Souplex Razor
Suneko blade
PAA Amber Aerolite brush

Pretty darn nice shave to start the week with. The Souplex razor is not mentioned much as it's kinda rare and not well known. To bad cuz the darn thing works great. The vintage Seaforth is so nice; easy to lather, gives great protection and smells divine. So my face is very happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Shave of the Week Starting 5/6/2024

Gillette New razor (short comb)
Astra SP blade
Shave Revolution Synthetic brush
Col Conk Southwest Sun SC
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Various A/S

Found the Col Conk in my stash of stuff and decided to use it this week. Been awhile but it works pretty well, gives a thick cushiony lather that has a very nice scent. Kinda citrus and floral combined. Nice scent aside, it probably won't be my favorite cream but it's satisfactory. My face is content today. Now go enjoy your day folks.

A really nice/pleasant shave to start the week with. The Parker/Super-Max combo is superb for me. The Seaforth! SS is very nice also, easy to lather/good protection/nice scent. The Burma Shave brush is quite nicely broken in and does just fine. My face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Shave of the Week Starting 6/17/2024

Weber DLC razor
Gillette 365 blade
PAA Amber Aerolite brush
VDH Fresh Eucalyptus SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Various A/S

Saw that VDH has a couple of new SS and thought I'd try them out. I have used VDH products previously and have had nice shaves with them. This one's a bit different as it didn't make lather as easily as the Luxury or Original but it did make a fine lather that worked well. I'll use this one for the week and report on it later. Initial thoughts are that it's nice and has a pleasant but mild scent. At any rate, mu face is happy. Now go enjoy yoiur day folks.

 

Shave of the Week Starting 6/24/2024

Star 100 razor
Suneko blade
Stirling Synthetic brush
VDH Fresh Eucalyptus SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Various A/S

Decided to stick with the VDH shave soap again this week. It seems to be getting easier to lather and providing a better lather as well. The Star/Suneko is really nice, smooth/comfortable/effective and I think the Star razor is severely underrated. My face is happy. Now ge enjoy your day folks.

 

Shave of the Week Starting 01/07/2024

English Tech razor
EuroMax blade
Vie-Long Silver Tip Brush
Kent Shave Soap
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Various A/S

The Kent SS I have is a tallow version that works wonderfully well, giving a fabulous lather. Using a badger brush after using synthetics for so long is quite an adventure but worked out ok. The Vie-Long is a very nice brush. The English Tech is a treasure for me. Smooth/effecitve/comfortable = very nice indeed. So my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Shave of the Week Starting 8 July 2024

Razor.......Baili BD176
Blade........???
Brush.......Plisson/L'Occitane synthetic
Soap.........CCSW Irish Tweed
Balm.........Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
A/S...........Various

For some reason the need for a Baile razor has been bugging me for a while so I went ahead and got the BD176. Don't ask me why I have felt the need to get this one, don't know. Anyway, it's a pretty thing and shaves just fine. Now as for the blade, I thought they were some older Personna but it sure didn't shave like one. So it's a mystery but think I'll change to a Silver Star. The Cresent City Shave Works SS is nice, easy to lather and has pleasant scent. So I'll give today's shave a 7 and plan to do better tomorrow. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

Shave of the Week Starting 15 July 2024

Gillette Tech razor
Bic Astor blade
Maggard Synthetic brush
TSD 2X Iced Lemongrass SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
TSD 2X Iced Lemongrass A/S

My face is frozen! In a good way though. It's been about a year since I used this soap, guess that's part of the curse of having so much stuff. Anyway, a great shave was had. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

Not today, maybe tomorrow.

Where did you get that More For You?

 

I found it on ebay. Should still be available

 

Probably the best place, as I'm having trouble finding it here(Internet). Thanks for the hope that it is still available.
