Superb Sunday
WSP shaving cream is the best I've used. It yields optimal lather from very little load on the brush and leaves my face feeling great.

8/19/2018 Sunday


Razor: Gillette Guard
Blade: Gillette Single Edge Cartridge (8)
Lather: Neutrogena Shave Cream
AS: Mennen `afta`/ Old Spice
Bulldog: ???

So easy, one pass, WTG, with some touch ups here and there, finally got the 2 places on my neck. A real +. This little `Toy` razor is like magic (for me). It`s impossible to get the angle wrong, it lays flat against my face, no matter what. I can get 14 or 15 shaves from 1 cart. I`m really impressed with today`s shave, hoping for the same to all, God Bless.

Sunday

Soap: Chiseled Face Ghost Town Barber
Brush: Rubberset 400-3
Razor: Gillette 1904 Double Ring
Blade: Astra SP
Finished with Humphreys’ Cucumber Melon Witch Hazel

Just got the Rubberset 400-3 back from @jimjo1031 he replaced the knot and cleaned and polished it. Great brush! Lathered the Chiseled Face well. Two pass shave. Excellent Sunday morning!

 

Razor-Parker Variant
Blade-Astra SP
Brush-Simpson
Soap-Pre de Provence 63
AS-Old Spice

The Parker Variant has quickly become one of my favorite razors. I've tried settings up to 4 and it's smooth on all settings, but it gets more efficient. Although its VERY heavy, it's still one sweet ride! Today was a 1 pass DFS!

This morning I pulled out CRSW Kauai, and a Thater that I deemed “too soft” some time ago and don’t use much. What an awesome change of pace. Close, plush, drama free shave that left me almost BBS and smelling like a tropical beach. Hard to complain...

 

hello fello shavers,sunday shave.
new lc,gsb ,jr 282 brush
tobs sandalwood cream and a/s
glorios 3 pass shave, no drama, dfs
first go with a fed new lc, nice razor a little less head heavy than the common bar handle

One ATG pass with the Fatip (L'Essor handle). Very easy and effective but what kind of fun is this? I like shaving. It does work fine for me though, no irritation.

 

Karve “F” 3.5” & Derby Premium #2
Yaqi Barber Pole Tux 28mm
Shannon’s Lady Luck
Humphreys Alcoholado Maravilla
Nivea Sensitive Cooling A/S lotion
Gold Jay Z A/S splash
Gold Jay Z edt

A mid-day shave and again it’s the Karve and nothing short of brilliance. An efficient and fairly smooth shave that was done in 2 passes plus a Adam’s Apple clean up that left me BBS from ear to ear. The Shannon’s gave a silky smooth and plush lather that was pure heaven. Post shave? Awesomeness. Have a great day and great shaves Gents...

My shave plan for Monday(20th):

prep-Nivea 4 Men Bodywash(Energy)-in shower
shave-Jeeves of Hudson Bay Rum Soap
brush-Stoylin 26 MM Synthetic Pro-Hande
razor-Dorco Pace 6
A.S.-TSD Bay Rum Splash

 

That's a nice, classy, old-world looking brush. Like someone used wood from antique furniture and a 100-year old varnish recipe. I like that brush. Classy, distinguished and masculine.

 

I'd love to have a barber-pole brush someday.

 

I can see how that particular Proroaso soap goes well with that particular Stoylin aftershave .

 

That's my new challenge-to see how many shaves I can get with these new razors that have been flying my way(4 bladed, 6-bladed)
