Awesome Fat Friday shave.

Happy Friday everyone!

 

REal good shave this morning....same arsenal as yesterday, hiowever the

Brush-Crown King Spindle Duro Tali

was different. Clean and cear all the way across and up/down. To me, you can't go wrong with the Dial 4 Men Bodywash(Cedar Leaf)and a Stoylin shave soap.(Unless you blow the Technique out of the water somehow). 2 passes. Zero across the board on cuts, Knicks, Polka-dots. The Agadir aftershave comes out in a weird direction, not straight down from the bottle-it suddenly takes a right turn from bottle to hand. I can manage that all right. As Outstanding As It Gets.

 

awesome shaves,gear and pics gents.

Superb shave with the old Gillette razor in my den. When I first picked up this razor about four years ago I was not impressed. I did not get a close shave. However, the more I used it I figured out the best angle to get the best possible shave.

Following a super three pass shave with a silent post alum report I had the opportunity to have my monthly breakfast with Joe, @Trigger, at a diner in a neighboring town of Port Jefferson. Since our favorite waitress, at our previous diner, has decided to move down south we figured we try a different establishment. No matter where we end up, we are two chatterboxes that can easily be at the diner for three hours if we wanted to.
Of course, lots of coffee.

Hope you all are having a great day.

 

Awesome Fst Friday shave Danny. I will have to bust out the Fat soon.

 

I ought to break out MY Royal Copenhagen before it gets stale.

 

Awesome shave as always Joe! Yes, I always enjoy our monthly get together. The time just goes by so quickly. I am going to have to check out the diner in the mornings before our next meeting to see if there are any decent looking waitresses. Yeah, I know we were spoiled with Pam at the other restaurant. Lol!

 

Thanks Joe....show the Fat some love.

 

Nice vintage shave Joe. I have never tried a Blue Tip but do have a slim adjstable. I've been looking forward to getting a GSB back in a razor again. It should be my next blade up!

 

Very nice shave Gary. I will be receiving some Suneko blades to the Southern den in about two weeks.

 

Thank you Joe.

 

Thank you Scott.

Good afternoon.

Straight Razor Shave #517
7/8 J A Henckels Friodur
Hembree-Maggard Timberwolf Brush
TSD Irish Spring SS and AS
Stirling Alum Block
Modessa Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 24 hrs



I haven't used my Friodur in awhile so it got the call. It has 45 shaves on it since I last honed it and it is still sharp. The Shave Den Soap was face lathered, hence, no lather shots. This soap is easier to load from the container than it is to bowl lather. It does provide a nice, slick lather, but it is lightly scented.

I did 3 passes for a BBS shave without any drama. The alum feedback was negligible. Finished this session with my normal routine. I am happy with this shave. Take care.

 

Excellent Henckels shave Joe. Too bad it is not the Filly 14
