    Saturday Straights' Shave

    Keeping It Simple Week

    Williams
    Ever-Ready 200T Boar
    Luxor Pro Master
    CWR
    Aqua Velva Musk

    The Williams Mug Shave Soap face-lathered well with the Ever-Ready 200T Boar brush. I did two passes with the Luxor Pro Master Razor with an Astra SP blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

  5. Saturday

    Prep: Warm Shower-Stirling Scots Pine Sheep
    Soap: Crowne & Crane Thuringian Forest
    Razor: Gillette NEW Short Comb
    Blade: Vintage Gillette Platinum-Plus (5)
    Brush: Elite Razor/TGN Grade A Silvertip-24mmx50mm
    Aftershave: Stirling Gentleman w/Menthol

    WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)


    Crowne & Crane Thuringian Forest today. 20 seconds to load the Elite Razor/TGN Grade A Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Gillette Platinum-Plus blade still in the Gillette NEW Short Comb. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Stirling Gentleman aftershave.

  6. Here's my Saturday shave:

    L'Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Derby day 7
    First Canadian Polar Vortex SS
    Gold Bond Moisturizer
    Osage Rub AS Splash
    Acqua di Selva Cologne

    A very good BBS shave so no complaints but the Derby needs a change. The Polar Vortex is great latherer, its menthol effect is really strong but I find it lacks skincare compared to Stirling or my South African soaps so once I finish it I'll forget about it. The Rubby Dubby Doo froze me to smithereens!

    Enjoy the weekend!

    Oh man, that was an outstanding shave, on so many levels... the 34C HD/Super Iridium combo is awesome, as I've noted many times before, and I love everything about Gearhead... the performance, the scent, HELL YEAH! But what really blew me away was the scent of 'Spitfire', talk about stepping back in time.... memories of my dad, working mens clubs... the tobacco, leather, the soapy background scent.. BOOM! Phoenix & Beau got it in one! love it!
