Prep: hot shower, Axe Cooling Face Wash, Billy Jealousy Sucker Punch Face Scrub. Brush: TGN Grade A. Razor: '70 Aluminum Tech. Blade: Personna Lab. Soap: Tabac. Post: cold water rinse, Thayer's Lavender WH, Barbon AS. This is my first time using Tabac and I'm pretty impressed. It lathered up great, didn't dry up, had good slickness to it, and smelled pretty good. I've had some rough shaves recently and I have to dial in what's wrong and fix it so I don't keep having these problems.
Saturday Arko SS/Omega 10029 ER 1912/Gem SS d2 Old Spice AS 2 passes WTG & ATG.....With this 1912, buffing is so much fun....at the end of the shave I was thinking DFS and debated on a touch-up pass for 'Chasing the Baby"...ha,ha...But a couple hours later I'm thinking I made the right decision by not going on the 'Baby search' as I already found the baby and todays shave was a BBS...lol... Whichever way the 'Officials' call this one...Todays shave was a wonderful experience...

As close as a Shavette but fast and easy like an injector...I love it!! Have a great Sunday everybody!!

Sunday: Dedicated to my dear friends Veli and Dmitry! NXT Facial Wash #6 Horsehair Dovo Bismarck 5/8 Aspis Ice Rain SC Svoboda AS Balsam Grey Flannel EDT My shaves this weekend were made possible by two very special friends of mine who sent me some great creams from their countries - yesterday was a Russian Day dedicated to my friend Dmitry, and today was a Bulgarian Day dedicated to my friend Veli. This Aspis Ice Rain stuff gives such fabulous lather with a nice scent and it has a good cooling sensation which the Svoboda balsam (thanks again, Dmitry!) really increases. This shave was such a pleasure from start to finish!
