lovely brush!

 

Slim Adjustable set to 9
Rapira Platinum Lux Blade
L'Occitane Cade Face Lathered
3 passes

Using L'Occitane Cade this morning, I came to the conclusion that it may be slicker than MDC, but definitely lacks cushioning ability.

 

Thanks!

 

Thank you!

Maggard Platinum Tobbacco & Leather today. 20 seconds to load the Thater Silvertip. Easy, thick, slick, lather. “Spoiler” in the Slim. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with CC Southern Oud.

Beautiful brush!

 

Maybe the Tech appeared a little more aggressive to me BECAUSE of the cream ... I guess I'l use the Tech again tomorrow, but with a different soap and maybe a Feather blade (I like the Feather blades in both of my other Techs).

 

Both are great! I'd go with Capri.

 

Schick I2 razor
Personna blade
FS Silver Tip brush
CO Bigelow SC
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
M&L Florida Water Cologne w/added menthol

Haven't used a badger brush for awhile and this one is a good one. But I think I'm starting to prefer synthetics. At any rate, a fine shave was had and I"m ready to go. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Prep: Hot Shower. Noxzema
Razor: Gillette Super Speed Flare Tip 1959 E1
Blade: Personna Lab Blue
Lather: Pré de Provence No 63
Brush: Semogue 610
Post: Thayers Cucumber WH. Gold Bond Ultimate
Aftershave: Fine L'Orange Noir
Having as many soaps as I do I often neglect some of them and PdP No 63 is one, darn I love this soap! Wonderful lather I get from it. The Semogue 610 holds more lather than the Semogue 830 in my non-scientific experiment. Once again the SS shines like the classic razor it is.

THURSDAY
My first shave this morning using this uniquely-styled, vintage (late 19th-early20th century) Sheffield frameback from Geo. Wostenholm & Sons.
L'Occitane 'Cade' soap, TGN Synthetic with olive wood handle, and Route 66 'Sweeney Todd' aftershave balm finish. Nimble razor and near-BBS results!
Have a great Thursday, all!

 

Bob, nice change in background! Looks great!

Lather: Anne Bonny

JR13 brush
Today I had so much lather I didn't know what to do with it all. It was super slick and had gorgeous peaks. This bay rum is just phenomenal, love the black tea and lime that is in it. Compared to some of my other soaps, it's smell is much stronger when lathered, it's great smelling it while you are shaving. First pass was WTG then two XTG passes in opposite direction, all passes on neck were WTG, then a little clean up. Ended with my first BBS shave since I started wet shaving. The lime aftershave paired very well with the bay rum. Have a great day everyone filled with great shaves

 

Thank you!
