Shave Den Sunday

Sunday Shower/Shave

Shower- Noxzema facial cleaner, Dr. Bronner's All-One Hemp Citrus bar soap
Brush- RazoRock Tri-Colored
Razor- Muhle R41 on a Maggard MR5 handle
Blade- Voskhod (1)
Soap- Route 66 Barbershop Hop with M-Bomb
Post Care- Thayers Witch Hazel with grapefruit EO and M-Bomb
Hugo Boss cologne

Not the greatest shave today. I used a brand new Voskhod, took my time and rode the cap but ended up with a few weepers but a DFS. It might be a bad blade as I had better performance last month from this brand. I'll try another tomorrow but for now the GSB is still king. The Route 66 lathered wonderfully and I used a lot of M-Bomb trying to escape this Phoenix heat. It worked momentarily. Have a great day folks!

 

How about that Longs Peak story, eh?

 

Good one! Those guys will never live that down. Live pic, on approach, Longs Peak from a 737-300

 

hey, that's a beauty! I did that baby twice was enough. .

SHAVE DEN SUNDAY

Unseasonable hot weather in Seattle = 90+
So I'm choosing another cold water shave.

Cool shower, cold water shave.
Razor: 1965-80 Schick Type L1/L7
Blade: Schick (China)
Brush: Stirling Kong synthetic
Soap: TSD Yin Yang, M-bombed
TSD Witch Hazel
AS: TSD Yin Yang



Two-day growth, two-pass shave - XTG, ATG

Second shave with the L7, but I decided to try the L1 at the same time since they look very similar. L1 on right side, L7 on left.

Great reduction on first pass with both razors. 2nd pass left me mostly dolphin smooth with no touch-ups or buffing.

My face felt very cool for the rest of the hot evening. I may just continue the cold shaves for at least the rest of the summer.

Cheers!

a question about that FINE.....is it a take on Drakkar Noir, the way Stirlinsoaps' new "Stirling Noir" is?

 

It is a take on Hermes Terre d'Hermes cologne. It comes pretty close to the original and is a very nice scent.

Sunday Shower/Shave

Shower- Noxzema facial cleaner, Dr. Bronner's All-One Hemp Citrus bar soap
Brush- RazoRock Tri-Colored
Razor- The Bunny with Wild comb
Blade- Schick (5)
Soap- Route 66 Barbershop Hop
Post Care- Crystal Alum
Thayers Witch Hazel with grapefruit EO and M-Bomb
Florida Water with M-Bomb

Happy Father's Day! A glorious shave today, I think this one might have been my best ever. I loaded up the Wild comb today to tackle 3 days of growth. The blade went through my beard like a hot knife through butter. Effortless shave, no pulling or tugging, zero blood and the alum and Florida Water were both silent. This is the shave I need to replicate when the Bunny moves on. The Barbershop Hop performed flawlessly, wonderful scent and excellent protection. I took my time today and did three passes. My wife has a wonderful day planned for me. I'm getting ready to have some of the bacon maple biscuits she made yesterday. In about an hour I have a masseuse coming to the hour for an hour deep tissue massage. Then for dinner she's making me her famous ribs and potatoes. I'm a happy man today! Have a great day folks!

 

ok, thanks...not familiar with the Terre d'Hermes, but I'll look it up.
