Ever-Ready Lather Catcher

Lustray Spice After Shave

The L'Occitane Shaving Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #414 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Ever-Ready Lather Catcher Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Sunday morning:

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Astra Green day 14
Master Soap Creations Peppermint Lime SS
Prep ASB
Alt Innsbruck AS Splash

Not quite a Grand Freeze but close - this Peppermint Lime is one of the nicest soaps Fernando makes - the scent is gorgeous, the lather is awesome, the menthol sensation is really strong - in fact I would rate it at 8/10 on my Menthol Scale so it’s right up there. The postshave feeling of this soap is wonderful as well. The Prep always gives me such great soothing, and the Alt Innsbruck not only smells lovely, it has lots of menthol in it. The Astra Green blade gave me one last hoorah with a terrific three pass BBS shave!

Have a good Sunday - be well and safe!

Hi Friends,

here is may Shave of the Day (08.08.2021)


Preshave: menthol Cube // Razor: Razorine V1 // Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium // Soap: Sapone da Barba Vegetale alla Mandorla // Brush: Alpha Outlaw clone // Aftershave: homemade Bay-Rum

Havn‘t used the Razorine for ages…so I thought today would be perfect to use it again. Absolutely no mistake…

Smooth and gentle after a few strokes where I had to adjust the angle of the blade and the handling itself. With this point it was great.

The soap smelled so good that I could eat it…wonderful. The lather was wonderful too. Nice cushion and glide.

After my shave I’ve used my homemade Bay-Rum. A bit on the sweeter side due to quite a bit of cinnamon and vanilla. The cloves are more muted. I like it a lot.

Habe a great day, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

Greetings
Thorsten

Well, the GD 208 just got back from being professionally honed. I only have a touch up stone and the pasted suede side of my strop for maintenance. First time in maybe five years? Nice smooth save. ATG definitely easier.



Followed up with healthy dose of Clubman Classic-very soothing.

A Gibbs brush!! Awesome Jorge! Definitely a unicorn in the brush world and not something you see often. Maybe even rarer than the Gibbs adjustable razor itself.

Have you been able to screw the knot off of it or is it seized up?

I was able to but mine has a crack in it and since the knot was good i glued the top and base together.
