Thursday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Sterling Lime Shave Soap
Jayaruh #277
Schick Repeating Razor
Schick Proline B20
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Lucky Tiger

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Sterling Lime Shave Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #277 silvertip badger brush. I did two passes with the Schick Repeating Razor using a Schick Proline B20 blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Lucky Tiger AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Outstanding shave today. I love this scent! It's a mainstay in warmer months. Wishful thinking on a 30 degree day.

Razor: Gillette Guard
Blade: Guard Cart. (7)
Lather: Gillette Foamy
AS: Mennen Afta

A 2 pass shave, WTG/ATG with clean up and several touch ups on my neck. A very cold water rinse, topped off with Afta, and I feel clean and refreshed. Happy Camper, ready for another exciting day of retirement. May God be with each of you.

Nothin fancy, just completing the current Stirling Spice segment, but with:

Brush-WSP(Wet Shaving Products)Pure Badger

 

Parker Variant razor
Silver Star blade
VeraSoapCo Peppermint SS
Plisson/L'Occitane brush
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Barbasol Brisk A/S w/added menthol

Changed the blade for a new Silver Star blade (like these a lot) and got another marvelous shave. My face is very very happy. Now go enjoy your day folks

 

Segal Razor
Modified Lab Blue Blade
Erskine K-250 Badger Brush
Arko Shave Stick

It takes a few more strokes to complete a shave with this razor. But still managed to get a nice BBS shave in two passes and some touch up.

Last Night's Shave. Loaded the PROLINE into the SCHICK type B2 and WOW! that blade just fits it perfect (its a tiny bit shorter than the normal injector blade) - also we all know how great the proline blade is...
peace,
Jamie B.

 

Beautiful B2 Jamie!

Having been impressed with Wholly Kaw's vegan soap I was really looking forward to this and it didn't disappoint.
It's definitely one of the best soaps I've tried, my only grumble is, it's a bit heavily scented for me.
I really like the scent but just a tad strong, easily to live with when you consider the performance and post shave.
It's a very thirsty soap and easy to overload your brush but once dialed in the rewards are excellent.
The Toner is also great, as a balm would have been overkill on the nourishment front.
I must be impressed, the Streamline didn't get a mention until now.
Happy Shaving one and all.

 

Finally, I’m back home from my business road trip. Always good to be home. Shaving with disposables just left me wanting to get back to my razors. And what better way than to start it off than with a daily special. A TTO razor with a pack of 5 SS razor blades for a US $1. Bought a few of them to start a $1 razor shave off on another forum for a full week. Not to shabby to be honest. Three shaves in and it has performed better than expected. No Gillette Slim, SS or Tech but it will do in a pinch, thankfully. Who says you can’t feel like a million bucks for a $1?
