    Saturday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Palmolive Classic Shaving Cream
    Jayaruh #222 Synthetic
    Torqued Slant Razor by Tom
    Gillette Nacet Stainless
    CWR
    Humphrey's Witch Hazel
    Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC

    The Palmolive Classic Shaving Cream lathered well with Jayaruh #222 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Torqued Slant Razor by Tom and the Gillette Nacet Stainless blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Tabac Saturday:

    Hot shower with Tabac bath soap
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Wilkinson day 11
    Tabac SS
    Lubriderm Moisturizer
    Tabac AS Splash
    Tabac Cologne

    Originally I was planning on using a highly mentholated setup from Master Soap Creations but when I got a whiff of the Tabac bath soap my plans changed. That scent is to die for (to me!) and the skincare is awesome. The lather of the Tabac shaving soap was wonderful, the slickness was A1, and my skin felt super afterwards. The Lubriderm moisturizer added lots of extra care, and the Tabac aftershave along with the cologne had me smelling fantastic. Three passes gave me a most delightful BBS shave!

    Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and stay safe![​IMG]

    Continuing with this mini focus for the last week, trying to finish the Bergamot and Lavender
    So far the setup has worked well on 2 day growth, so today I decided to continue with it, but on a sone day growth

    1 Days growth

    Same software as the last few shaves of the week

    Razor = Gillette Nacet / 7 o’clock OC
    Blade = Super Iridium(4)
    Passes = 2 +

    I don’t usually keep my blades beyond day 4 but I will give this one another try
    Great result overall BBS one way and some BBS both ways
    Back of the neck all cleaned up

    Damage free month so far, fingers crossed

    Thanks for your excellent post. I also don't usually take my blades beyond 3 or 4 shaves because I dislike needing to stop and change blades midstream. I occasionally do take a few beyond 4 shaves. Artist Club style, Feather, and KAI DE blades come to mind right offhand. I might take the Polsilver I used today to another shave or two because it was smooth and sharp today still on shave #4.
