lather-Barbasol Original Cream
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE
A.S.-Pinaud-Clubman Reserve(Gent's Gin)

I couldn't pass up the Barbasol(extra 50% free for the bottle I bought). With sponsors like Babe Ruth and Knute Rockne, you can tell it's a classic man's shave cream. The opening squeeze was tough, but eventually came out in cloud form. Clean, clear shave all around. One pass. No damage. Solid close from the Gent's Gin A.S. Super Duper Outstanding.

 

Classic choice you made, buddyyyy(HAAAAAH, long lung breath) .

 

Outstanding shave after three days growth. Close and comfortable with no drama.

Thanks, originated from AliExpress.

 

Outstanding shave my Akhi!!

 

Nice looking razor. I like rose gold a lot, and this is a beauty. I have some Baili blades, not sure if it comes from the same company or it is completely different. The blades work pretty well for me.

 

Nice brush! I have one similar that is black instead of red. IMHO Semogue produces one of the best boar brushes out there. I'm a big fan and have accumulated quite a lot of their brushes

 

I had a pack of Baili blades. I used them up, but I thought they were pretty good blades also.

Thank you. I have more than a couple of them. The handle on my 1305 is cracked, but that one is one of my favorite Semogue boars. I've thought about getting a new one or sending it somewhere to be reset in a different handle. It wiggles just a little when I use it. It's broken-in so good it puts my silvertip badgers to shame.

Greetings,

Relaxing Sunday Morning Shave.

The Eco Warrior shaving bar performed wonderfully this morning producing a slick protective lather in a short space of time.

The soap has a mild scent good texture & slickness it's protective leaving an impressive post shave feel. I've yet to try any of the new recipes of the Eco Warrior shaving bars, but by the negative comments and reviews I've read I'll give them a miss.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Yelken Turkish Lemon Eau De Cologne.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

Brush: New Forest Tubby 1 Finest
Soap: Los Jabones de Joserra: Harvest
Post: Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence

1st run with the M3teorite, and it was sublime.. very smooth and extremely efficient.. I would caution that it would be best not to get too complacent with it.. as it does what it does extremely well.. a wonderful start to my day..




Shaving.. to be enjoyed, not endured.

2 Days growth

Usual Prep
Soap = Arko
Brush = Pura Setola
Bowl = Timeless
Razor = Schick Adjustable
Blade = Persona day (1)
Passes = 2 + for a super clean and enjoyable shave

In my opinion this combo outperforms the Slim and the Feather
