Friday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Old Spice Lime
The Brush B-3 by Tom, Badger
Gillette OT by Tom
Rockwell Swedish Stainless Steel
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Lucky Tiger

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Old Spice Lime Cream face-lathered well with The Brush B-3 by Tom, Badger brush. I did the two passes with the Gillette OT by Tom razor and Rockwell Swedish Stainless Steel blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Lucky Tiger AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

This mornings shave

@oscar11/ omega
Bombed Cyril R Salter French Vetiver
Above the Tie Calypso R1
Persona Crystal (3)
Crusellas Vetiver (iced)
This mornings shave was nice. The ATT R1 is an awesome razor. The lightness of it , and it's efficiency really defy understanding. I'm totally stoked about this razor. Its hard to put it down. Do any of you know how it performs compared to the stainless version? I started this morning's shave with the funk of Salter's French Vetiver, bombed the second pass. The omega did very nicely making lather from the cream. Finished with iced sweetness of Crusellas Vetiver.
Hope y'all did as well, or better.
The ATT R1 is very nice, maybe perfect.

 

Late evening shave. Heat and work was hectic. An excellent 3 pass shave, BBS all around. The Pall Mall has been an exceptional razor. Just fantastic. Have a great evening and shaves Gents.....

 

Hey thanks Jamie. You also. July has been rough with the health issues, but things have been getting better.

Time to straighten up!

July 20 - Break night


Razor - 1959 Gillette Super Speed
Blade -
Soap - Dirty Deeds Tobacco
Brush - WCS Synthetic
Post - Alum

Busy night late at work today and I had promised SWMBO we'd go out for dinner after. I'm tired and less than motivated to expend energy so the pain sticks/straights get ignored tonight in favor of an easy shave. The Super Speed and Sharp Star with Dirty Deeds - easy, fast, wonderful, great feel, BBS, doesn't get any better any easier than that.

I'll be back with the Feather SS and a new Feather blade tomorrow as the BOPS edition of the Grand Blade Trials continues! Time to vegetate! Have a great night.

Royalty! There is a reason Gillette named some razors with Royal names. One reason was the fit and finish of the razor, but the other is the shave quality of the razor. The Milord never fails to deliver an excellent shave. The 28mm Comet Silvertip whipped up the TOBS Sandalwood into a luxurious rich creamy slick lather and the Derby Premium blade sliced the whiskers. Finished with Nivea Cool Kick and Lucky Tiger AS and Face Lotion. Have a blessed day gentlemen.

Friday planned SOTD

Schick E (cdn)razor
Prototype New Forest brush
B&M Roam shaving soap
B&M Roam Koivu Aftershave

This has been my go to and only set up using Roam and its been perfect. The Canadian E type is aggressive but provides a wonderfully smooth shave.

 

Haven't used Astra for awhile, my go to prior to Permasharp, but it seemed a particularly good match for the R41 today, very smooth.
