Saturday morning:

Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Gillette day 7
Bundubeard Kudu’s Kick SS
Prep ASB
Max Refreshing AS Splash
Yves Saint Laurent Pour Homme EdT

I can’t believe how I managed to get such a great shave with a blade that’s ready for the garbage can but I did it somehow. It took three passes and a lot of touching up. The Kudu soap felt damned cold, especially during the second and third passes and the lather was so thick and meringue-like with that beautiful coffee/peppermint scent and the postshave feeling was so comfortable. The Prep gave me its awesome moisturizing and soothing, while the Max Refreshing aftershave from Bulgaria went on icy-cold with hardly any sting. BBS as BBS could be!

 

I live in Acton now . To get to 495 I drive through Littleton. Nice towns.

WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)

Route 66 Bourbon Jungle today. 20 seconds to load the Elite Razor Manchurian White brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Gillette Silver Blue still in the Maggard V2 Open Comb. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Stirling Executive Man aftershave.

Saturday Straights' Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Amalfi Basil Lemon
Jayaruh #367 Badger/Boar
Kamisori
Feather Artist Club
CWR
Pinaud Lilac Vegetal

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Vintage Life Amalfi Basil Lemon Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #367 Badger/Boar brush. I did two passes with the Kamisori shavette razor with a Feather Artist Club blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Pinaud Lilac Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

As is every Saturday, Barbasol Pacific Rush!

 

Thank you very much gentlemen - you're too kind!

 

Razor: Above The Tie Bamboo Handle SE1
Blade: Feather Professional (1)
Brush: Shavemac Zebra, Honeycomb 2 Band Badger
Soap: Captain's Choice Bay Rum
Aftershave: Captain's Choice Bay Rum

Got some rain this week, but not to much. Excellent shave with the Above the Tie SE1. I think my favorite SE blade is the Feather Professional, it never disappoints.

 

Pre: Warm water splash
Brush: Cyril.R. Salter Travel PB
Soap: Cyril.R. Salter Tallow
Razor: Leresche 34
Blade: Polsilver Łódź
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Puig Quorum ASL

Considering how light this aluminium wonder is, it's very effective with no pressure required.
The Salter soap always puts a smile on my face and leaves the skin well nourished.
Happy Shaving one and all.

 

Good picture and setup Kevin.

 

Thank you, both, for your kind words, gentlemen.
