Schick I2 razor
Personna blade
CO Bigelow SC
WD Silver Tip brush
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel/Sage mix
Barbasol Brisk A/S

Just a really fine shave. In fact, it was one of those shaves, that when you're finished, say to yourself, "I could use this set up exclusively". Then you come to your senses and say, "Nah, still to many things to try".

 

Handsome kitty! He looks wild!

 

Stirling Bay Rum
Parker best badger
Muhle R41 (Personna blue)
Cold water rinse/alum

What a magnificent shave! In my view, Stirling soaps are top performers. Wonderful scents combined with a slick, dense lather. A perfect way to begin the day. Happy Thursday everyone!

Great 2 pass shave with some touch ups. Not BBS but very good for a work morning. The MdC is a great soap. It lathers so easily and rinses clean. Followed up the shave with Dove AS Balm and CC Sandalwood AS.

Just another terrific shave with this Böhler. Three passes and near BBS. Actually did a 4th pass—just for the fun of it!

My whiskers this morning were lighter than usual, which tells me I had a great shave yesterday. Today I definitely had reacquired the technique for use with the Gillette New Long Comb. 3 passes and smoother than yesterday.

That cat has a look expressing the following, "These items will be used on YOU and NOT on ME!"

 

He's a purebred Bengal. I had attempted to set up while he was asleep but he woke up.

Blade: GEM PTFE coated SE (6)
Brush: HJM Black Fibre
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
After: Home made ASB, Aqua Velva Ice Blue after shave
Cologne: Gravity

A good 2 pass Darn Fine Shave. The MWF whipped up nicely with the HJM synthetic brush. The Push Button is a mild and smooth shaver. "The Hornet" is a big and heavy blade, but it does the job very nicely. The AV brought some chill and the Gravity will have me smelling good all day.

Have a blessed day!

Lovely close shave from the Single Ring. This example's on the milder side so I opened up the razor a little allowing the blade to lift slightly off the comb.

Great shave this morning. First time using ML The Drunken Goat. The title caught my attention and when I saw Guinness, my favorite beer and goats milk which I prefer in my bath bars, I knew I had to purchase this one. Upon opening the lid you are hit with a delicious aroma of what I would describe as chocolate oatmeal cookies of French Chocolate Mousse. Makes me want to take a bite out of it. The soap lathered easily, the razor glided with ease and the post shave was nice and smooth. Pretty impressed with this one and will compare this to the other ML soap I picked up La Belle du Sud which also smells awesome but does not have Goat Milk in the ingredient list. Have a great day gents/ladies.

3/5/15 Head and Face SOTD.

Tried something new today. My hands have been really dry so I've been using some origins hand cream that my wife doesn't like. Since I was already putting some on my hands I used a little more on my head too. My stubble definitely felt softer and came off easier than normal.
