(Face & Head Shave)

A new eclectic shave set up to start the Weekend..

The Edwin Jagger shave cream provided a wonderful slick lather in a short space of time....The scent to my nose is a nice clean zest scent that doesn't over power your senses, but lingers in between each pass leaving a wonderful post shave feel.

Another close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

Brush: Hembree Derlin Paragon Boar 25 mm
Lather: Wholly Kaw King of Oud
Aftershave: Razorock Stallion
Additional Care:
Omega Alum

Wonderful shave with the King of Oud and Genco straight. Danny’s, @Hembree, Derlin handle fitted with the Paragon Boar brush whipped up a voluminous lather. Of course the lather was chilled nicely in the iced watered brush scuttle.

Three passes led to a super smooth shave with minimal post alum report. Looked good for this dearly Saturday.

Hope you all have an enjoyable day.

prep-Dove Care+ Men Bodywash(in shower)
lather-Ike (Strike Gold Shave)
brush-Jayaruh#59
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE
A.S.-Ike(Strike Gold Shave)

Fine shave overall. 2 passes. No damage. While I must deal with the "Ike-JFK" confusion on the scent, it's one of my favorites, no doubt. I'm surprised I don't see any Eight And Bob dupes from other artisans. AS OUTSTANDING AS IT GETS.

 

Nice shave Joe...glad to see the brush is still in the rotation.

Take care.

 

I probably said this before, but great dog photo on the macduff soap.

Isn't that brush so purdy. @JACarbone .

No shave today but Yesterday's Shave was off the charts....doesn't get any better.

We are having some very bad weather headed our way. We have been getting things nailed down so to speak and getting the storm pit ready just in case.

Happy Saturday everyone.

Greetings,

A wonderful lather from the HWF Lanolin Shaving Soap (No.2) The Tea Tree & Lavender essential oils gives the soap a pleasant mild medicinal scent with a wonderful post shave feel from the lanolin making my mature rhino skin feel superb.

I count myself very fortunate that that my skin type doesn't have any adverse reaction from the lanolin & essential oils that are added to the HWF soaps.

March Mitchell’s Match-up and Mix up

2 Days growth

Hot Water Prep and Preshave = Palmolive Lather shave regular
Cream/Soap = Stirling Bergamot and Lavender
Brush = Omega boar 10049
Bowl = white plastic bowl
Razor = Gillette NEW No 77 thin handle tech 1945 46.8 grams
Blade = Permasharp (1)
Passes = 2 and done
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayer’s rose petal, TOBS royal forest
ASL = Proraso Barbe Dure with Oud drops
Scent = Proraso Wood and Spice
Score = 9.9 / 10
Damage = none

I dug out this little razor I got a few months ago, time to give it another go. With a fresh blade I decided that I needed thick lather so I whipped up some Stirling and lathered straight over the top of the Palmolive for a delightful thick and slick super lather. Not a bubble in sight. Using the heavier Muhle Rocca 96 in the last few days taught me to use a lighter touch which came in handy today. Two passes only needed for one of the smoothest shaves yet. This little razor is a keeper

Saw my skin check Dr last week. Strangely the solar keratosis that I was planning to have removed because I could no longer shave over it has gone flat. Maybe gone into hiding, still dark, but seems OK. No idea how or why it got smaller on its own but glad its gone. Another ray of sunshine on a blessed Sunday

Have a great Sunday lads and lad-esses

Back to the Muhle tomorrow

 

Fantastic shaves and pics

 

Wow, you are planning for April already. I am still just getting used to it being March Lol!

Some posters say the Yaqi DOC Mellon is a mild one. I believe its a clone of another but remain confused about which is mild and which is aggressive. Any comments Barry?
