Thanks Gary

 

I don't see it.

Another cool shot, sir. I love the unique storage idea for the soap.

Another striking photo!

Thanks! Given Oleo's more lemony-forward translation of Colonia, it's almost tempting to eat it like candy.

Thank you, Gary!

 

Thanks, Gary!

IMHO the $30 aluninum Hawk is one of the best bargains in the shaving world. It outshaves many of my stainless DEs costing more than five times as much. I also have two stainless steel Hawks, standard and OC. And yes, they are slightly more efficient than the aluminum version, at more than twice the price.

Greetings,

Early morning shave,

An incredibly good shave from the Baili super-speed clone, pairing up wonderfully with the Gillette 7'0clock Super Platinum.... Every shave that i have had with it has been consistently good...The 7'0clock Super Platinum i find works really well with non-aggressive razors these blades are really sharp, almost 'Feather' but with a smooth edge. I personally find Feather blades to be over sharp which makes them feel rough...I prefer smoothness in a blade rather than sharpness, the 7'0clock Super Platinum has a good balance of both.

A Enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a generous splash of 4711 ~ Eau De Cologne/ASL...The 4711 has a wonderful scent my only wish is it wasn't so short lived...You can't have everything though.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

 

Thank you Gary!

Start of three EndGem shaves with the first of my EndGem Speed set, the mild 1dot.
Very pleased with the smooth result.

 

Look Gary... Sometime you are here, sometime you're not.

This is not a hotel!

(Didn't dad ever tell you? )

 

Gary!

 

Just a personal impression, of course.
I imagine the stones on the brush handle...

Thank you, Matt!

I woke up early and refined my choice of soaps for the hot season, although it's not easy with weather like this: the emotionality was missing!
And. just as you must not food shop when you're hungry, you must not rearrange your summer soaps when it's an autumn day outside!
But I think I did an acceptable job accompanied by beautiful music.

It was an unexpected vetiver day!
And the Greek soap has a great scent.
I didn't feel my skin relaxed so I resorted to the orientals who, in their wisdom, gave me very smooth shave.

But I'm baffled: there are so many I like, it's hard to use them as often as I'd like without neglecting others I would enjoy: life is hard!

But now that we have an extra hour a day, I could get organized: an extra shave every 24 days: brilliant, right?

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with the SlimGem Silvertip Badger.

What a great shave.
Very pleased with the rice serum and of course this version of the shave butter with the amazing vetimore scent makes this feel like a level up moment.
Of course the Stirling Stainless efficiency puts this shave in the Straight Razor BBS Category.
