    SOTD 5-24-16

    Gold Dollar 66
    Catie's Bubbles LPV
    Perfecto Badger brush
    Wolfman WR1-SB w/fresh Astra SP (for clean up).

    I was very fortunate to get a GD 66 to tryout that was honed by a brother on an Ozuku Asagi as a finisher after the 3k and I liked the edge/shave quite a bit. The shave was very nice. the razor felt sharp but also smooth or maybe the word is "keen" so I was able to mow down a couple of days growth with two passes (WTG and ATG) with very little clean up that my Wolfman DE made short work of. No nicks/cuts just a smooth DFS!

    I was quite happy with the shave today as it was about my 6th straight one. The razor and of course the soap didn't let me down at all. I was worried about the soap scent being too strong as I hate strong scented soaps but the soap was great!

    Now that I have my razors back from another brother and that he was kind enough to give them a fresh hone and he finished them on three different stones so I will get to try out some other finished edges. Very Cool for sure! Now with a fresh hone I can start my honing experience with just trying to maintain these ones while I practice full honing on a practice razor I have.

    Thx.

    MONDAY & TUESDAY SHAVE
    20160524_181800.jpg

    Prep: Occams crushed lime
    Razor: Gillette Fatboy (5)
    Blade: Big Ben (4th shave)
    Brush: Omega s synthetic
    Soap: Chiseled Face- Sante Paula (bombed)
    Post: Osage Rub/ Denim aftershave


    2 pass shave, did not have time to post yesterday, so I combined yesterday and today's shave. The scent of the new Chiseled Face soap is a bright citrus. Whipped up a nice creamy lather. The blade was tugging a bit, so I got a few red lines across my neck. Finished off with Denim.


    20160524_181557.jpg


    Prep: Occams crushed lime
    Razor: Gillette Tech
    Blade: Crown Super Stainless (1st shave)
    Brush: Maggard 24mm synthetic
    Soap: Dr. Jon's Bandit
    Post: Fine- Santal Absolut


    Another 2 pass afternoon shave. The Bandit has a bright citrus/ ozone scent, very fresh scent, it may be the Patchouli or whiskey that anchor the scent in, but I can't pick up individual notes, but they blend together to make a very nice scent. First time with the Crown Blade and it wasn't bad. Pretty smooth for a unknown blade, have had bad luck with some of the blade from the sampler. Finished with the new Fine scent. Wonderful! It smells exactly like AOS Sandalwood soap. Very nice scent. Hope everyone had a great shave!

    Dove Men Face Wash
    TOBS Lavender
    Jayaruh #18
    Eversharp-Schick G1
    Schick SS
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Rose Petal WH
    Pinaud Clubman

    The Taylor of Old Bond Street Lavender Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #18 silvertip badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Eversharp-Schick G1 razor with a Schick Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Pinaud Clubman. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    WEDNESDAY
    Evening Shave for Tomorrow
    Back to work early in the morning so an evening shave was in order. The old reliable DD Goldedge provided a smooth, comfortable, 'expected' shave. I really like the woodsy/cedar/pineapple scent of 'Lumberjack' soap and balm from Route 66. The aftershave balm moisturizes without feeling greasy and is quickly absorbed. A more-than-satisfactory shave!
    Have a Happy Hump Day, all!

    A really relaxing shave this morning. At least as relaxing as a work morning can be. The Zenith Boar whipped up the Mystic Water Lavender easily. This puck of MW Lavender is just about done so it I will be using it often over the next couple of weeks. The Mongoose/Feather Super combo took care of the stubble with little effort. Finished off with a splash of Fine L'Orange. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

    Strawberry Fields Forever
    Exemplary shave with Night Music this morning. Nearly instant thick lather built up on my face and cushioned three drama free passes with the Futur on five. The Proraso white provided a nice cooling effect. I finished up with Night Music aftershave to carry the excellent naughty strawberry scent. I enjoy the dry down and how long it lasts, not to mention the solid skincare aspect.
    Prep: Proraso White
    Soap: B&M Night Music
    Brush: Futur
    Razor: Futur
    Blade: Voskhod
    AS: B&M Night Music
