What a wonderful shave! So smooth and close without a trace of discomfort. I liked it! Now go enjoy your day folks

 

Thank you, Roby! Have a great day!

 

With the warm weather and the release of the movie Baywatch, I thought it appropriate to use The Beach as a shave soap. What other razor could one use when at the beach but the RR Jaws (big, strong, aggressive) loaded with what else but a Shark. The one brush in my den suitable for this excursion would be the sexy little Vulfix Badger, to finish off this adventure, a generous splash of Mennen Skin Bracer. Now I am ready to go forth and fight my daily battles. Have a blessed day gentlemen

SOTD Follow up:
After half of a pass, I abandoned the twice used Personna Med Prep, in favor of a Polsilver SI. Much less dragging. The '52 Super-Speed head is not my favorite. Riding the cap has a very small sweet spot, and if you're not in it, you're in "scrape" rather than "slice" mode. Anyone else feel similarly?

 

Awesome pictures!

Soap - Route 66 frozen margarita

A/S - proraso green / frozen margarita balm

What a great shaaaave! Damn I'm loving these soaps! Now I'll be honest the margarita is a little intense.. that lime sec/salt/ tequila is all up in your face.. and it smells exactly like a margarita . So if your not a margarita fan.... just thought I'd let you know. But lol I could of sworn I got a little buzzed from the soap.. . But the soap was so slick. I had a very airy lather and I think it was the brush that contributed to it. This brush is huuuuge and dense so I probably should of loaded a little longer. In the end the razor , blade, soap all came together and provided a bbs smoooth shave.

 

Glad you're liking Route 66!

Fantastic shave this morning. The scent from this combo is wonderful; more floral than I typically like but it has a pleasant dry down. It has great performance and is a nice change of pace for me. I'm getting better with the Chimera, doing ATG passes now. Three passes today and a DFS was the result. Have a great day folks!

 

Very very good shave! MLSW is excellent stuff.
