Prep: Musgo Real Classic
Razor: Gillette Fat Handle Tech
Blade: Bolzano (2nd shave)
Brush: Razorock Plissoft
Soap: Van Yulay Oh Man
Post: Fine American Blend, Van Yulay Rugged balm



Excellent shave this afernoon. Had a strange dream last night where I was at the grocery store and they had samples of Van Yulay soap in small yogurt containers hahaha. You know you have problems when you dream about shaving. Anyways, haven't used VY soaps in a while so decided to go with the hard puck. This may be the best of their formulas IMO. Nice 2oz hard puck. Shave went well with no problems, lather held a lot of water and remained thick. Finished off with American Blend (which the wife says smells like pachouli lol). Hope everyone is doing well and getting great shaves!

awesome.....

My weekend has arrived! My plans? Pack, haul stuff to storage, pack, haul stuff to storage, you know....all that fun stuff you live for on the weekend. I bet you all wish you were me right now. Admit it.

The shave tonight was the best of the three with the Rapira Swede. The Proraso was just the right consistency, meaning I'm getting it dialed back in after not using it for a very long time. The Swede is still nice and sharp and the synthetic brush laid down a perfect lather. The baby showed up in two passes and some neck touch up and my wife is enjoying the scent of Proraso again. She always did like that eucamenthol thing it has going for it.

Tomorrow will be a switch to a different blade for 3 days and just enjoying the simplicity of these shaves. Have a great night and a better tomorrow!
