    today's shave
    hot water wash with nuetrogena men's invigorating face wash and a washcloth
    semouge 620
    soap commander passion
    Grand Shave King self lubricating razor
    Ladas(3)
    soap commander passion balm
    today's shave was nice.
    feeling fall in the air,I opted for sc passion. it's a bit warmer than my normal Caribbean favorites. the shave king made three passes, dfs results. not quite as close as the first two, but the blade is not as new. I'm feeling very comfy, but the wife pointed out a slight bit of stubble under my chin. not enough to worry about. finished with the passion balm, I'm feeling nice.
    church today, y'all come with me.

    Outstanding shave!! I like this Duro/Dura? #2 knot has some backbone, this brush has some weight! Very nice.

    Have a great day!
    Tonsorial Parlour is the only CB soap remaining in my shave den. The Lemon Verbena scent is unique and while I am not a huge fan of Coconut oil in my shave soaps, I do enjoy the shave from this particular soap.

    Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm a Man of Menthol and proud to be one - that Williams Menthol cream smells, lathers, cools, and feels great. That Rubby Dubby Doo is enough to numb your face also after a good, bone-chillingly cold shave like I had! :happy088:

    30 day focus - Day 18
    Fat Boy set to 9
    Voskhod Blade
    MDC Face Lathered
    3 passes

    The Fat boy and my technique have really been coming together over the last few days. Since changing the setting to 9, I have been getting consistent BBS shaves. Late at night I can feel my cheeks and know how well the morning's shave has gone. In fact, I am getting such nice shaves off the Fat Boy, I am seriously wondering whether I prefer the Slim Adjustable or the Fat Boy.

    No clue about the Fine. I have a bottle of Fresh Vetiver that gets rarely used.

    Nice shave this morning. I can't identify this Sheffield (Lan "something" ear). It has an acorn stamp on the tang. I really enjoy shaving with these old wedges. Have a good one.
