Prep: Hot shower with Nivea Face Wash with menthol, home made PSO
Razor: Cobra, CMON Filarmonica Doble Temple straight razor
Blade: Feather Professional (12)
Brush: Turkish #6
Soap: DR Harris - Windsor
After: Home made ASB, Aqua Velva Ice Blue after shave
Cologne: Bond No. 9 - NY Oud

A comfortable 2 pass Darn Fine Shave this morning. The Windsor whipped up nicely with the #6. The Cobra and the Fily did their jobs well. The AV brought some chill and the NY Oud will have me smelling great for the rest of the day.

Have a blessed day!

@MoAllen Mike, your photos are consistently great. I look forward to seeing them each day.

 

I was hurried in my shave today, so I only took 2 passes. I ended up with a decent, not BBS shave, but with no irritation, weepers, or cuts.

Much better shave today; close, smooth and comfortable. It also seems the longer the VEG is in glass the better it gets...

W/X/A, touch ups

Third day with this set up. I upped the aggressiveness one notch. I meant to back off to "5" for the X and A, but forgot, so I did the entire shave on "6." Best shave yet with the FB. Only two slight nicks. I would call this shave "Acceptable." I'm going to spend a couple more days with this set up and try to get a little closer without any irritation.

I also shaved off my 2 square inch goatee, and had to relearn how to shave without it there. More difficult than you think.

 

That brush is the perfect combination of beauty and simplicity. Love it.

 

Wow! That brush is stunning!

Razor: Gillette Slim (k3) 1965 (5) (3)
Brush: Jerusalem Olive Wood/WD Silvertip 24/48
Mug: Old Spice (late glass Mug 04) 1970s -1992 The last OS Mugs
Cream: Jack Black cream
Blade: Feather (2)
Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Jack Black Post Shave Gel, Old Spice original Shulton 1980 glass AS (gift from my father in law)
The Jersalem Olive Wood/WD is a great soft brush on my face, but with its low set whipped up the JB cream in no time. I really like the slim, the heavy handle and head gave me a nice smooth shave with no pressure. Just 2 passes WTG XTG on my face, and WTG ATG on my neck with the Slim set at (3). Just have to not over buff my neck, because on 3 the Slim is very mild, even with a Feather. The JB cream gives a nice cushion and complements the JB Post Shave Gel very well. No burn! And the Vintage OS from the 80s tops it off nicely. Y'all have a good one!
