Thanks Gary.

 

Well, what a way to close out(until fall)the Agadir Oud group. 0:50 at the loading dock, a again the brush picked up a lot of soap. Clean and clear most everywhere, but for a miss on the right side of N. Porcupine(I got it later).. Zeroes across the board on cuts, Knicks, Polka-dots. 2 passes. Agadir A.S. came through in style for me, as it always does. Closed with "Spirit" Mllionaire cologne. A delight of a shave. As Outstanding As It Gets.

 

Thank you Joe.

Head Shave

Catie’s Bubbles Tuxedo Brush
Seaforth Sea Spice Lime SS and AS

Personal Care Witch Hazel

I have been getting lazy doing headshaves. I don't usually go beyond 3 days. Lol! However, life gets in the way.
I went with the Rockwell Model T to do the headshave. Max was getting antsy because he saw me use Artie not too long ago. Got to keep the Sons of Thunder happy. Lol! Seriously, it's been awhile since I have used Max so it needed to make an appearance. As an aside, it's almost 4 yrs to the day since I purchased Max. I still haven't honed razor and I have 88 shaves with it. Yes, I did refresh this razor, but only once. This is a testament to the craftsmanship of Max Sprecher.
Anyway, I was in a mood for a nautical mood because the weather was good enough to head out to the beach so theSeaforth Sea Spice Lime set was appropriate. By the way, I didn't go to the beach. Here's my lather:



Three passes with Max gave me a very close, comfortable error-free shave. The Rockwell Model T gave me a terrific cueball smooth result without any blood loss.

The alum was silent on my face and neck, but there was some on the dome. Applied the witch hazel and the wonderful matching aftershave. I took my time with this session because I wanted to relax. Enjoy your day.

 

Terrific pic and shave Gary. I have the Semogue Owner's Club Super Badger Brush. It looks nice, but I have to load plenty of soap to mitigate it's lather hogging. I am sure your boar version doesn't hog the lather.

 

Thank you Joe

 

Thank you Gary.

 

I have not tried Wickhams. Very nice shave Barry.
