Pre: Warm water splash Brush: Omega 11137 Boar Soap: The Sudsy Soapery Uplift Razor: Karve CB (on loan) Blade: Gillette Nacet Post: Warm then cold water rinse, 4711 ASL A couple of firsts today, the Christopher Bradley by Karve Shaving Co. and Uplift by The Sudsy Soapery. This is a marvelous little razor, smooth, efficient, well balanced and attractive, yes I'm still talking about the KCB, now I know why it has so many fans. When I found out one of my favourite veggie soaps had made a tallow version I had to try it, even though someone on YouTube had said it smells like Lemon Pledge. I'd describe it as a slightly less sweet, creamy Lemon Sherbet. I really like the performance and the post shave is also excellent and even though it's definitely a summer soap, it'll see action over autumn and winter unless of course they release another scent. Have a great weekend.
Saturday Straights' Shave Cold Water Wash De Vergulde Hand Shaving Soap Alpha T-400 Silvertip Badger Wade & Butcher 5/8 CWR Clubman Pinaud AS My prep was just a cold water rinse. The De Vergulde Hand Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Alpha T-400 Silvertip Badger brush. I did two passes with the Wade & Butcher 5/8 and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Clubman Pinaud AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Great lineup and I really like that you combine fragrances to finish off your shave. I think this shaving hobby and the fragrance hobby are fantastically interchangeable.

9/22/2018 Saturday Razor: Merkur 34c (2 piece) Blade: Personna Lab Blue (1) Pre Shave: DIY Lather: Proraso Red AS: Mennen AFTA/ Mennen Skin Bracer My first shave with a non pivot razor in awhile. Really felt good (like old times). A 2 pass, WTG/ATG with some touch ups. Some small shakes on the first pass, 2 small weepers, the cold water took care of them. Pretty smooth on the 2nd pass as long as I went slow and precise. As great as the `Guard` is, I still want to shave like a kid of 40 or 50 again. As for the shave itself, a definite BBS, even got the wild hairs on my neck. `Happy Days Are Here Again`. God Bless each of you with as great a shave as mine. Bill
Very Fine shave, if even on a sad endeavor. Y'all pray for my mother please. She's in need of a stay in a nursing facility, hopefully short term for physical therapy. She has several problems stemming from diabetes and a-fib, add Crohn's, and an uphill struggle to regain normal health. It aches me to see my Mom in such a weak state. Thanks in advance for prayers. Today I had, Hot water wash Alpha T-400/silvertip Fine Lavender por homme Grand Shave King self lubricating razor Astra sp (2) Crusella&co Lavanda Dr. Teal's lavender body lotion Fine Lavender por homme aftershave (Not in pic) Polo 2 red I made a nice lather, made my three passes with the GSK. It felt uber light compared to the heavy metal gear I've been using. Iforget how loud the little GSK is. But it decimated any trade of stubble I had. Next I got a wash of cold water and a crusella lavanda rinse. I rubbed with the lotion and left it while I brushed teeth. Towel off and a final spash of Fine. Spritz of polo, dress and I'm physical ready, mentally I'm putting on the best face I can. Hope y'all got as good a shave, or better. Gotta cherish the moments we have, the alternative is difficult to face.
Razor: Ever-Ready SE w/case 2 Blade Banks Blade: Personna GEM Brush: El Druida Mopane 2 Band Badger. Soap: Stirling Cool A/S: Stirling Eucalyptus Mint Another outstanding shave. The Ever-Ready performed perfectly, while the soap, brush, and aftershave worked to perfection. No doubt a BBS shave.

Game Changer 84/Supermax BDT (1). First shave seems a bit less efficient than the Karve D or Blackbird but it's way way smoother than both, and I prefer the weight and balance of the GC with the de-knobbed Halo. And holy cannoli is this thing good looking. Very pleased.
Thanks! Glad people like how my sets look. I put a lot of effort into finding all the items for them and getting custom work done.
