Greetings,

I'm starting to really appreciate the wonders of the humble shave stick. The Lea shave stick that i have infrequently added to my soap rotation i intend to use it more regularly after the slick protective lather it created in my shave today, leaving a wonderful post shave feel.

Another enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of The Real Shaving Co. ~ PSSB.

Thursday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Jeff's Soap
Jayaruh #419 2-band Badger
Gillette English Flat Bottom NEW LC
Gillette Silver Blue
CWR
Florida Water

Jeff's Soap was lathered well with the Jayaruh #419 2-band Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette English Flat Bottom NEW LC with a Gillette Silver Blue blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

The weather was nice this morning: now, however, the sun is coming out and the fog has lifted.
I made it in time to shave in decent weather, though. And with great music!





Sapone PS: Pear Soap
Sapone: Knize Ten, The Knize
Pennello: Zenith, Silvertip, 26 mm
Rasoio: Edwin Jagger 89L, Lined Handle
Lametta: Polsilver, Wizamet
AS 1: MilMil, Figaro Gel
AS 2: Abbazia di Casamari, Balsamo
EdT: Penhaligon's, Sartorial
ST: Chet Baker Trio Estate, 2008

 

Nice shot! And a beautiful fragrance to boot!

 

Nice photo, sir. I'm trying to figure out the EdT, though. You cite "Abbazia di Casamari, Balsamo", but I find no information on that. It looks like a Penhaligon's bottle, of course.
