Very similar shave - and gear - as yesterday.
Can't believe I used the same razor two days in a row. What's up with that?
As mild as this razor is....I just really like the look of it and even though it's mild it does give a very decent shave.

I'm with you, Mark. I switched from electric to DE, and I don't miss that old Braun a bit. I DO look forward to shaving now!

SOTD:
Muhle R89 twist
VDH Badger
Derby extra
Shaver Heaven Honey Ale

After a long week of work I was able to get a relaxing shower and shave, it really does make you feel great afterwards.
Thank you Anthony Macri your soap was wonderful. Honestly when I first opened the container the sent hits you with a strong powerful scent. While shaving though it mellows a bit with each lather then settles to a nice sent afterwards. The slickness never failed, I must say with this soap it was all that Anthony Esposito, and Ray Ray Pope say it is incredible!

 

Felt so good yesterday, I decided to run it back again. I must tell you, it was another Stirling bbs shave. Better than yesterday. Still working on getting the lather I like but I like it. I like it alot! Stirling is my new adjective for a great shave!

I must be REALLY tired right now. I looked at this pic and thought, "Why would he need two brushes for one shave?"

 

2 days growth

•Fred's (Dorco) Trac II carts on aftermaket Schick handle
•bar soap, slathered on by hand (was in a hurry)

2 pass BBS. WTG/ATG. Perfectly smooth shave. Lucky Tiger lotion for luck with the treadmill test.

 

That is perhaps the only razor that will never, ever look dated.

 

Haha! Sorry for the double vision. Been playing around with the mirror lately, lol.

 

February 6 (day 6)

Stirling Sheep Soap
Feather Artist Club razor
Feather Professional blade (day 5)
Two-band silvertip
Art of Shaving Sandalwood cream
One pass plus touch-ups
Alum, Thayer's Lavender witch hazel, & unrefined shea butter

My February goal is a close and comfortable two- or three-pass shave with this set up. Today's shave was nice and comfortable, as I took my time and basically stopped after one pass. With five days on this blade, I think it is time for a new one.

I hope everyone has a blessed day.

 

I've become a fan of the @oscar11 brushes.

 

Beautiful razor.

 

Step away from the razor. You may be on danger!

 

Saturday's


Nivea Men's Face Wash
Kiss My Face Cool Mint moisture shave
Jayaruh WC2 Synthetic
Edwin Jagger DE89
Personna Stainless
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Lemon WH
Aqua Velva

This is shave #7 of Loving the EJ DE89 Week. The Kiss My Face Cool Mint moisture shave face-lathered well with my Jayaruh WC2 Synthetic Brush. Two passes with my Edwin Jagger DE89 and a Personna Stainless Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

That's because it was brought by aliens from the planet Twilo.
