June 17, 2020 Phoenix Aluminum DOC Feather Rubberset 400 #3 with WSP HMW Mike’s Orange, Cedarwood & Black Pepper Fine Italian Citrus I can't believe it is Wednesday already. Using the same things again today so nothing much to add there. I did fully tighten the DOC before the shave this morning. I found the shave to be just as efficient but much smoother. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.
Very nice, Clint! I've experimented with my copper Ascension from handle tightened down to as far open as I was comfortable that it wasn't too loose and allow the head to move while shaving. That's about 3/8 of a turn backed off. Like you I found the only change to be how smooth the shave felt. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
Gemini Shave Month (Twin shaves-same set up two days in a row). Rating: 5 / 5 Razor: Valet Auto Strop VC4 Blade: Feather - FHS Brush: Shore Shave Creamsicle Swirl 24 mm White Synthetic Lather: Stirling Satsuma Aftershave: Stirling Satsuma Additional Care: Barbero Alum Block Thayer's Witch Hazel - Aloe Vera Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm Absolutely total badass shave this morning. First time using the Valet VC4 and the soap/splash combination. The razor delivered a super close and comfortable shave. The Stirling soap performed as you would expect from this artisan and the scent is just fabulous. I will be looking forward to it’s repeat performance tomorrow morning. Enjoy your day brothers.
Wonderful shave Jason. I am not familiar with the soap. Is it very tobacco forward or a subtle touch?
June 17th Cella - PreShave Gel, Shave Soap, After Shave Balm & Lotion Ever Ready 100 w/synthetic flat top Blackland Dart Bolzano SuperInox Needed a quick easy 'git 'r done' shave this morning. Blackland Dart and Cella called to task. Easily made lather bursts from the ER 100 with the slightest hydration and swirling. Super luscious maraschino cherry fragrance in abundance throughout the 2 pass shave.....BBS results w/a touch up on the neck, no shenanigans. Quick ASB and AS application, wonderful face feel for hours is the results. Slight almond sweet aroma, wifey approved for this household. Busy day, bunch 'o work, plus a couple doctor visits for my elderly father. Hope everyone has a fantastic Wednesday!
