Greetings,

Early morning shave,

A great shave to end my shaving week off on a high.

A close comfortable 2 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Boots Freshwood ASB.

My face is feeling smooth, & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

 

Thanks, Joe. I was relieved to see the nick last time was some sort of anomaly and not going to be a regular habit.

 

Sounds interesting. Of course, I already have four TOBS shave creams (Avocado, Lavender, Royal Forest and Mr. Taylor) that are rapidly turning into croap on my shelves, so I probably don't need to add a fifth...

 

Thanks, Gary. The "scentless" Key Lime is actually starting to have a faint scent again as I moisten it and gradually advance the stick in the holder.

 

Great shave, report and pic, Barry!

I notice you seem to have quite successful and enjoyable shaves with basic commercial drugstore shave products. Just proves that you don't need $300 artisan badger-hair brushes, $400 gold-plated razors, and $100 artisan shave soaps and matching balms or splashes to remove whiskers painlessly. (Although those can all be nice to play with...)

 

i am in a similar boat.6 or 7 tubs mostly 5 years old or more..thankfully it doesn't effect their performance,almost better,imo..

 

love the jeeves..

 

awesome shave and pic Barry.

 

Thank you Gary.

 

Thank you John...The vast majority of my shave set ups are inexpensive which provide me with close comfortable acceptable shaves. And I agree you don't need artisan shaving products to get good shaves it's all down to Technique & shaving confidence...However, it's down to individual's choice what they want to buy & use...I'm not a brand snob, I find it pretentious superficial & pointless..As always choice & opinions are subjective.

 

Come on John, we know you want to... Lol!

the more the merrier!

I do have a few TOBS but haven't used them in a while, thanks for the nudge

 

12 Dec 2024

Popping in again for a bit...

2 Days growth

Usual Prep and Preshave = T&H No 10
Cream/Soap = RasoZero, a generous freebie that come with my last order
Brush = Semogue C3 boar, staring to wear in nicely, doesn’t load as much as a larger boar, but easy enough to load more
Bowl = White plastic
Razor = Gillette Aristocrat 1947~
Blade = Gillette Vintage made in Australia (5)
Passes = 2 +++
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayers rose petal, Nivea balm
ASL = Fine Latigo
Scent = Jo Malone Velvet Rose and Oud cologne intense
Score = 9.9 / 10
Damage = none

(Been using this Aristocrat for the last few days, with Derby blades, Fine soaps and generally having fun.)

A lovely razor as can be expected from this brand and vintage. Easy ATG, easy buffing even with water

The RasoZero has a delightful berry, liquorice/anise scent. Doesn’t need much water. Happy!

Have a lovely Thursday one and all

 

Ah, simple pleasures.

 

DE Shave # 567 - DEcember Shave - PAA Prismatic

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: PAA Prismatic
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
Brush: Shore Shave Player 26 mm
Lather: PAA Atomic Age Bay Rum
Aftershave: Sailor Jerry Spiced Navy
Additional Care:
Omega Alum
Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel
Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm

Another wonderful prismatic shave this morning. The boar brush easily whipped up a nice slick lather sufficient enough for three passes. The Prismatic razor continues to sing as it removes my daily growth.

The post shave alum report was nonexistent. The sailor Jerry aftershave is a nice finish to the shave as a pair as well with the bay room soap. I wholeheartedly encourage those of you gentlemen that do not have the Sailor Jerry aftershave to consider picking it up in the new year.

Hope you all have a great day gentlemen.

 

Well, on any Throwback Thursday I'd always like to do a top-grade shave. Didn't happen this morning, but I'll take it. Two cuts down at Cactus Nation, but they were neutralized by th cold-water rinse and A.S. Very well-done everywhere else. About 0:40 at the Loading Dock with the big Stoylin brush working with the Stoylin soap.Clean and clear at the cheeks&sideburns. I had to do a second trial at the jawline, but got it. Good close from rhe Agadir A.S. Fairly Outstanding.
