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...

 

Thanks for your excellent post. That's a cute frog blade bank.

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!

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

Greetings,

An acceptable performance from Wilkinson Sword trio.

The Classic Shaving Soap providing me with a good slick lather and a great post shave with no drying issues. I'm getting to like the scent of this soap more and more with each outing.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face is feeling smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

 

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.
