C. O. Bigelow
Razorock Plissoft
Gem Jr. w/Gem Stainless (2)
3 passes

Second day with the Gem combo. Another decent shave. I didn't do a touch-up because I felt like I was pushing it. Didn't need the styptic nearly as much as yesterday.

Razor: Personna Floating Head
Blade: Gillette Twinjector (12)
Pre Save Oil: Homemade
Brush: VDH Badger
Lather: Proraso Green
AS: Mennen Afta


Boy, did I ever lather-up. Beautiful, fluffy white clouds of Proraso, used almost all of it on 2 passes, WTG/ATG - almost no clean up. What a fantastic shave. Pride goeth before the fall. Somebody catch me. Happy Camper, wishing the same (shave) for each one. God Bless.

GartBnx.....

 

FUNNY You say that! I found recommendations for Chris and I am sending him my BARBASOL Floating head in a few weeks - I was lucky he added me to his list - man he does FANTASTIC work and seems like a total gentleman so far in my email corresponding.

Peace,
Jamie

Have a great day!​

The Shave Plan For Wednesday:

same setup as today, except a brush change:

Brush-Crown King 26 MM Spindle Duro Tali

 

What motivates a guy with a razorback avatar to post an aggie 12th man towel? I'm confused.

 

Yesterday and today’s gear while giving my newly set Omega Pro knot a good break in. Thanks, as always, to Adam @Drygulch and Jason @jtspartan for their contributions to this morning’s shave! I spaced out and did 2 passes today, but achieved a nice DFS nonetheless

 

Today's shave was with a trusted Japanese Razor. 1 pass with minor touch up, resulted in a DFS. One small nick on the chin. This is a well balanced and well made razor.

Razor- Japanese "T.F.Hairop 120" Barbers First Quality. Swedish Silver Steel.
Brush- B400 By Tom
Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy scented
Aftershave- Vintage Avon Spicy. Avon Viking Horn decanter.
