RazoRock 400 Noir Plissoft Synthetic Shaving Brush
Timeless Shaving Bowl
Williams Mug Soap
Above the Tie – Atlas, R2 Plate
Astra SP Blade
Nivea Post Balm
Pinaud Clubman Classic

The Williams was feeling neglected this morning so it had to make an appearance. Williams is just a soap that works and is nothing special. I added a splash of Clubman to the lather while whipping it up and that added a nice little scent to the lather. No blooming necessary!

Alum was quiet due to the excellent job from the ATT razor and I am really getting this thing dialed in. The baby was in the den this morning!

Finished up with some Nivea post balm and the Clubman.

I hope everyone has a great day! Take care.

 

cool shave and pic Danny..

Friday NOvember 22

No Repeat (mostly) NOvember. No repeats so far except for scuttle, blades, and alum. Up today, one of my Heljestrand lather catchers with a Heljestrand wedge blade.

Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
Soap - Barristers Reserve Cool
Brush - ThatDarnRob 26mm
Blade - CV Heljestrand Wedge (3)
Razor - CV Heljestrand lather catcher
Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Barristers Reserve Cool A/S

Shave rating 4.5 of 5

It was a tale of two passes. Didn't shave yesterday so shaving on 2 days growth. First pass WTG felt like I was pulling each whisker out. Thought I would have to stop and switch razors and blades. Finished the first pass and my face still felt like 60 grit sandpaper. I don't know why but decided to keep using razor and blade for 2nd pass. Relathered and did 2nd pass ATG and what a difference. This pass was smooth and everything was cut except my face. Finished the 2 passes DFS+. Maybe the blade could use a touch up on the 20k hone but it really shouldn't after 3 shaves. Anyway, love the scent of this soap and A/S but for some reason, I don't use it much. I thought the alum would be vocal but it was surprisingly silent. As noted, the A/S smells nice.

Happy NOvember and great shaves everyone.
