    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    Great to keep up with you and the Goose this month. I definitely want one. It's on my "get it in 2016" list. Now, just take that Mongoose, turn the head on end and you essentially have a pain stick! You're on your way.:D

    11/30/2015 Menthol Monday!! Woo Hoo!!

    Prep: Hot shower with Neutrogena Face Wash with menthol, home made PSO
    Razor: Cobra Classic, Wade & Butcher Bow straight razor
    Blade: Feather Professional (6)
    Brush: HJM Black Fibre
    Soap: Barbon shave cream
    After: Home made ASB, Barbon after shave
    Cologne: Akthar Noir

    It is Menthol Monday! The HJM brush whipped the Barbon shave cream into a nice and cool lather. The Bow and the Cobra did a great job removing the 2 days worth of stubble. The Barbon AS and the Akthar Noir were a nice finish for this Darn Fine Shave +.

    Have a blessed day!

    Any chance we can get a better shot of the knot please ? I have a Rubberset with the original knot that works well. It is just small compared to my new brushes. I am not sure if I should replace it with a larger knot or not.
    I am wondering what shape and size the original one is with yours.
    Thanks

    This is a picture I took when I got it. Before I cleaned the handle. I have seen these brushes with much shorter knots. I like mine a lot.
    I hope this helps.

    SHAVE OF THE DAY
    sotd93.jpg



    PREP: SHOWER WITH CHANDRIKA SOAP AND NOXZEMA FACE WASH
    RAZOR: 1953 GILLETTE TECH
    BLADE: GSB (4TH SHAVE)
    BRUSH: RAZOROCK SYNTHETIC
    SOAP: HTGAM BAY RUM
    AFTERSHAVE: MASTERS BAY RUM (HEAVY MENTHOLATED)
    BALM: BURTS BEES BAY RUM BALM


    Had a decent 2 pass shave today. Was in a bay rum mood so I went with bay rum products. The RR brush has a dense knot and holds a ton of lather. The HTGAM made some acceptable lather, not the slickest but it was adequate and has a great scent. The Masters cooled down the skin and the Burts Bees moisturized afterwards. Hope everyone had a great day!

    Sweet Relief!
    I needed to shave off my November beard tonight because I won't have time in the morning. At first I thought der Futur might be able to cut through 30 days growth, but I quickly realized the folly. I trimmed it down and re-lathered with Old Reliable Tabac. I had prepped with PAA Ice for a nice cool, and once again Tabac delivered a superb shave with no drama and BBS. I feel like myself again.

    Wow, that is a very nice brush. The knot on mine is half the height and maybe 75% - 80% if the density. Now I have a better idea of how it should be. Oh darn time to put a nice ubersoft or ubersoft 2 in it.

    Dove Men Face Wash
    Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #30RS Silver Tip (first shave)
    DeFitch Three Piece Razor (first shave)
    Personna Super Stainless
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Lemon WH
    Pinaud Clubman AS

    The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #30RS Silver Tip brush. Two passes with my DeFitch Three Piece Razor and a Personna Super Stainless 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 Pinaud Clubman after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Razor: Merkur 38C Barber Pole
    Blade: Wilkinson (2)
    Brush: Omega 10066 Boar
    Soap: Route 66 Barbershop Hop
    A/S: TSD Iced Barber Shoppe

    Pretty good shave tonight, however, I did mess up the soap water mix. Then I dropped the brush in a sink full of water.:shocked003: I've never done that before. Finally got things sorted out and the 3 pass shave turned okay. User error. Not really in love with this razor, but hopefully over the week I'll sort that out also. The soap and A/S were great.
