SoS: August 3, 2015 - August 9, 2015

Der Vorschlaghammer mit LMR
The Lather Monster easily whipped up the LMR, as usual. Der Vorschlaghammer smoothly made my stubble pay for its insolence, as usual. I finished up this great shave with Maggard London Barbershop because I feel it compliments the scent of LMR very nicely.
Prep: Cold water wash, Van Yulay PSO
Soap: Catie's Bubbles LMR
Brush: HIS
Razor: Der Vorschlaghammer
Blade: Voskhod (2)
AS: Maggard London Barbershop

 

Prep - Shower / Woods Of Windsor Cedar Woods soap / Pre-lather / 3 min steam
Razor - Ever Ready 1914
Blade - GEM Personna SS (#7 and out)
Brush - Omega 20106
Soap - Arko / Proraso Green / Glycerine
After - Frozen towel / Alum & WH Mix
Result - BBS

I love shaving with my DE's but it's becoming increasing more difficult to peruse my collection without picking an SE razor out of the pack. It always feels like much more of special occasion, the results like the band playing at the end.
Still sticking with the überlather, this combination being particularly cushioning.

Razor – Gillette New LC
Blade – Ladas (1)
Brush – Zenith Pro Aluminum Boar B2
Lather – Tiki Cabernet Neroli
Post - Witch Hazel & Fine L ’Orange



I decided to take a weekend break from my focus on the Slim to use my Gillette New LC. I broke the rule of not using multiple new items in one shave. This is my first time trying Ladas blades and my new Zenith Boar Brush. Thanks @david of central florida for the blades. The Ladas blades provided a very smooth and efficient 3 pass shave. I did have to touch up around my chin to catch the baby. The Tiki Cabernet Neroli has a wonderful scent of red wine and orange. I did have to go back and reload the brush after the first pass. This was an operator error with a new brush. The brush did shed 3 hairs or so but I expected that with the first use. I believe this will be a very good brush once it is fully broken in. The tips are already soft and starting to split. Finished off with the usual witch hazel followed by a splash of Fine L 'Orange. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Is that brush from TVB shaving? =)

 

Hmm! Arko/proraso... Very interesting.

Which one is the cream and which one is the soap? =)

I got 5 shaves from a gem Personna and After that the edge started to decrease. I have coarse bears. I could have done one sixth and final shave but Why push a blade right?

 

I got mine off of Ebay from the US importer. I have the B-02 but I see TVB has the B-01.
