  4. Monday DECember 2

    First shave of the month. Not sure what my focus is yet but starting with a razor and brush that are new to me.

    Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
    Soap - MWF
    Brush - 30DC
    Blade - GEM SS SE (1)
    Razor - TNNSER 3D Clear
    Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, RR Barbershop Blue A/S

    Shave rating 5 of 5

    5 days since last shave and I wanted to give these 2 new tools a try. I've got TNNSER 3D's in 2 other colors so was pretty confident in the shave I would get. Wasn't sure about the brush. I really like the handle but this is my first synthetic and I've never lathered with a synthetic. Well, it lathered really well and applied the lather well too. Maybe I won't have to replace the knot. I did a 2 pass shave, WTG and XTG and both passes were excellent, finished BBS. The MWF lathered really well as usual. The alum was a little vocal in a couple spots. Finished up with the Barbershop Blue A/S - I like this scent, just wish it lasted a little longer.

    Happy DECember and great shaves everyone.

  5. Very nice, Ken! Congrats on the new tools! I have two of the 30DC meet up brushes. One with the synthetic bulb like yours and one that I put a Maggards SHD badger. Love them both. @jtspartan did a wonderful job making them.
  6. A little research showed me that my Agadir A.S. is an easy option for a Throwback Shave day. Oud Wood began around 1400 BC.
