SOS: May 2019

Thank you my friend. I'll do as you suggest.

 

Thank you for your very kind words.

 

What mean this 'stop their...purchases'? ;-) Thanks for the compliments gentlemen.

 

Thanks. The 1888 and Vespero are the most recent, both are quite unique, the Vespero is definitely worth checking out.

 

The lines on @TestDepth ’s W&B inspired me to pull out my Lund. A top notch, wonderful shave as always.

Sorry for the late SOTD post, had a very hectic day. Beautiful shave from the fatip piccolo and the arko, i still can't get over how fantastic that stuff is. The omega 49 is fantastic at holding lather, such a fantastic brush. The Wilkinson sword cut through hairs like butter, much better than the last shave, its a very very good blade for sure.

First shave using a super speed. Only word that comes to mind is awesome. I love this thing. Very smooth. I'd grab this over the Edwin jagger every time.

Yesterday's shave wasn't good. Much better today for sure. A new blade sure makes a difference and I got a much better lather. The limited edition Morning TOST shave soap really smells great too! My face is very happy so y'all need to go enjoy your day folks

Excellent and well needed shave. Two passes with a little touch up for a great BBS shave.

 

The timeless bronze was up on deck again and this time the shave was really good. But man is it worth it when you have to watch every stroke? ..... jury still out on whether it stays or goes.

 

Congrats!
If you decide to keep the razor I'm sure the shaves will get better and easier with each use.
Good luck!

Nothing fancy about tomorrow's(Thursday)-shave.....coming right back with the Bay Rum double-play(Jeeves&Stephan). One change, though:

Brush-Crown King Spindle Duro Tali*

Haven't used this one in quite a while.

 

The travelling shaver! On the road and of course that necessitates minimizing the kit but not the quality. Today’s shave is a perfect example. The trusty 34G was packed up and made the journey with me and though I had quite a few days worth of growth, made quick work of the matter. I am loving the Gillette Silver Blues and they give just a bit more than the Personna Lab Blues in my opinion. This combo is pretty good indeed.

Soap of the trip is the TFS Ginestra di Taormina which I tried out a couple of weeks ago and for a business setting, this scent can’t be beat. Subtle but fantastic and literally a stellar performer. The Yaqi Sagrada Familia 24mm tuxedo is a perfect travel brush and this knot and handle size is quite nice for face lathering up a storm!

A fine three pass shave and a BBS finish! Fine suit, shiny shoes...a little squirt of Stirling Executive Man EDT and the day is conquered! Yup THIS was Supermodel!

Happy shaves all...
