Prep: Hot towel Pre shave: Prep Razor: Merkur 34C HD Blade: Permasharp Brush: 'Jade' (Rooney Heritage 2XL Jade) Soap: Barrister Reserve 'Spice' Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / Wholly Kaw: Fougere Bouquet ASB It's not very often that I get it wrong, but boy, did I drop the ball today! 'Jade' was totally the wrong brush for the Barrister Reserve, and my blade of choice really didn't work too well with the 34C, a razor which usually provides a sublime shave.... Thankfully, 'Spice' is a 'Top Tier' soap, and my face doesn't look like I had an unpleasant shave.. so it's not all bad..

Not to mention how good he looks!
I hate when that happens! But, it sounds like you toughed it out and only you know it wasn't a great shave.......wait, lots of folks know now.

Segal Razor Personna Lab Blue (modified) Frank Shaving Boar Brush Cella Shave Cream Dickinson's Witch Hazl Lucky Tiger Aspen After Shave Decided to try out one of the Lab Blues I modified for the Segal razor and the Cella shave cream @cliffb599 sent me. In one word, nice, as the Cella performed very well and the shave was great. Two passes with a little touch up for a very smooth and comfortable BBS shave. In case you're interested in my modification of the blade......... http://theshaveden.com/forums/threa...lades-for-the-segal-razor.58900/#post-1392398
SE Sunday's Shave Old Spice Original TOST LE Synthetic Gem Jr. 1905 Lather Catcher Original Gem Jr. SE Blade CWR Thayer's Lemon WH Aqua Velva Musk I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Old Spice Original Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the TOST LE Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Gem Jr. 1905 Lather Catcher Razor using an Original Gem Jr. SE Blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
RECENT SHAVES Prep: Musgo Real Oakmoss Razor: Wilkinson Sword Classic Blade: Gillette Rubie Brush: Razorock BC Plissoft Soap: Wholly Kaw Project Leather Post: SC Courage Balm Wonderful shave yesterday. Love the scent of Project Leather, it is not a straight forward leather scent, reminds me a bit of KING of Oud since both have a manly floral vibe to my nose. Lather quality is one of the best I have tried. Finished off with Courage balm. Prep: pre shave soap mix Razor: Wilkinson Sword Classic Blade: Gillette Rubie Brush: Razorock BC Plissoft Soap: Grooming Dept Aether Post: CL TSM Fougere salve Had another excellent shave this morning. Did get a bit of irritation which may have been from a few shaves ago, was going to take a day off shaving but what fun is that? Aether has a light menthol kick and the scent is unlike anything else, perhaps from the fennel but the notes blend beautifully together. Finished off with TSM Fougere salve. Very refreshing shave. Hope everyone is doing well and getting great shaves!
I had picked up a pack of Dorco/Pace disposable single blade razors a while back and finally opened it today for a test shave.Here goes......... face rinse warm water x3 Pace razor Williams soap Brass bowl Boar brush sink of cool water 3 passes wtg,atg,diagonal on the face 2 passes on the neck wtg,atg face rinse cool water MastersImpulse a/s no burn Face still has stubble you can feel but not really see,neck has visible stubble.These razors seem to be equal to 6 use SE or 5 use DE.I had poor results in the past with Dorco products but had heard they had upped their game......not so much IMO.I'm not sure I would carry these as a travel razor.Good thing I am sitting at home tonight or I would have to do a touch up with a regular razor.
