Saturday



L'Oréal Men Expert Hydra Energetic face wash
Weishi 9306-C Gunmetal razor
Rapira Swedish Supersteel (1) blade
Semogue 1305 boar brush
RazoRock Classic SS
WTG/WTG/XTG/ATG
Penguins Bay Rum AS

I hadn't shaved for 3-4 days, since my disastrous results with the Fatip Piccolo.
With an extra WTG pass, the Weishi did a really good job.
It might be a late Super Speed clone, but whereas I can't enjoy a good shave with a late Super Speed, this Chinese knockoff was great.
It was my first real shave with the Weishi, since the last time was a rescue shave from the Piccolo.
First shave with the Semogue as well. Boar smell almost gone after numerous fake-break-in-lathers.
Great performance as expected from Semogue.

Borderline BBS!​

Thank you for the kind words!

Star Wars Shave
Razor: Merker Futur Polished Chrome 2015 (1.5)
Brush: Rubberset 400 #3 WD 24/50 Silvertip (Jedi Lightsaber)
Mug: Old Spice 1985 Cobalt Blue
Cream: Truefitt&Hill No 10
Blade: Feather (2)
Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Jack Black balm, Halston Z-14 cologne

A long time ago far far away, actually I just shaved yesterday in the other room. Star Wars, what a movie! Go see it! Ok, I'm a self confessed Star Wars junkie, so that's the theme for the day. I feel like I have 2 Lightsabers now, and they both work very well.
Put a dab of Truefitt&Hill No 10 into my favorite OS mug. The Lightsaber whipped up a nice warm lather, and off we go. The Futur is a great looking razor, and I'm leaving it on 1.5 as it works will for me. It has a nice weight and good balance, and surprisingly the polished surface is not slippery to hold. It made quick work in 2 passes WTG XTG. A little touchup on my neck ATG and done. The WH felt good, nice and cool. After cleanup some JB and when it dried, some Halston Z-14 cologne, R2-D2's favorite. May the FORCE be with you..... always...... Y'all!

Thanks!
Guy, this Fenney is large (biggest blade I currently have) with slightly oversized scales, yet extremely comfortable to use.

Beautiful vintage brush!

New knot, vintage handle. I like it very much. @HoosierTrooper did the work on it.
