Thursday's Shave Cold Water Rinse Morning TOST TOST LE TNNSER 3D Gem CS SE CWR Dove Men+Care Post Shave Balm Up early this morning. The wife has an early doctor appointment. My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Morning TOST Shave Soap face lathered well with the TOST LE Brush. I did just one pass and touch ups with the TNNSER 3D razor with a Gem CS SE Blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Dove Men+Care Post Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
Close But Uncomfortable I used the Maggard slant head on my Rockwell 2c handle and it was a close shave, and comfortable for the first pass. After that, it got a bit harsh and I got several weepers. Perhaps my technique is rusty for slants right now. Rating: 3.5 / 5 Razor: Maggard/Rockwell Slant/Chrome handle Blade: Rapira Super Stainless Brush: Lutin Chubby Lightning Pre-Shave: PAA Cube 2.0 Menthol Lather: B&M Vespers Aftershave: B&M Vespers Additional Care: PAA Mysterium Serum Menthol
Thursday morning: Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Super Speed/Shark day 5 Gold Dachs Spezial SS Prep ASB Booster Mosswood AS Splash This Gold Dachs Spezial is one of the most elegant (and expensive) soaps I have - it comes from Germany and there’s only one store here in Montreal that carries it occasionally. It’s got a really beautiful old school scent with fabulous lather which whips up so easily and it’s very skin friendly. I enjoyed the massage with the Prep as well as the delightful barbershop scent of the Booster Mosswood aftershave. Three passes delivered a super smooth result!
You guys have posted lots of great pics here. Always nice to catch up and see the photos. And the reports as well

Thank you. We have a large skateboard park under an overpass in the city that is full of ever-changing graffiti art. I really enjoy taking photos there as I never know what I will find when I arrive and the colours and art can be quite beautiful.
