February 26,2018 Monday Featured below, are to me the main ingredients to a really great shave (including the Dog) : Razor Blade(s) Lather This Morning`s shave, with these implements gave me an almost perfect shave. As far as all the prep. (very important), you can use different items, to change or break the monotony, whatever. To me, it`s razor, blade and lather. A good brush is important, just my opinion. Bill
My shave for Tuesday: L'Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Super Speed/Astra day 2 RVT Frosty Bay Rum SS Krampert's Bay Rum AS Splash Aramis EdT Back to Durban, South Africa for tomorrow morning!
I've been agonizing a bit about the pre-order Rockwell Model T. Looks great, great price. So fresh Nacet in the 6C, 6 plate. Very good shave, but not a 1+ touch ups head shave kind of efficiency. More a relaxed 2+. I'm gonna pass I think on the T and save the $ for a Leresche 77 or Red Ring. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
I’m passing on the T as well. Personally when I saw the prototype at the big shave west , I wasn’t really diggin it then. It looked large and clunky to me. I almost bought into it at the price but I’m thinking maybe waaay down the road..
Razor - Gillette Gold Aluminum Rocket Blade - Feather (3) Brush - cedar jayaruh 260 Soap - Stirling Lounge Post - lavender witch hazel A/S - Florida water Hot damn this was a fantastic shave! Buttery smooth through out with no issues what so ever! This razor is light.. like feather light! The blade and razor combo is perfect. I didn’t even need a clean up pass.
Here it is for Tuesday(shave): Actually, just about the same animal as today-except for: A.S.-Avon 4 Men Maxwell '23 Tribute(Oldies Car)

Tabac Tuesday's Shave Proraso Pre Shave Tabac Jayaruh #105 Henckels Rapide Henckels Wedge CWR Thayer's Lemon WH Aqua Velva Ice Blue I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Tabac Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #105 two-band badger brush. I did two passes with the Henckels Rapide Razor using a Henckels Wedge 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...
