Outstanding Sunday morning shave that has resulted in super smoothness. Looking good for a visit with the cousins in Clearwater this afternoon.

Naturally, although not really needed, I went with my customary thing pass shave. I easily would have been satisfied with just two passes with this razor. Why break traditiona?

Hope you all are enjoying this last Sunday of Summer. @ChrisB - Winter

The scent is excellent. It's Good fellas take on Davidoff Cool Water both the soap & splash linger for a good while. Cool Water is old school favourite scent of mine, which I like to wear whatever the season of the year.

Good afternoon.

JR #290 Cashmere Brush
Music City Suds Lavender and Ever Amen SS and AS

I did an errorless 3 pass headshave for a dolphin smooth result. However, I did do some touchups due to the mild Heritage Razor.
Here's my lather:



Had minimal alum feedback. Finished with the witch hazel and the matching aftershave treatment. Take care.

Awesome shave Joe. Have a nice get-together with your cousins.

thank you Joe

Thank you, Gary.

Actually the Alum can be quite refreshing I find, but does let you know where you have dug a bit too deep

Thanks Joe

Thanks Joe, again

There you go, live and learn, I know about stones but not lapping films. I used to sharpen my chisels and plane blades etc on glass with wet and dry sanding paper, but it was a bit messy. Burrs and all, but I guess you don't want the burs on the edges of the straights

Thanks Joe

Really classic brush Joe, nice Bay Rum shave

Thanks Gary

Sample soap, Sterling soap, Slim, Shark
Spring is here so I decided to have a cold water shave and bring out the MITA



1 Days growth

Cold Water Prep and Preshave = Faulding’s shave cream
Cream/Soap = Sterling Margaritas in the arctic
Brush = 10049
Bowl = Timeless
Razor = Slim I4 &7
Blade = Shark Super Stainless (3), binned because it was getting a bit of a drag
Passes = 1 ½
Post = Usual Cold water rinse, face wash with left over lather, rinse. No Alum. No Thayers needed
ASL = Pinaud Lime Sec
Scent = Prada Blue Ocean
Score = 9 / 10
Damage = none

Was expecting the MITA to be a bit more of a tear jerker, but found it surprisingly pleasant. It’s a good enough skin toner to not need the Alum or the Thayers. It lathered up superbly and provided a nice slick protection. It was just the Shark blade that let the side down somewhat, hence it was promoted to the One Blade bin

The first pass was pretty good on the fairways and on the putting green, but the rough stuff still needed some touching up, making this a 1 ½ pass shave. It can be done! Good enough for a work from home day

Have a super Monday one and all
