  2. Today's shave was with two of @Jayaruh 's razors, I just honed and tested. Both equally sharp, and both provided a very smooth 2 pass shave, with near BBS results. The smaller Torrey was a silent whisker whacker, and the Henckels was noisy as ever. I really enjoyed the Torrey the most, even if the other was larger, Full Hollow grind.

    Razors:
    J.R.Torrey Razor Co. 1/4 Hollow
    J.A.Henckels, full Hollow
    Brush- B400 By Tom
    Soap- Arko/Sandalwood
    Aftershave- Pinaud Clubman

    Thursday's Shave
    zcws.gif

    Proraso Pre Shave
    Musgo Real
    TOST LE Synthetic
    Bunny V3 Injector
    Schick Proline B-20
    CWR
    Thayer's Lemon WH
    Aqua Velva Ice Blue

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Musgo Real Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the TOST LE Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Bunny V3 Injector Razor using a Schick Proline B-20 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 Ice Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

  9. 1930 Wilkinson Empire/Feather SE. New in the den so had to take it for a quick evening spin. Tricky finding the angles on my head but not too bad on the beard. Hard to imagine as a daily driver but good close shave absent any carnage. Fun for sure.[​IMG]

  16. Favorite February

    February 21 - A week with Tabac - Day 1

    Razor - Gem MMOC
    Blade - [​IMG] ASR Carbon - CVS (2)
    Soap - Tabac
    Brush - Wolf Whiskers Custom Silvertip
    Post - Alum

    After five days of a week with the Fat I'm switching to Tabac for day one of its week. Yes, I still owe the Fat 2 days. I won't forget. There is a method to my madness. Or else my madness is just my method. Whichever is easier to understand or ignore, your choice.

    Fine two pass and touch up shave tonight. We went out to dinner when I got off work and I had a fine rack of ribs and my wife had a marvelous Sirloin steak nice and rare. I nearly passed on shaving but decided I had to stay committed to 30 days. I'm glad I did. The Wolf and Tabac provided a magnificent lather and I kept my attention on the razor. Near-BBS with no issues and quiet alum was the reward and it was well worth it.

    The weekend is finally here. Mine, anyway. I'm ready for it. I had reached the point of actually being quite angry that people would open the door at work today. How dare they think they should buy a bed. Seriously. Two days off should put me back in the right frame of mind. Big sales tend to make me a little cranky.

  17. SHAVE OF THE DAY


    Prep: Occams Crushed Lime
    Razor: Wilkinson Sword Classic
    Blade: Gillette Rubie
    Brush: Razorock BC Plissoft
    Soap: Wholly Kaw Chypre Rose Concerto
    Post: Peach Thayer's WH, Cuba Blue EDT


    Nice refreshing shave this morning. Have been on a rose kick and this is the king of rose scents, not a 1 note pony but more of a blend since there is cedarwood and other notes in the mix. Was having problems loading the SOTD pic so not sure if it's visable or not. I know I have said this before, but this Wilkinson Sword Classic razor has become my favorite razor. Super smooth, capable of BBS shaves but is mild and gentle on the skin, plus it's only like $10. Wish I had got this razor sooner and would highly recommend it for someone new to wet shaving or anyone looking for a smooth shave. Got a DFS and finished off with Cuba EDT. Hope everyone is doing well and getting great shaves!
