This morning I reached to the back of the soap collection and pulled out a soap that I have had for some time, the Edwin Jagger. Now I have had this soap for about 3yrs. I have not used it since the beginning of this year and I have a little left at the bottom of the half pint jar. The scent was a little lacking so to help spruce it up I put a splash of aftershave on it. I loaded the JR #180 like I hated the soap, though I am just trying to use it up that way I can buy another soap. Face lathered to a really good lather followed by a three pass shave. Not the worlds best shave but okay. I need to work on my technique with this razor to get a better shave out of it. Finished off the shave with a cold water rinse and then some Stetson AS to finish it all off. The best part of an okay shave is I get to shave again tomorrow.

 

Thank you! I use Photo Lab. It's to use and adds some fun to the pics.

 

Cool type A Jim! And it looks like the knot in your 30DCLE is breaking in nicely!

The knot in your JR 180 looks super dense!

Tuesday's SE Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Tabac Shaving Cream
Jayaruh #217
Schick E3
Personna Stainless
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Lucky Tiger

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Tabac Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #217 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Schick E3 and a Personna Stainless blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Lucky Tiger AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Thank you, Andrew! The brush is definitely getting there. It is softer than some badgers I have.

Beautiful picture, Mark! Great background!

 

Thank you Andrew. You would think but not really. I have a couple of brushes from China that are SUPER dense and this one is not like those. I got the knot from @Sara-s in a PIF she did though I don't know where she got it. It's my favorite badger brush. It's a like a chihuahua, it thinks and acts bigger than it really is. The brush is only a 22mm knot but with the bloom on it, it's more like a 24mm knot. Plus it's nice and soft but still has a little scratch left in it.
