Dec 21st Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - PS Tube 2.0, ASB Star Jelly Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - SC, AS/C - Future Fiction 2019 30DC LE w/Omega 10089 knot Toyo Hasimoto 777 Awesome 3 pass shave later than usual this morning (finally have a weekend off ). @jtspartan handle w/Omega boar knot made a fantastic PAA CK-6 lather today, very rich and slick. Lots of fun bowl & face lathering. First pass with the Toyo 777 was a smidgeon scritchy, probably not quite enough CrOx linen and leather strop time. Second and third pass was noticeably better, with a DFS+ result today. One corner of the mouth weeper, not a big deal, stopped on it's own while shaving. Finished with PAA's Star Jelly, and then their AS/C Future Fiction. Smooth and smelling fine! Time to go finish off some shopping for the last minute gifts. Hope everyone has a great Saturday!
Terrific shave and picture, Blair! You look to be well stocked for your No Repeat PAA to start the year.
Thank you, Miles! It took diligent research to pick my safety and straight razors. I am not planning on getting any more razors in the near future. Joining the USMC is very noble of you.
Dec 21st Decedent December SR Saturday Razor: Dovo Inox Brush: Razorock Plisoft Barber 24 PS: Stirling Menthollated Pre-Shave SS &AS: Stirling Frankinsence & Myrrh Excellent 3 pass shave again this Saturday morning. Very close on my face and close enough on my neck. The Frankincense & Myrrh is a nice classic familiar smell. For some reason it brings back memories of my childhood and grandma's house.
I have zero experience with vintage soaps and very little with blooming. Maybe Joseph @Primotenore can help you out.
Razor: Gillette 1958 TV Special Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (7) Brush: H.L. Thater 4125 Black Premium White Boar Soap: Eufros Tierra Humeda Aftershave: Myrsol F/Extra Bowl: Timeless Bowl Another good shave with the TV Special Flare Tip. It is cold here, however, it is a nice sunny day.
Cool! I'm anxious to hear how the Evo synthetic compares to your other synthetic brushes. Might just push me over the edge to buy a Simpson's synthetic.
