Excellent Fougere Friday shave Clint.

Very nice shave Paul. Agreed, the AstroTurf does like to give the “ground crew” a hard time.

Thank you Joe. I hope you have a great day.

Thank you Joe. I hope you get to enjoy the pool today. Looks like we will have thunderstorms rolling through the area all day and weekend.

Well said, Joe. . As I've said to others here, maybe it's trying to hint I should once again grow a mustache. I said, yes, when pigs fly. You may have seen the reply to that-I forget by who-showing a flying pig!!

July 24 SOTD Favorite Friday

Good morning gents!

Straight Shave #189
Wostenholm 15/16 Near Wedge Sq Pt
Jayaruh #386 Silvertip Badger Brush
Chiseled Face Cryogen SS, (New Puck) and AS

Last night, I did a dry run on the new puck to see if my new technique of drenching my face with the brush, squeezing out all the excess water and dotting the brush a few times. Well, it works! I don't need to swirl to get enough lather for 3 passes. Todat, I used a different brush and repeated my technique. Did get enough soap for 3 passes, but it was not as voluminous as yesterday's trial lather. That's ok because I got enough slickness for my razor to glide on my face to do its job. This Wosty near wedge is a real nice shaver, but I have only used it about 8 to 10 times since I bought it about a yr ago. I should use it nore often because it really gives close confortable shaves. Also, heavier grinds are more forgiving than full hollows. Today's shave was no exception. 2.5 passes on a 38 hr growth gave me a BBS minus shave without any errors. Splashed on the matching aftershave to get another nice menthol kick to end this great shave. I will continue to use this new loading technique to see if I can prevent this puck from turning into another gelatinous mess. Therefore, I am going to continue using this puck for the next 9 shaves to see if my method works. If it does, then I will say up my review regarding Cryogen. Take care guys!

Terrific shave, Joe!

Thanks Jim! I almost forgot how nice this razor shaves. Unfortunately, I treat it like a lost stepchild because I don't show it the love it definitely deserves.

July Focus

Barrister and Mann Bay Rum~~Simpson Milk Churn~~1908 Gillette SR/Sharp Star~~St. Johns
Seemed like a Bay Rum kind of day.
Churned up a luscious load o' lather with the Simpson.
Observe:

Superiorly slick and sumptuous sans air bubbles.
Sharp Star into the Single Ring.
The 112 year-old razor is quite aggressive; plenty of blade-feel.
It's a nimble tool, which can reach all of the awkward spots on the face.
Finished with St. Johns Bay Rum and all I can say is I am glad I did not pay full-price for this juice.​

Terrific shave, Joseph!

Beautiful shave Joe.

Very nice Joe. Happy Friday

Thanks Joe! I like shaving with vintage razors that are 100 yrs old. It's truly amazes me that these razors still can give great shaves.

Beautiful photo and shave Joseph. Sorry the St Johns Bay Rum isn’t working out for you.

Thank you Clint.
