Feb. 20/2017 Monday Razor: Razor Rock Silver Hawk Blade: Kai Captain Titan Mild (4) Brush: VDH Badger Cream: Proraso Red AS: Old Spice Newspaper Date: Feb. 2,1944 How do my shaves keep getting better? I must have the angle dialed in. With 2 passes, WTG/ATG and careful clean-up, and the same process I did yesterday, my shave was smoother, cleaner and closer. I have to admit, the blade pulled a little when I didn`t pay attention to the angle. I don`t know how long these type blades last, surely more than 4 shaves. This mornings shave was definitely dolphin smooth. A happy camper am I. God Bless and great shaves to all. Bill

Have a great day!

Don't Panic Today is the first day of winter break, but the weather is like spring, so I went with my favorite spring scent: 42. It was an excellent shave of two days growth.

Since the scent blend has notes of Sugar Cane Rum and woods in it, I tried to get creative with the name and referenced the rum running ships that smuggled rum into the US during prohibition. I think the name has caused customers to think it is some type of Bay Rum scent. So much for my creativity ha!

Gillette Fatboy (G3) Razor Astra SP Blade Frank Shaving Badger Brush Proraso Green Soap Dickinson's Witch Hazel Barbasol Brisk After Shave During my past few shaves, I've been combining my XTG and ATG passes into one pass, depending on which direction the beard grows, and it's been working out great. Two passes with minor touch up for an excellent and smooth BBS shave today.
What a nice setup. Snazzy shave tonic. I really like that bowl it reminds of things my grandfather used to make.
I can always tell your posts without seeing your name. You sure have a knack for photography. Really nice picture as always.
