Monday:

cool shower with TOBS Avocado shower gel
Maggard Sweet Orange PSO
Parker 80R 2+ passes
generic store brand (1)
TSD Florida Water type Lanolin soap
StrongSet boar
Thayers Cucumber WH
Florida Water cologne

Very nice shave today. Generic store brand blades are typically just average but I'm too cheap to throw them away so I decided to give the ones I have two shaves each until they're gone.

 

Der Duft ist absolut fantastisch!

Shave of the Week Starting 16 Aug 2021

Razor - SNMIRN (what kinda name is that?)
Blade - GSB
Brush - Maggard Purple Swirl synthetic
Cream- Lea Menthol
Balm - Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
A/S - Assorted

First outing with the SNMIRN razor and am I ever surprised! Found it on A***n for $9.99 shipped and thought, "what the heck" so I got one. It worked surprisingly well. I'll do a review after using it this week but the first try is very encouraging. My face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

What an awesome shave! These Kai blades really are something! They're a bit pricey for my shaving pattern so one of these days I might try using one of these blades more than once!

 

A beautiful shave set up.

 

Showing off that beautiful, cased Red Tip again, Douglas. Good-lookin' shave, Marine.

 

Thank you, Barry.

That French point works really well for detail work - if you take the plunge get a razor with that kind of point

 

Love your collection.
