Esramic
Darwin/Darby
Vintage Stanhome
Royall BayRhum

+5 Hadn't used the Esramic in a long time so it was time. Fully intended to move on to a Rolls today but it is really difficult to quit a Darwin.

 

• Lord L6
• home boosted TRSC Moisturizing SC in my new shave bowl
• Voshkod (5)
• EJ 25 mm silvertip
• AV Ice Blue

I think I have enough of an impression to rate the L6 so I'm going to review it here shortly. It's mine for a few more days so I think I'm going to shave as though I'm not reviewing it just to get the sense of it as a daily driver.

4/5 blade shave for today

 

Saturday, July 16

65’ Gillette Slim (set on 7)
Voskhod (d1)
TSD Florida Water SS
Vulfix 2235 Super Badger
Barbasol Brisk
4.7 Blades

If not for a couple little nicks on the lower neck, this was a BBS. May dial down the Slim a notch tomorrow.

 

That razor is a beauty-I've never seen nor heard of it. What can you tell me?
It looks deco-20's or 30's deco.

 

Henkel's 4/8
Vintage Butterscotch Boar Brush
C&E Sienna Soap
Ahava AS


-This is one of those shaves that keeps me enthused about shaving. Those who
care enough about shaving to come to the boards understand.
-I couldn't decide which pic to post, so I posted both-a bit indulgent but it was
an indulgent shave so....

I did not enjoy this shave at all - in fact, I almost did not shave because my left arm was and still is so sore. I don't know how it happened, but I'm in a lot of pain. :sad023

Still not a big fan of sticks or face lathering, but the scent of the soap, a perfect cup of coffee, a super close, comfortable shave all brought it to a 5 easily.

Have a Great Day!

 

Started the day at the gym and followed up with an iced Hammerhead(Triple espresso dropped in a 20 oz cup of joe over ice.) I just can't do it black, but only add a drop of skim milk. It's not quite black and not quite gray, but really tasty.

Astra SP

Rooney 3-2 Super
TOBS Avocado

Alum
Superior 70 Bay Rum

This shave got the best of me. I had a few weepers and some irritation. I'm becoming more sure that Feather is the only blade I like in this razor. It is boxed up and ready to go visit Arizona.
