SOTD June 10th

Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
EDRIO# 78 Schick E3
Unknown used blade
Paladin Winston (26mm, Frigate Class)
Blackship Grooming 'Queen Anne's Revenge' soap and AS

I got this soap because I saw pineapple in the scent description, and you all know how much I love pineapple. I did some research online and couldn't determine if it was an Aventus dupe or not so I went ahead and ordered it. Yep sure enough, smells like Aventus. This version has a little more woodsyness in the base when it dries down and is quite nice. The soap is s vegan base and as such won't get to that thick goopy consistency that tallow bases do. The lather ended up being light and creamy but was fantastically slick. The blade that was in this razor was well past it's prime and though the shave was smooth the results weren't quite up to par. I did four full passes and still only ended up with a CCS. No sting from the AS and the scent is still going strong! Have a great day my friends!

June 10th

Proraso PS Red
Husgen & Ern straight
Zenith Boar
TOBS Sandalwood SC
TOBS Sandalwood AS Gel

3 pass DFS- today. Always the lower right neck that is troublesome. First time using the NOS Husgen & Ern High Class straight. Came freshly honed by Beardknife. Did it's time on the strop, and plinked every hair it touched. Went very slow and steady today, as this puppy is sharp. Didn't want to have any spillage of crimson. It's in incredible condition, only one spot on the blade, and a few marks of rotation at the pin. Definitely was someone's collectible, but that's not me. Gotta use 'em.

The TOBS Sandalwood SC....finished the container! It's the first SC I purchased back in mid January. Performance was extremely nice, whipped into a creamy lather by one of my favorite boar brushes. I'll eventually purchase this SC again (a favorite aroma), but need to finish a few others first...gots to have room. To finish off, the TOBS Sandalwood AS Gel....no feedback....it's pretty mild, but oh so lovely scent.

Hope everyone is having a magnificent Monday!

June Basics - Citrus Sunday into Menthol Monday

TSS/Ginger's Garden Acqua di Florida SS
T-400 badger by @Vlasta
Suribachi & cool water
Univinlions Salon razor
Feather AC Professional blade
M&L Florida Water & Osage Rub AS
View attachment 196674 Slipped a day on my every other schedule. Could have been Citrus so I put 5-6 drops of The Rub in the bowl and made it Menthol. Easy tallow lather in that smells just like the AS scent from The Shaving Shop. They used to be a distributor of special blended scents by several Artisans , but now seem to be exclusively Ariana & Evans products. Slick lather in the bowl whipped up using the Rubberset 400 replica by TSD member Steve. Fourth use of the Artist Club blade and it still feels sharp since it took down three days beard with no hesitation. Two passes - N to S and back again using both hands. I used the kamishavette carefully around my chin trying for new grips to get the stubble but leave the skin. No errors, CCS over 90% of my face. Mixed the Florida Water and Rub in my hand and splashed it around, but only where I shave my face. Well, some *might* have gotten on my grandson, but you can't prove it.
Good Shaves Y'all!

Thanks Joe! I had no irritation and I still looked presentable so I'm not complaining. And it gives me a little more stubble to shave off tomorrow!

Good post, Rick.

I asked this question in the shave cream thread, but no body bit.

What does Lea professional shave cream smell like? Is it cologney? Is it mild? I like the way Ingram’s smells and it’s mild. Is Lea professional anything like that?

Thanks in advance for your input!

It kept me out until 11:00 or so, which is much later than my bed time. But, you are right, the alternative could have been a big emergency that required me to be out there all night. I'll take the round trip for nothing.

I'm glad things turned out well, Jim. Sorry you had a short night, though. Hopefully, this will be a smooth week for you.

LOL!
Thanks a lot Joe!
Well, I'm healing ok but it did hurt a little.
Lucky me, it didn't hurt the shave .

What "Basics" will you use for "Just the Basics June"?

Basic soaps. Arko, Williams, you know, the good stuff.

Basic razors. Weishi, Techs, Superspeeds, you know, the good stuff.

Basic brushes. VDH boar, you know, the good stuff.

Basic aftershaves. Aqua Velva, Clubman, The Veg, you know, the good stuff.

I'm using a whole bunch of stuff and I don't care if it's basic or not!

Straight razors. Basic enough for you?

Cookies and Ice Cream for me, thank you very much.

I'll tell you at the meet up. Save me a brush.
