SOS: April 2019

Pre: Warm water splash
Brush: WDC-8 Maseto 24mm 2BF
Soap: Eufros Badass
Razor: Seygus Zeppelin (pass around)
Blade: Astra SP
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Pitralon Classic ASL

Best shave yet with the steel Zeppelin, proving it's not a lead balloon.
Moving the handle towards the ground slightly, improved its efficiency significantly.
Happy Shaving one and all.

 

Solid shave David.

 

LOL! Thanks, DOUGLAS!

 

Good setup with a great looking brush Brian.

 

I hope you saw the humor in that.

 

Excellent picture and photograph. I like your brush. How do you like the Maseto 24mm 2BF knot?

 

Good photo and line up @lediableocor.

 

Good looking tools Jim.

 

Good picture and year.

 

Great photo and Blue Tip Jim.

 

Cool picture and filter Jim.

 

Great looking shave Jan. I like the razor and brush handles.

 

I know Tim. I kept four of his scents in my rotation. I am truly going to miss them when they are gone!!

Soap: Stirling Sandpiper

Stirling Sandpiper today. 20 seconds to load the Cowboy Classic/Whipped Dog Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Gillette 7-O’Clock Blue SP still in the Gillette NEW SC. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Stirling Sandpiper aftershave.

Good picture with a great looking bush @celestino.

 

Saturday morning:

L’Oreal Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Wilkinson Long Handle/Rapira day 3
Bundubeard Kudu’s Kick SS
Prep ASB
Aqua Velva AS Splash

This was an absolutely dynamite shave and so easy as well as enjoyable because of my Wilkinson long handle/Rapira combination. The Kudu soap may not be as frigid as the Kameelperd but it’s still gives a hell of a nice menthol effect while it’s on your face and it’s got such great lather, with that beautiful coffee/peppermint scent. I gave myself a good massage with the Prep cream afterwards and a couple of splashes of the Aqua Velva, and then I was good to go. Two passes gave me a perfect BBS result!

Have a great Saturday!

 

Good looking shave Jeff. Happy Easter.

 

20 April 2019

Proraso White
Omega S10065
$Tree salsa bowl
Fatip Grande
Gillette 7 O'Clock (7)
Proraso Green balm

From the feel of it, this will be the last shave I'll need using the post shave balm. Three days of " facial therapy" have healed my minor irritation. So, to start my week off tomorrow, it's back to some alcohol splashes.

 

•Cooper three piece/BIG BEN
•VDH soap

2 pass BBS. The less sharp blade improves the comfort of the aggressive razor and is still very efficient. I don't feel like I've been skinned alive this time but the razor still wants to bite if the angle isn't right.

•AOS a/s balm

 

Thanks Gary

 

Spring Cleaning and a Superb Shave
It was time to clean my Vision today and naturally I wanted to use it afterwards. Tabac was the obvious choice to limit variables and evaluate how well I reassembled the razor. I used it wide open and took my time because I've been reading reviews of the r41 and thought I have an aggressive beast in my den already. I got one small weeper in an otherwise close and comfortable shave.

Rating: 5 / 5
