Haven’t had much time between working and a little family time, so I haven’t been posting much or really keeping up. But I was able to sneak in a great shave on Friday before I had to get back to work.
Bismarck 405 5/8
Bos soap and splash by Jeeves
Jayaruh 175
This is the second of three Bismarck Razor Works 406 razors that I have. It gave a near perfect two pass shave without any clean up really needed. I really enjoy the old Bismarck’s because they take a rediculously good edge very easily, and shave like a dream

My next shave wasn’t until Tuesday night, so with a four day growth I went to the third of the set, this one has some bad hone wear but still works very good.
Bismarck 406 5/8
Slatteroy shave cream
Jayaruh 175
Captain’s choice bay rum shave balm

This shave went fairly well other than one user error starting the atg pass, so I had a small blood payment. That should keep the shave gods happy for a little while. But other than my mess up it was enjoyable to try out the new shave cream sample and the bay rum shave balm that was so generously included with my raffle prize from Joseph
@Primotenore the cream was a little difficult to load on the brush but once it was loaded it lathered up great, and had good slickness and cushion, the bay rum shave balm also gave a great post shave feel, the scent was nice. It started out really strong smelling but faded to a nice level after a few minutes.
Hopefully work will slow down soon, having 38 hours in by the start of Wednesday is kind of rough, and then I’m going out of town working for two long days and hoping to beat the ice storm back to St. Louis.
