SOS: May 2018

Razor handle? No it's Matador
Brush? No it's vintage. I only light sanded and dipped the wooden part in polyurethane stain. I left the vintage knot, it gave a very curious performance. Different and impressive. It was floppy ish at first, but after the end splayed a bit, it did really well.

A very masculine shave with the Vision wide open throughout. Very close, but not as comfortable as the Rockwell, or the Vision dialed down. Bon Vivant is a very nice compliment and leaves my skin feeling great.

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Williams Mug Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #287 brush. I did two passes with the Pal Injecto-Matic Razor with 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 Barbasol AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Personna blade

Italian Barber Amici
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill PSB

First shave with The Hussy. The head design and feel reminds be a lot of The Bunny, or The Bunny reminds me a lot of The Hussy. The rectangular handle was a little awkward on the XTG pass but otherwise felt great. Three passes left me just short of BBS. I finished off with some Stirling Glacial lemon Chill PSB for my daily face freeze. I will have to scrape the remaining Amici from the sides of the tin and redeposit them in the middle for its last shave. Have a great day my friends!

 

Beautiful shot of the Super Speed Joseph!

 

3 passes with the Pipe Razor last night. Had to send it back to the CrOx before this shave as it was becoming dull. Much better now - did get my chin once though. Went for an aftershave lotion and a balm for its moisturing qualities, which i usually don't do.
