    SHAVE OF THE DAY


    Razor: Schick Injector (j?)
    Blade: Persona 74
    Brush: Razorock BC Plissoft
    Soap: Perfectly Natural Hop 2 It
    Post: Myrsol Lemon A/S


    Having trouble uploading my pic for today's shave. Sorry for my absence, life has been hectic lately and am having trouble keeping up with the forums. TSD was the 1st fourm I joined and have been searching the backlog of threads seeing how much things have changed over the years. Great place with great people bottom line!

    Went with Perfectly Natural Hop 2 It shave soap. This is a inexpensive artisan with a solid soap base and quality ingredients & scents on the natural side. This one is Grapefruit and IPA Beer. Have been sniffing many Citrus soaps In the den the past few days so it might be the start of a Citrus kick lol.

    Fantastic lather and managed a BBs shave with no drama. Wish the lather shot would have loaded, this stuff is shiny and makes a lather unlike any other soap I have tried (hundreds) which is really saying something. It's more of a cream puck that lathers like a sticky aloe Vera texture.

    The Myrsol has a bit of a Lemon Pledge vibe to it but fades quickly and feels nice on the skin.


    Hope everyone is in good health and getting the best shaves possible!

    Have no fear, the scent will soon fade to nothing. AND... the soap will be hard as a rock.

    Tuesday morning:

    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Derby day 4
    Body Shop Maca Root SC
    Arko Aqua AS Gel
    English Leather AS Splash

    I had a very pleasant surprise from the Maca Root cream because years ago I used the original version of Body Shop and although it gave great lather and skincare I detested the scent, which to me was like a vitamin store. This version smells much nicer, it lathers just as well, and it’s also very skin friendly. The Arko Aqua gel has a nice scent as well as a most delightful cooling sensation and it moisturizes very well. I paid 5,00$ CAD for the English Leather aftershave and I really like the scent. Three passes resulted in a terrific shave!

    A special thanks to my dear friend Ignaz for sending me the Body Shop cream![​IMG]

    Tabac Tuesday's Shave
    zcws.jpg

    Cold Water Rinse
    Tabac Shave Soap
    Oscar11 synthetic
    The ALUMI-TAR by Tom
    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWS
    Tabac ASB

    The Tabac Shave Soap face-lathered well with the Oscar11 synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with The ALUMI-TAR by Tom razor with a Gillette Silver Blue DE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. I started on 1 and went through 3. It was excellent. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    And so it goes, as Kurt Vonnegut was wont to say! I admit it; I’m both baffled and beguiled by this surprising shaving tool. The blade sits flat against the baseplate, but also sits on the end bars which themselves sit slightly above the inner teeth of this surprisingly subtle OC design. Does this slight gap explain the extraordinary efficiency and smoothness of this razor? It’s now day six of of a bloodless, two pass, irritation-free BBS shave of both dome and face! I would welcome any insights based on my photography or your knowledge that those of you out there would be willing to share about this grail razor of mine!

    RAZOR: LaResche 51 Luxe
    BLADE: Wizamet Super Iridium
    PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with PAA’s Preshave Cube Soap
    BRUSH: Jayaruh Custom Boar
    SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
    POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Thayers Lavender WH and finished with Ogallala Bay Rum (SWMBO left very early this AM)

    SOTD, Feb 11th 2020, Flare tip Super Speed February and I was looking through my storage razors and came across my M3 Black handled Flare tip, This razor is OK for daily shaving but is not as well built as my Gillette 1956 all brass nickel coated flare tip IMO.
    I think the handle is Aluminum and has a brass head but it delivers a good shave.

    Razor: Gillette regular M3 flare tip with coated black handle-MFG 1967 3 qtr
    Blade: Personna red (5)
    Soap: Colonel Conk Bay rum- Good soap
    Brush: Yaqi wolf whiskers 24 mm
    Pre-shave: Brush wash my face with CeraVe hand bar soap + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on beard area.
    Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 2.+(clean up)
    Post shave: FINE fresh Vetiver aftershave with witch hazel + Nivea Men balm.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = [​IMG]great shave!
