Love The Fat! Always a great day of shaving when you have Mitchell's and it's beautiful, luxuriant, and slick lather to shave off. The Black Hawk was quite effective and the Fine American Blend splash finished it all of nicely. Top notch shave.

Have a great Friday!

Marvelous shave with the Gillette Sensor 5 this morning. Three passes for a dolphin smooth and refreshing finish. Enjoy your day friends.

 

Great photo Jim!

 

Great photo! Hope you're doing well in your new Texas setting.

 

Beautiful picture!

 

Thank you Perry and Texas has been wonderful thus far. Have a great day buddy.

 

Great picture, Roby!

 

Thank you, buddy! Have a great Friday!

 

I smell awesome, I look awesome, (just kidding!) and I feel awesome after getting such a bone-chillingly cold shave from the Glacial Lemon Chill soap. My Plissoft synthetic is a master lather-maker and it whipped enough suds for me to do even five passes, although I only needed three to accomplish my mission. The Glacial Unscented balm, together with the Lemon Chill witch hazel added an unbelievable freeze of their own. What a great shave!

Wishing y'all a fantastic weekend!

Lots of very cool brushes and excellent pics today! Nice work, gentlemen.

 

Well the straight learning continues as 2 WTG passes with the JR108 boar whipping up the Stirling Orange Chill into a nice lather. I'm getting comfortable enough with the angles, grip and blade movement on the WTG passes that I decided to try an XTG pass, but the angles seemed too weird, so I went with an ATG pass instead. It ended up fine, but having to figure out new angles and the lack of muscle memory was almost like starting over again. I think I'm gonna pull out the shavette @RyX sent me for MAYhem and start figuring out angles and strokes for XTG and ATG sans blade. Tips and suggestions from those more leaned than me in the dark ways are always welcome.

 

Good morning friends,
I wanted a nice summer shave, not overpowering, I most definitely achieve that with essential oil of lime. Loaded the RazoRock Ti  Baby Smooth with a Polsilver, great blade. I really like the Beehive brush, would love a couple of different knots in it.
For some reason it feels like Friday.
