SOTD Tuesday 2/06/2018 RAZOR: Parker SR1 BLADE: Derby Professional blade - 8+ shaves on this particular blade BRUSH: Fendrihan Synthetic Brush - black "tuxedo" knot BOWL: Repurposed desert bowl PREP: Hot water wash with Ivory soap SHAVE CREAM: AXE Denim Lather Shaving Cream (with moisturizers) POST SHAVE: Hot water rinse. AFTER SHAVE: Pinaud Clubman VIBR BALM: Maison Collection Hand Lotion Blush Grapfruit (not pictured) Exquisite 2-pass shave with touchups. BBS in all places except for 1 spot under the chin (noticed later in the day). I am still perfecting technique here. I really enjoy my straight razor shaves - just not the blade prep & stropping. I can get a great shave from my shavette with 95% of the enjoyment/ 0% prep. Haven't used this cream in a LOOONG time. I prefer shave soaps. Axe is a good cream. Nice scent, good substantial lather, and NOT drying for me. The crystal verified that I did a good job - no burn, just a tingle under the chin. Happy shave, happy day!
Got it, thanks. I have been on a Bay Rum binge lately and I am surprised how many "Bay Rum" scents miss the mark (IMO)
Shovelhead (round tooth version). I got no issues here, great shaver. Can't help but wonder whether the 1909 shave is much different. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Tuesday, February 6 Dusy Kabinett~~Thäter Boar (10)~~Feather AS-D2~~Gillette SS~~DRH Pink Took a break from Bay Rum today. Thanks to @Boojum1 I have replenished my Dusy. Great scent, great soap. Have a great day!
I agree with you on missing the mark with some on the market. Bay Rum with pine, fir or juniper berries? Not for me thank you
Ever-Ready 1914 Little Lather Catcher/Jayaruh Handle Razor Personna Gem Carbon SE Blade JR #236/30mm Tuxedo Brush Tabac Shave Soap Dickinson's Witch Hazel Tabac After Shave Tabac Eau De Cologne Second shave with the Gem carbon blade from @Linuxguile, this time in the E-R Little Lather Catcher. I went with three passes and ended up with a smooth BBS shave.
Dusy smells and performs EXACTLY like Klar Kabinett. It is available here, but they do not ship overseas. I have family in Germany and they bring it to me when I ask them to. Lovely rose. Thick lather, but not as slick as tallow based soaps. Worth trying if you get an opportunity. http://www.hairshop24.com/Dusy-Men-Kabinett-Rasierseife-2x250g.htm?a=article&ProdNr=20065063
Ah ok. I have the Klar Kabinett and I love it. I was told by a guy from the Gut Rasiert group that it was originally made for a customer who was looking for a rosy-scented soap with good lather. I have a whole container here in the house. My wife loves the scent also and she wishes I'd use it more often!

As long as you have a stash of Klar, you aren't missing a thing with the Dusy. The ONLY difference is Coconut Oil vs. Palm Oil.

I don't know any German, but I'm, going to swing at this: "I have not tried Dusy product. Is it good? The Duft? The Schaum? The Hautpflege? What do you think?"
Dein Deutsch ist nicht zu schlecht! (Your German is not too bad!) Duft=Scent, Schaum=Lather, Hautpflege=Skincare.
