Greetings,

Early morning shave,

Ever since I've used blue's goat milk soap, the outcome of the shave is always good, today was no exception, this Chinese made soap doesn't have much scent but it's performance, & post shave feel are amazingly good.

A comfortable 2 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Creighton's Sensitive PSB.

My face is feeling cool smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

It's just that this is the first can I've used where the exit has always been difficult-hopefully it's easier with time.

very cool, love the colors, oooh, and yes, the smiley face on the case

Cool pic and shave, Proraso is nice stuff!

Have a great Thursday one and all

Real good Throwback Thursday shave this morning. 0:50 at the Loading Dock for the Unnamed Brush. It's a nice brush. Clean and clear all over. Struggled again at North Porcupine, but it was less of a struggle than previous shaves. 2 passes. Goose-eggs on cuts, Knicks, Polka-dots. Maybe a little extra of the Proraso A.S., as the nice scent is showing strongly. One Man Show Cologne to close out. Super Duper Outstanding.

Aug 29 Head and Face Shave

Good morning.

Mühle R102
Voskhod DE Blade (2,3)
MrEE LE #10 Cashmere Brush
Soap Commander Vision SS
Pinaud-Clubman Classic AS
Stirling Alum Block
Personal Care Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 46.5 hrs
Dome Turf: 3.75 days



It's that time for another head and face shave. Went with the R102 with a relatively fresh Voskhod blade. I only needed 2 passes for my face and dome. However, I needed touchups on the top deck. Achieved BBS on face and near BBS on dome. Missed a small spot, but it isn't visible due to my gray.
Since Joe @JACarbone went with the Soap Commander Vision Soap yesterday. I decided to use it today. Thanks Joe for the sample. As you can see below it makes a nice, creamy lather. Btw, it's very slick and it was the right choice to shave with the amount of growth on my face and dome.



Had some feedback on the dome, but not on the face and neck. Splashed on the witch hazel and the Pinaud-Clubman Classic aftershave and I am ready to face the day. Take care.

Very nice setup and shave Barry. In my world, Old Spice is a winner.

Outstanding pics and wonderful shave Chris.

Lovely pics and review ChrisB
quite high end mate

Thank you, Joe. The Proctor & Gamble Old Spice scent offerings are completely different to the original scent. However, they are an excellent inexpensive post shave application.

Thank you, Gary.

Awesome pic, setup and shave Gary.

Thanks Gary.
