Greetings,

A relaxing Sunday morning shave.

My birthday shave yesterday with the Goodfellas' Smile Abysso Shaving Soap & matching ASL has reminded me how much i really like Davidoff Cool Water the Ach Brito Mogno Shaving soap is another soap which works so well with this classic aftershave fragrance.

Finishing the shave off with a a generous splash of Davidoff Cool Water ASL.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

Sounds like a super efficient shave Joe

Thanks Gary

fine moody setup Gary

Sunday 08 Jun 2025

Same setup as the last 2 shaves except for

Gillette ~1947 Aristocrat
Permasharp (2)

Lovely “crisp” shave with this razor. It seems to be of a different construction than my other Gillettes: very much audible feedback, similar to the Merkur Progress

Very efficient 2 passer with no damage
Nice clean cutting action from the Permasharp on day 2

Less than 1 gram of TOBS Oud ( about 1/8 teaspoon) plus 4 drops of glycerine and 4 cc of water. Taking care to lightly lather this is in the bowl without too much pressure on the brush, to avoid the lather reaching the knot. Beautiful creamy lather. Plenty and then some for 2 passes and the back of the neck

Superb Sunday shave, all scented up, clean and smooth, off to the GP for a follow up visit

Crispy autumnal morning here in Perth

Hope you all have a great Sunday ahead

Smart setup and interesting razor, thanks for sharing

Thank you Gary.

Much better shave today(Sun), with same arsenal. NO DAMAGE. I just went a little softer over the area of the cut. Big improvement. Boy, that Master Splash Spearmint A.S. is COLD.So much so, it almost HURTS. Maybe it's supposed to? Anyway, enough of that until later on in the summer. You're forced to ask the question "Is this what an 'Ice Bucket Challenge' feels like?". Anyway-fine shave overall: As Outstanding As It Gets.

fantastic sunday shave Paul.

Thank you Gary. You can bet I was a bit nervous going over Central South Porcupine again,but I just went ahead and did it.

I just watched a video on Master Soap Creations Vintage Spice Soap. This guy really focuses on shaving when he shaves(course we ALL should, right?). When it came to the aftershave, he had the MSC Vintage Spice AAAND Osage Rub(saying he might as well use Osage, since it was hot outside). I've never been that creative in just one shave. When I use Osage, that's IT. But he loves the MSC Vintage Spice. Looks great, all right.

Good afternoon.

Straight Razor Shave #609
C-Mon Jean Michels Brooklyn
Rockwell Synthetic Brush
Stirling Spice SS and AS
Stirling Alum Block
Lucky Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 2 75 Days



Three error-free passes gave me a very close and comfortable shave. As always, the Stirling lather was great. I made thicker than usual, bit it was still very slick. Change is a good thing. Alum was most silent. The witch hazel and matching aftershave treatment was very nice to end this shave. Take care.

splendid stirling sunday straight shave Joe

Thanks Gary. I picked this setup without looking at your shave setup. Great minds think alike.

Very nice setup and shave Gary.

Your shave matched the weather Chris. It seems that it was crisp.

Thanks Chris.
