    Thursday's Shave
    zcws.jpg

    Cold Water Rinse
    Arko High Performance Shave Cream
    Heldtite Synthetic
    TAR Adjustable by Tom
    Personna Super (68)
    CWR
    Pinaud Clubman AS

    The Arko High Performance Shave Cream lathered well with the Heldtite Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the TAR Adjustable Razor by Tom with a Personna Super (68) Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
  9. Well, that's a shame.

    Recycled photograph. Things were busy this morning and I forgot to get a picture. Fortunately I had a pic from last week that fit the bill.

    Diamondine No. 7
    Simpson T3 Trafalgar
    Tabac shave soap
    Royal Copenhagen cologne

    The lather was spot on this morning. There is a lot if back and forth on Tabac but one cannot deny the lather is top notch.

    Awesome two pass shave with three passes on the neck. No blood loss and the alum was barely noticeable.

    A little witch hazel followed by the Royal Copenhagen and this one cruised across the finish line.

    I hope everyone has a fantastic day!

  17. Today’s shave with the Aluminum TAR was what I expected. A new blade made all the difference. Super close reduction and a very satisfying shave :happy036:

    It is an aggressive razor, even on the lower settings (I used a 4, 2, 2 progression) and a very, very light touch is required. :chores016:
