Great shave, Clint. Wonderful picture too.

 

SOTD MONDAY, JUNE 8, 2020

Well here I am on my third shave with this remarkable shaving tool, the Valet Auto Strop (VAS) VC4! The only other razors in my collection that compare are my Shake Sharps and AC razors. @twhite Tom White’s brass TAR is also in the same category! Feather FHS-10 just don’t last like my Gems or Proline blades. It appears that 2 1/2 shaves is the best I can expect from them. I face and head shave daily. So it’s probably about the equivalent of 4-5 face shaves.

Nancy Boy Shave cream has become my face and head crack! The Jayaruh #374 Boar brush delivered the wonderfully thick, yogurty lather that I’ve come to expect. This shave cream has spoiled me for other soaps and creams. After my shower and cold water rinse, I lathered up and really took my time. I started with the aggressive setting for the first WTG pass, and really took my time. The VC4 is such a great razor. It mowed through the stubble right down to the skin line. Tha second slow and easy ATG buffing pass put the baby to bed and eased yours truly into another VBBS. I feel clean, velveteen smooth and refreshed.

RAZOR: Valet Auto Strop VC4
BLADE: Feather FHS-10
PREP: Cold water rinse
BRUSH: Jayaruh Custom Boar #374
CREAM: Nancy Boy Signature
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with Glyce Glycerin soap followed by Humphreys Lilac WH and Lisa’s Naturals Tobacco & Bay Post Shave Elixir.

 

What a descriptive narrative on a wonderful shave Jeff!

Long working weekend since last Friday.....several hundred posts behind now.

Nice 3 pass shave today. DFS+ results. No shenanigans. Everything worked wonderfully, awesome new aroma from A&E with a new soap base. Supreme lathering, incredible yogurty goodness with oodles of slick. The Shavesmith Kamisori, light and nimble, made easy work of a days' growth. Finished with the matching A&E aftershave splash and skin food.

Scent Notes (from their website): Mandarin, Calabrian Bergamot, Lemon Peel, Neroli, Honeysuckle, Green Apple, Rose, Tobacco Absolute, Haitian Vetiver, Sandalwood, Cedarwood

Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday!

Cool story, Jason. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, Clint. When I ordered my first one I was torn between the Ebony and the Sapphire and ended up getting the Sapphire. When the Ebony came up again I drug my feet for a couple of days before caving in and ordering one.

Great shave and beautiful picture!

Excellent shave Jeff. You are beginning to make me wonder what you may have up your sleeve for “Just One July”.

 

Wonderful shave and report, Jeff!

Another stunner, Blair! The new A&E sounds like a winner.

Thanks, Gary!

Great shave, Clint! I feel the same way about mine, but must confess that I’ve been getting great shaves from the Auto Strop VC4.
