    Sunday morning:

    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Shark day 2
    Bundubeard Vanilla X 3 SS
    Prep ASB
    Alcolado Glacial Menthol Splash
    Bleu de Chanel EdP

    What a shave this was - colder than hell from Jaco’s Vanilla X 3 soap. The lovely scent came out superbly after the intense menthol fumes blasted me, the lather got thicker and thicker as I worked it up, and the freeze hit me like a sledgehammer but I enjoyed it so much. Thanks to the Prep my skin felt so moisturized as well as soothed, and the Alcolado Glacial froze me even more. Three passes gave me a perfect BBS shave!

    Have a great Sunday![​IMG]

    Lather Catcher Sunday's Shave
    [​IMG]

    Cold Water Rinse
    Mitchell's Wool Fat
    B-400 Badger
    Ever-Ready Lather Catcher
    Pal CS
    CWR
    Cella Balsamo Dopobarba

    The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap face-lathered well with the B-400 Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Ever-Ready Lather Catcher with a Pal CS blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Cella Balsamo Dopobarba. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    A most disappointing shave this AM. I've tried several different blades with this razor, all yielding sub-par shaves. I suspect it's just too mild for my old whiskers. I have to keep going over and over the same spots and still can feel stubble. Ended up using a Merkur 45 plastic razor to tidy up a few spots well after my shave. Today's shave is not even pic worthy.

    Cream: Proraso white
    Brush: RazoRock Disruptor
    Razor: RazoRock OLD style w/bulldog handle
    Blade: Rapira Platinum LUX (1)
    Aftershave: Mennen Skin Bracer

    Real nice shave with the VB adjustable. Smooth and comfy 3 pass BBS aided by Lisa’s awesome soap with the tiniest amount of irritation (on me, not the soap or razor) along the jawline. Nothing that the Clubman couldn’t handle and gone in a few minutes. Finished off with a masculine and classic performer, D&G The One. Don’t get any better. A great day and shaves to all....

    Happy March! I began the month the way I ended February. Great loading from the Stoylin "Pro-Handle" brush. I went ATG on that area of my right side, just under the jawbone and ear moving west. Much better feel :). I did get about 3 or 4 tiny weepers around my mouth. I need to "cut" down this nonsense. Your shave is going great, then POOF....the little red markers. Bt...2 good passes, and the soap looks good for the next time around. I'd like to fit in another set of the P.A.A. before it gets real warm, but I think I can get it in. At week's end I'll have the Sir Hare out for work. Will review it here. I don't know that the review will match those of @Primotenore , but I'll try to come close. Pretty Excellent.
