Marvelous shave with the Schick Xtreme3 this morning. Three passes for a dolphin smooth and refreshing finish. Enjoy your day friends.

 

Thank you, Roby! Have a great day, buddy.

 

Great picture! Every thing going well for you so far in Texas?

Brush: Artisan badger
Lather: RazoRock Puros
Post: Witch hazel splash, Speick aftershave
WTG, touch-up

Smooth and comfortable shave with the Schick adjustable. I went with setting 7 and found it to be terrific. The Puros whipped up into terrific lather, but the post shave feel isn't all that great - not bad, but not terrific either. It feels a little drying on me. But the scent is nice and smoky and it led to a nice shave in the end.

Have a great day!

 

Thanks buddy and yes. Loving it so far.

Bulgaria makes some of the best creams I've ever used. This Top Ten Sensitive cream is a real treat. It's scent is so nice, it's a joy to lather, and you get a very good cooling sensation with a very soothing post-shave feel. The Max Refreshing aftershave is downright cold, smells awesome, and feels so good. My shave couldn't have been better!

Back to my Edwin Jagger DES86 which unfortunately is my best shaving razor. I say this because I really like using my vintage Gillette's but this razor just shaves so darn well (YMMV). Today I paired the EJ w/Pol-Silver SI (5) and got a fantastic shave. RazoRock XXX soap, Duke 2 Best, Witch hazel and a splash of Floid Vigoroso aftershave..........

Today's shave used a sample I found yesterday in the back of my vanity; Trumper "Spanish Leather". It was a little hard, so I brought out the 10098 to deal with it.
The big hog beat the hardened cream into a great smelling lather. The scent sort of reminded me of English Leather A/S. The Stubble Assassin, aka NEW SC/GSB, made my weekday whiskers disappear with a masterful 2.5 pass WWS. Some post care and a splash of Speick A/S from my sampler and the day was underway. Happy Tuesday!

 

Day 26 of 30 days of straights

I had a major victory today. to some it may seem minor, but I am claiming victory. My face does not hurt after my shave today. Not only did I not cut myself, but I also managed a truly BBS shave without any significant irritation. I even went the last pass against the grain. I am learning.

3 passes with no nicks, cuts, weepers or irritation.

Hey brother, great job! Not a SR guy, but it's great to hear that people are mastering their gear.

 

I understood...

 

Nothing wrong with your favorite razor. I love vintage Gillettes. To look at. To shave with? Not so much.

First time using First Canadian Shave Soap Loretto Lime Rosemary, wow!! Beautiful Lime Rosemary scent, the lather was slick and protective. I'm such a fan of this Stirling brush. The Timeless Razor is such a beautiful piece of shaving gear. Such attention to detail was given.

 

Roger, What knot is in your Culmak ? It looks amazing!
