9/8/15 SOTN? Night time shave! Pre shave- Hot shower Stirling SDM bath soap Stirling unscented pre shave oil Shave- Bullet tip with cvs single edge blade (4) Soap Commander Courage shaving soap @Jayaruh #5 pure badger brush Aftershave- Soap Commander Courage Aftershave Balm Great relaxing shave tonight. 2 passes for BBS no touchup needed. A little too much lather tonight as I zoned out whilst loading the brush and if needed would have had enough for 5-6 passes without running out of lather. Hope everyone has a great day/night and shave!
Sorry to hear that you are having breathing problems. I wish you all the best in feeling better soon.

I skipped my shave today to give my poor abused face a break. I've learned that the se razors can either love you or hate you depending on their mood. They loved me at first but my last few shaves they have not. I think the issue is my sensitive skin and wire tough beard. I'm going to switch blades every other shave and see if I can solve the torn up face every 3rd day problem I've been having. Later when I have some extra cash ill try other brands of blades and see if I can dial in a favorite. For now I stuck with the Chinese Schick blades I have. Hopefully my other SE comes in the mail with the next week so I can continue my focus the way I planned

Tranquility Wednesday Another great shave with Reef Point soap. This time I used Tranquility- a pleasing combination of lavender and peppermint that gives a light cool while it calms. Thick lather appeared immediately with the HIS brush, setting up my stubble for the Fatboy. I used a 9-7-7 progression for a drama free BBS. I finished with cologne Russe and Givenchy Pi to carry the lavender note. Prep: Van Yulay PSO Soap: Reef Point Tranquility Brush: HIS Razor: 59 Fatboy 9-7-7 Blade: Voskhod (1) AS: B&M Cologne Russe; Givenchy Pi
Guys, I almost needed a fur coat when I finished my shave. The Glacial Lemon Chill soap produced FRIGID lather porn for me and really felt like dunking my head into a bucket of ice-cold lemonade. The Glacial Wintergreen balm and witch hazel felt so cold that it was just about borderline-painful. (In a good way, of course!)
