Tuesday morning:

L’Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 2
RVT Frosty Bay Rum SS
Prep ASB
Krampert’s Bay Rum AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
Bleu de Chanel Parfum

Now I don’t know what to do because it was my second use of this 7 AM blade and already it started to tug so I’ll try it tomorrow and see how it goes. Mo’s Frosty Bay Rum is such a lovely soap - the scent is beautiful, the lather is such a pleasure to work up, the menthol sensation is nice although not that strong, and the postshave feeling is good. The Prep did a masterful job of moisturizing, cooling, and soothing my skin, while the Krampert’s Bay Rum aftershave finished everything off wonderfully. Today’s shave was BBS but it was a bit of a struggle.

Have a good day - be well and safe!

Good shave Jeff.

 

I never liked Old Spice and still do not, but that indeed is a beautiful set up.

 

Tabac Tuesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap

TARMAX by Tom
Astra SP
CWR
Tabac AS

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #424 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the TARMAX Razor by Tom with an Astra SP Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

SOTD TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 17, 2021

RAZOR: D.H. Nichiri Tokusen 6/8 (Mug), SS Supply V2 (Dome)
BLADE: Schick B-20 Proline Injector
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: MrEE Knurled Aluminum Handle Hybrid #007
CREAM: Nancy Boy Signature Scent
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Nancy Boy Signature AS Balm.

 

A brushless shave today, charcoal soap and homemade oil only. Krona/BIC for the beard was splendid mild shave as expected. For my head rather than using two full stacked blades in the Shake Sharp I used a half blade on top. More noise for sure and I don't know whether the top blade was doing any cutting -- it set quite far back from the bottom-- but it was still a little effort take no stubble prisoners shave.

Most definitely more efficient than the OC and the bar plate for obvious reasons.
I have to say though that now the shave even being completely nick free and the at no point did I feel the need to use more caution, the shave has blade feel and is aggressive.
I wouldn’t say as agressive as the Stirling Stainless by any means but I Think it does surpass the OC on my Blackbird, the jury is still out.
This deserves more shaves with more blades to get a true assessment in my opinion.
But a really great shave with only mild irritation in some sensitive areas.

Hot water preparation
Argan Oil PSO
Savile Row 3824
Castle Forbes 1445 Shaving Cream
FW Engels Perfection 8/8
Old Spice After Shave
