No pics but my morning shave consisted of:

-TOBS Sandalwood with some Captain's Choice Sandalwood AS mixed in the lathering bowl

-Schick Xtreme plastic disposable razor = BBS

-Osage Rub applied liberally

-Aqua Velva applied even more liberally after OR dried

-Old Spice applied liberally after AV dried

31 Mar 2015
Soap - Tabac
Brush - Turkish #6
Razor - Rockwell 6S (#5)
Blade - Ladas (3)
AS - Old Spice

Another fantastic shave. It is too bad not everyone who received a Rockwell has a useable razor, for me it is by a wide margin not only my favorite razor, but the most efficient.

 

I would be interested in your daily thoughts of the R41's.

 

Herm, you might want to start locking yourself in the bathroom.

Tuesday's Shave



Prep: Hot shower w/ Grandpa's Pine Tar
Lather: L'occitane Cade
Brush: Omega 13522
Razor: '46-'50 Gillette Heavy Gold Tech
Blade: Personna Lab blue
Post: Nivea Sensitive Balm
Scent: Tommy Bahama Very Cool

Good 2 pass shave. Not sure about the Lab Blues. I think more testing will be required.

 

Razor: Gillette New LC Bar Handle 1930s
Brush: e-shave finest Badger
Mug: Old Spice 1985 Cobalt Blue Boar
Cream: Seifenglatt Shave Soap Barber Shop
Blade: Feather (1)
Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Neutrogena Post Shave Balm, 4711 cologne
The first shave for me with the Gillette New LC was great, so I'm looking forward to another shave with it. Loaded a new Feather blade, and checked the alignment. Looks good and I'm liking the longer comb just by looking at it. The e-shave badger whipped up a thick warm lather in the OS Mug. Nice liquorice scent from the Seifenglatt. First pass was very close, and the razor sang a nice tune to let me know how it was going. Very nice two pass shave with some touchup on my trouble spot on my neck. Warm water rinse and pat dry. Some WH and after cleanup some Neutrogena balm. Finished up with some 4711, the first cologne, for a change of pace. Very nice razor, great feedback and I can get into some spots on my neck with only a little buffing. I like the large heavy handle, and it cleans up easier than my adjustables. I really like this razor, can't you see......

 

Beautiful razor and brush!

 

It is the color of the Golden Barrel Cactus.

 

Great picture, and cool font!

 

Hahaha it sounds like a cool mix =P
