TGN's High Mountain White, some say is their best knot. Soft tips, covers a large area with great backbone, generates lather quickly, has excellent flow through and holds enough lather for multiple passes. Easy to lather Chiseled Face Ghost Town Barber has slick cushioning and smells great. The Mongoose has become my go to razor. Finished my "Back Is Feeling Better Shave" with a bountiful spritz of Ghost Town Barber Aftershave. Hope yours was as good or better than mine!

Razor A: Valet Auto Strop Model "C"
Razor B: Scimitar Bluebeards Revenge
Blade A: Valet New Process
Blade B: Feather (2)
Brush: Fendrihen Silver Tip Badger Horn Faux Handle 22/49
Soap: Proraso Green
A/S: Old Spice Fresh Lime

Another DFS with 2 passes of the Valet and a Bluebeards Revenge clean up. Learning much about SE shaving this month which I wouldn't have it wasn't for this focus. Speaking of Old Spice Fresh Lime. Most of the time my wife will say about an aftershave I'm using is, "Oh that's nice, or not bad, however, with Old Spice Lime there is no middle ground. She just loves it!!!!!! So do I.

Great picture!!!!

 

Great minds think alike, although your Lime is original.

 

I want one of those brushes, those are very cool looking.

The Crazy Ivan in SEptember!
September 23

Razor - Schick M2 Injector
Blade - (1)
Brush - BoS Omega 10066
Soap - Mitchell's Wool Fat
Post - Cold Water, Alum, Nivea

Ivan approved a return to the plan today so it's back to SEptember with the Schick Injector M2. This is the razor I first shaved with waaaaaaaaayyyyy back in the day. Bought it with my own money and I don't think I even cut myself that first time. Anyway, it's a nice bit of nostalgia. Now to see how it really performs. I decided on the BoSFat for the lather today, again just because it's my favorite and I want the best for the first go around with an unfamiliar setup.

The M2 is an adjustable and when you open it all the way up it's a bit intimidating. That's quite a blade gap. Looks more like something you'd slice cheese with or perhaps do some woodworking with. I decided to start with it on the lowest setting today. Keep it mild to start. WTG was good. Smooth, no issues but I could tell by the finish how mild it is at the lowest setting. Went XTG then ATG all over finishing with a slide on the neck to get to DFS. I have to say I like how the razor handles and feels overall. It's just very mild so I am looking forward to adding some gap tomorrow. I'm planning to open it up halfway and see how it does.

The injectors really do a good job. I remember now why I liked it when I began shaving and why so many still like it today. Definitely worth the trip back down memory lane.

Excellent Photograph. Nice looking handle.

 

Thanks Patrick!

 

Thursday's


Dove Men Face Wash
Kiss My Face Cool Mint moisture shave
Jayaruh #1 Silver Tip
Schick M2 Adjustable
Personna SS Injector
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Lemon WH
Florida Water

The Kiss My Face Cool Mint moisture shave face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #1 Silver Tip brush. Two passes with my Schick M2 Adjustable Injector razor and a Personna SS Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Florida Water as an after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Beautiful brush!

Very good.... that makes a nice combo...........

 

Thank you. That was my first Jayaruh brush, and it stays in the top two. Will not give it up.

 

I have that little Gillette aftershave thingy-I guess it's good to try once in a while. Nice smell to it.

 

pretty brush
