Sunday! Prep: hot washing cloth Music: Bram Vermeulen, Achter Mijn Ogen Brush: DVH boar Soap: TSD Bay Rum Razor: Rolls Razor Shave: 3-pass - No, 4-pass Post: hot water rinse, cold water rinse It started as a 3-pass shave, but after the third pass I started to lather for a forth time. Guess I was enjoying myself! Do I really have to say this was a stellar shave? If not for those few stubbles on my adam's apple this would be a BBS. Happy Shavings!
Shave of the Day (SOTD) Sunday January 19, 2013• Prep: Brush soaked in warm water, face washed with Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Anti-Blemish Cleanser, luke warm shower • Razor: Merkur 1904 Open Comb • Blade: Gillette Super Thin • Brush: Semogue SOC Cherrywood Boar • Soap: Proraso Sandalwood and Shea • ASB: Nivea for Men Sensitive Post Shave Aftershave Balm (old formula) • AS: Vintage Mennen Skin Bracer Spice Scent • Post: Cold Water Rinse, Double Splash of Aftershave It has been a long time since I have used the 1904 OC, especially in it's unaltered state since I am always adding different handles to it. Although a mild razor I was able to achieve a BBS in 3 full passes, along with some light buffing and j-hooks. It was a very nice shave, I should not go so between the next use. Now off to bed, as I have been up all night!!

Sunday: #6 Horsehair Dovo Bismarck 5/8 New Proraso White SS Lubriderm unscented moisturizer Booster Mosswood AS Although I enjoy my Super Speed very much, I look forward each Sunday to the relaxation and tranquility of a nice shave with my Dovo Bismarck. I feel so smooth and properly-shaved and the total experience is such a pleasure. The new version of Proraso White soap lathers just as well as the older one, it has the same nice scent, and it's definitely more mentholated. Corinne says she wants to hide my Booster Mosswood - ohhhhh, I cannot let her do that! View attachment 34020
Shawna, you are in my prayers. With God's help everything will be fine and no surgery will be necessary.
It could have been a real retro shave this morning if it wouldn't have been for the synthetic Muhle. It's been years since I've used Old Spice shaving soap. I've been waiting for a long time to stumble across a vintage puck and it finally happened yesterday at our local antique store. Excellent shave this morning. The Hackett Diamond is another antique store find from a few years ago. It's a hardware company razor and it's not stamped as to the country of manufacture but I assume Germany. It is a superb shaver, one of the best I have. Not a bad find for $10. You don't need a expensive, highly collectable razor to get great shaves. Have a good one. photo storage

Veli, I also have some Agressia Fresh cream and I think it's wonderful stuff. It smells very nice and has terrific lather and skincare. Where is the menthol it is supposed to have? Otherwise I cannot complain about it!
Hallo Thorsten, TSD Iced Barbershop RS - ich wusste nie dass diese Seife gab. Seit wenn hast Du es? Grüße, (I said to Thorsten that I never knew there was a TSD Iced Barbershop soap, and I asked him how long he has it.)
I love Barbershop! I have a bar of Mike's Natural Soap Barbershop and I have to say it's my favorite soap.
Hi Jeff, die Seife habe ich Anfang Januar bekommen.Kann man bei JoAnna bestellen.Standartmäßig allerding OHNE Menthol.Gegen Aufpreis kann man Menthol dazukaufen.Der Geruch ist klasse. (I said to Jeff that i have the Soap since the beginning of January.It can be ordered from JoAnna.Normaly the soap is WITHOUT Menthol,so i ordered it with menthol for a few cents more.For me the scent is amazing. @Ryan Bales: Did you tried the Barber Shoppe soap from JoAnna so you can make a comparison?! Would be interesting for me,because i´ve heared only very good things about Mike´s natural soaps...
