Thank you Joe.

 

Thank you Gary.

 

13 Nov 2024

1 Days growth
Similar setup…
Soap = Lea soap
Brush =Semogue OC Finest Badger, soaked, shaken lightly
Bowl = Timeless bowl (is it my imagination or does this bowl create more bubbles in the lather?)
Razor = No 66 Gillette birth year Aristocrat: 4th time out.
Blade = Vintage Gillette super stainless (1)
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayers rose petal, Nivea Balm
ASL = Clubman Whiskey Woods
Scent = Bulgari Wood Essence
Damage = none, but the Alum was fairly noticeable for a short time
Passes = 2 plus liberal clean ups

80 swirls and around 8 cc water for abundant lather

The No 66 and the Vintage Gillette Blade were super smooth even on Day 1 of the new blade
Markedly different to the Kai. I anticipate getting 3 good and maybe one extra shave out of this blade. It’s almost as if you have to try really hard to do any damage

Of course some parts of the beard map can take more pressure than others, other areas do still need a light touch, par for the course

Very enjoyable and comfortable smooooooth shave

Have a great Wednesday one and all

 

For this morning(Wednesday), I came back with Stoylin Ramblin Man, but had a different

Brush-Crown King(Duro Spindle Tali)

Very happy again with the overall result. Clean and clear all over.I was glad I did better on both sides of Porcupine Alley than yesterday(that is, no extra work was needed). 2 passes. No damage(cuts, Knicks, Polka-Dots, Red Ball Sunsets). Good close with the Stoylin RM aftershave. I should use RM more than I have been-it's nice. As Outstanding As It Gets.

 

Excellent shave and setup Joe. Congrats on the sinking of Busta’s Blend.

 

Thanks Joe. It wasn't cold enough for me to wear a hat.

 

Very fine setup and shave Chris.

 

SRS # 1202

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: AJ Jordan Old Faithful Cocolobo scales
Brush: Sawdust Creation Studio Working Man Blues
Pre-Shave: Pears Transparent Soap
Lather: PAA Atomic Age Bay Rum
Aftershave: FreyjasMagic Thor’s Hammer Bay Rum
Additional Care:
Omega Alum
Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel
Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm

Sticking with the theme for the month with either Bay Rum or Dark scented shaves. This tub has been designated as the next tub to meet up with the Edmund Fitzgerald. If all goes according to plan the matter should be taken care of before the New Year. I estimate approximately 35 grams of soap left in the tub.

The A J Jordan straight delivered an exceptionally smooth and comfortable shave this morning. The scent of the soap and splash were a perfect match for our chilly start to the morning. The usual three passes to get the job done.

Hope you all have a great day.

 

I would venture to guess that it is your imagination. I get a great lather with the Tumeless bowl. I used it exclusively with the Tim’s Soap Busta’s Blend which I just finished. Great shave Chris.

 

Thank you Joe.

Good afternoon.

Straight Razor Shave #585
Ralf Aust
MrEE LE #10 Cashmere Brush
Angora Soaps Midnight Lavender SS and AS
Stirling Alum Block
Personal Care Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 48.5 hrs



I went with my other Ralf Aust straight razor and it still is sharp. Did a three pass error-free shave for a BBS smooth shave.
I haven't used Midnight Lavender from Angora Soaps so it was about time. It's my only puck in my den and once it's gone then that's it because that company no longer exists so I use it judiciously. Anyway, here is my lather:



I got a alum zing under my chin, but that was it. Splashed on the witch hazel and the glorious matching aftershave to put the cherry on top of this shave. Take care.

 

Terrific shave Joe.

 

Super setup and shave Gary.

 

fine angora shave and pic Joe.

 

Thanks Gary.

 

Great choice Gary(course you knew I'd say THAT .

 

thank you Paul
