TSD Lanolin Iced Sub-zero
Henry Sears and Son Queen 3/4
Stirling Unscented PSB
Tabac AS

A great shave this morning with the Henry Sears and Son. I find it to be a very smooth shaver, and it is a heavy blade, which I seem to prefer at this point. I ended with a DFS quality shave. I topped it off with some Tabac AS, which got me a compliment from my wife when I gave her a good morning kiss. It was a great start to my Sunday. Unfortunately, an issue came up at the refinery, so I am off to work for a bit. Hope everyone has a great day.

 

Today's shave

 

Very nice setup!

 

I always thought the same thing. It can happen.

An interesting shave this morning. This was my first time using the Ikon Tech head. I received this as a gift from @Boojum1. Let's just say this razor is aggressive to me. I felt the blade much more than a Slim on 9. The Ikon Tech is also very efficient and made short work of the stubble. I went 2 passes, XTG and ATG, followed by minor touch ups and ended up with a near BBS shave. I did nick myself twice. With more use this will be a great weekend razor for me. Finished off with a splash of F&C Shambala and I am off to get some fish tacos. I hope everyone has a great Sunday.

Second straight shave, gave myself a decent cut - no stitches or anything - but otherwise not bad. Far less razor burn than yesterday. Still not DFS, but not shabby either.

 

Thanks for the site.

 

Pass the eye bleach...

 

Have safe journeys! Too bad NBA was the wrong night last week!

 

Thank you Doug.

 

No problem, to be honest it's my only silvertip brush, so I have nothing to compare it against, I just know I enjoy it. On the other hand I also use their soap, and be forewarned, after every shave with it I notice a side effect, I throw in a huge lip of Copenhagen, chop down a tree, drink a glass of whiskey, rebuild my transmission, and set the head space timing on my guns before heading to work. So be warned. Works great though.

 

That was a bummer. One day too early to see my Kings and get to meet you. Another time.

 

Let me know when you roll through next, I'd love to meet up for Coffee or Phô or NBA if available.

 

That's a deal. Will do. Likewise if you ever find yourself in Sacramento.
