Thanks for the review. I've been curious about L&L

Amazing Shave for the first day of school
I'm always a little nervous on the first day, even though this is my 15th one already.
Cologne Russe helped start the day right. The Bronze Shadow whipped up optimal lather very quickly and comfortably, setting my stubble up for its fate in the maw of my Futur set on five. Three drama free passes leaves me with very smooth and comfortable skin. Cologne Russe is one of my favorite scents, and I find the aftershave lasts nearly all day. Now to meet my new students.
Prep: Myrsol Emulsion
Soap: BM Cologne Russe
Brush: Brothers Bristles Bronze Shadow
Razor: Futur
Blade: Voskhod
AS: BM Cologne Russe

Thank you Jim

Thank you Doug.

 

Another great photo. Looks like you are enjoying the Gem style SE razors. They are great shavers for sure.

 

SOTD August 24, 2016

Blade: Chinese Schick
Razor: Schick G1 injector
Brush: Satin Tip 'The Purest' synthetic
Lather: Proraso Red
Post: Witch hazel splash enhanced with Skin Bracer, Nivea sensitive balm
WTG, touch-up

Continuing with good shaves from the G1 injector. Proraso Red whipped into a beautiful, effortless lather. One pass with touch-up and I'm ready for the day. I enjoyed a little Skin Bracer mixed with the witch hazel to add a little zip to that aspect of the routine, as well as a little scent.

Shave well and have a great day!

 

Thank you, Doug. Definitely a great shave!

 

Very good picture with a very cool razor.

 

Thank you, Clint. I have found a renewed enjoyment of these wonderful shavers. It's been fun.

Excellent shave with the PAL Adj. this morning loaded with a "Dutch Dangleberries" blade. Lovely scented, slick, rich lather from the PAA CiderHouse5 shave soap. Three easy breezy passes for a dolphin smooth finish. Have a great day guys.

 

No problem. I also was curious about L&L since they use bison tallow which is a bit different. The lather was pretty good, and the aftershave also seems to be a good product, the menthol A/S is strong.

 

Today
Hot water wash with nivea mens face wash and a washcloth

Weber DLC razor
Treet 7 Days blade
Maggard Synthetic brush
TSD Lemongrass SS w/2X menthol
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
TSD Lemongrass A/S w/2X menthol

Another face freezing shave for sure! Like it! The Treet is not a 7 Days blade for me. It quit working today. Didn't get harsh or tuggy/pully, just quit cutting. I will say that I really like this blade though. It's a very good blade. Still, I ended up with a very fine shave and am ready to go. Now go enjoy your day folks

 

First shave with the new to me MicroMatic Open Comb

Razor: GEM MMOC w/ GEM stainless (1)
Lather: TFS Tobacco Verde
Brush: Razorock Bruce
Post: Clubman Original

Had a darn fine shave with this excellent looking razor. The teeth look vicious, just waiting to eat through some facial hair. Kept the angle low (cap flat on face) and the pressure and it treated me just right. Near perfect BBS in three passes. Just one small weeper on the neck from losing the angle for a second. Facing my day smelling like a classic man and with a clean face. Have a great day everyone!

 

Can you imagine trying to shave when your eyes won't stop tearing? Well, that's what happened to me thanks to the Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo's insanely-potent menthol effect. The fumes had both my eyes almost closed for both passes, but I LOVED it! That Sharp Dressed Man scent, that wonderful lather, and that freeze felt heavenly. I got as smooth as silk and the Diana Menthol balm, together with the Arctique aftershave splash put a boatload of extra icicles in my face!
