    Razor - DaveOcean33 "Atlas"
    Blade - [​IMG] *3rd Shave
    Shave Brush - Gentleman's Hangar Synthetic
    Shave Stand by Robert Evans on Etsy. Must request custom project to order.
    Shave Soap - Mama Bear's "Bounty"
    Pre-shave Oil - Lather & Wood "unscented"
    Aftershave - Country Club for Men "1837"
    Post-Shave Balm - Advanced Clinicals Anti-aging Hyaluronic Acid Cream
    Deodorant - Ooh La Active Organics "Lemon-Mint"
    Fragrance - Creed Royal Water

    Since Mama Bear's Soap is glycerine, so I'm going to stick to the pre-shave oil and skip the CUBE pre-shave soap. I think the best pre-shave product has got to be picked based on the shave soap type that is going to be used.
  6. very cool set up and pic sir..
  7. Thank you Doug!

    Thanks Steve!

    Soap - Arko
    Brush - Jayaruh #46
    Post - Alum

    I'm back, but I didn't wander far. As per my new schedule, Saturday was a no-shave day. That's going to be pretty much set in stone from this point on unless I take a rare Saturday off. I start late on Saturday and finish , well, very early Sunday morning, so the shave goes bye-bye.

    I picked it back up tonight with the Type M Schick Injector opened up to full exposure with a Schick blade. Jayaruh brush with the Arko for an easy and excellent lather. Three passes with only one small mishap that I can't explain. I felt the razor jump like it hit something on my left cheekbone and it left a small nick. Nothing a touch of Styptic didn't take care of, but the only blemish on an otherwise perfect and high level DFS (if not BBS) shave. This razor is always fun to grab since it is the same model I first started with many moons ago. MANY moons ago.

    Hope you all had a great Easter Sunday and hope your Monday starts the week out with excellence!!

  13. Still, hands down the best looking brush handle I've ever seen man. And you keep it in mint shape. It still looks newly polished.
  14. Thanks Gary!
  15. Fresh from an edge touch-up the Sunday Shaver.

    Stirling pre-shave soap. Using a sample. I can't say if it has any effect on my shaves, but I'm pretty sure I'd buy some if my practice wasn't showering before I shave.

    Siirling Glacial Black Cherry. Great menthol blast, but too close to a cough drop smell for a repurchase. Stirling Tuxedo is my most used brush.

    The right amount of sensation with alum.

    Stirling Deep Blue Sea has earned it's way to the Max Headroom list of Most Glorious Stanks.

    Great shave.

    Soap: Arko shave stick
    Brush: dischem synthetic.

    I am really enjoying the final series of Game Of Thrones. Much of it was filmed within a few miles of where I used to live so this set up will be the basis of my Menthol Monday shaves for the duration of the series. Winter has come and Glacial is certainly an apt description!
