    Tuesday SOTD

    Razor...New SC, bar handle
    Blade...Astra SP (4)
    Brush...Strong Set restore
    Soap...Proraso Green

    I can't believe it, two 2-pass DFS shaves in a row after months of 3-pass+ shaves. And my Astra is on #4! Either this setup is perfect or I'm finally getting the hang of this!

    Can you explain what your qualifier "for a Joris" means, as you use it? My understanding is Joris and FaTip are both similarly (and very) aggressive, theoretically leading to very smooth shaves.

    3/24/2015 Tobacco Tuesday!!

    Prep: Hot shower with Nivea Face Wash with menthol, home made PSO
    Razor: Gillette Aristocrat, H. Boker Master Razor straight razor
    Blade: Astra SP (3)
    Brush: Vie Long Horse Hair
    Soap: RazoRock - Tobacco #2
    After: Home made ASB, Aqua Velva Musk after shave

    It is Tobacco Tuesday!! The Tobacco #2 was whipped up nicely by the Vie Long brush. The Boker and the Aristrocrat did their jobs well. The AV brought some protection and the Songe D'un Bois D'ete will have me smelling great all day.

    Have a blessed day!
