Monday's


Dove Men Face Wash
Tabac Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #27 Silver Tip
Gillette Super Adjustable
Astra Super Platinum
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Rose Petal WH
Aqua Velva AS

The Tabac Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #27 Silver Tip brush. Two passes with my Gillette Super Adjustable razor and an Astra Super Platinum 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 Rose Petal WH and then Aqua Velva after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Sixteenth shave of No Variation NoVember.

oh, I get it...."mit" as in "with".

 

Jeff, you should show that DIANA to Sara-s, our archery expert. See the bow&arrow?

 

Paul, just use @Sara-s and I'm sure next time she logs on Sara will check this.

Brush: Omega Pro 20102
Lather: The Blades Grim: Smolder
Post: Witch Hazel, Lucky Tiger and Stirling Executive Man AS balm

Great shave today! The soap and blade are both new to me, but worked fairly well. The soap I have been experimenting with to get the lather just right; I wouldn't put it in my top 5 (or maybe even 10), but it's a decent soap. It does smell great though! The blade also performed well, but not the best. They seem to have a little more "drag" to them than Voskhods or Rapira Stainless. But it was only the second shave with the blade, so some more trial is due for it. Overall though, not a bad shave at all. =)

Menthol Monday
A pleasingly cool shave this morning. Krampert's Frostbite soap is a winner. Great lather and skin care without freezing my face too much. PAA provided bookends this morning with Ice pre shave and Lime Ginger Tea Tree AS. Der Futur was smooth and efficient - I pushed this Voskhod to four shaved, thinking that since I was only shaving my neck that it should last longer. I'll go with a new blade tomorrow.

 

Good Morning everyone! Here's a look at today's SOTD;

1952 Gillette Black Tip Super Speed,(my father's razor)
1956 Gillette Blue Blade.
Kent BLK2 badger hair brush.
King Louis Lavender shaving soap.
King Louis Lavender AS Splash.
360 Red cologne.

Today's shave went off without a hitch. A DFS in my usual two passes, with minor touch up and that was all it took as you can see in the photo, dad was watching over me to make sure I did it right. RIP Dad.



Have a great day!

 

Great photo and tribute to your dad.
