    Effortless, 2 pass, minor touch-up, BBS shave this morning. The RR disruptor transformed a dollup of Derby cream into a knot full-o-slickness. Really like the scent of the Normal. Splashed on some Ice Blue and I'm smooth, toned and ready to go.

    Cream: Derby Normal
    Brush: RazoRock Disruptor
    Bowl: Dollar Tree salsa
    Razor: RazoRock German 37 slant
    Blade: Astra SP (2)
    Aftershave: Aqua Velva Ice Blue

    Menthol minimalist Monday
    Hot water wash with a washcloth
    Jack Black Muhle silvertip fiber
    Jack Black Supreme Cream (bombed)
    Jack Black Muhle r89?
    Astra ss (1)
    Jack Black Post Shave cooling gel
    Menthol Monday, I bombed JBSC. Jack Black shave set. Finish with jb gel. Nice shave, if variety wasn't a big factor for me, this set could be a daily driver. The huge handle is tricky for me personally. It did good today. I'd recommend this setup for guys who want only one.
    Hope y'all did as well, or better. 20180402_092835_resized.jpg

    Route 66 Bourbon Jungle today. 20 seconds to load the Honey Farm/TGB Premiun Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I moved the Personna 74 Tungsten to the Gillette NEW Short Comb. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Anucci Sport EdT.

    Monday.
    Prep: Hot towel
    Pre shave: Prep
    Razor: Barbaros TR-1
    Blade: Timor
    Brush: 'The Archduke' (Brad Sears Archduke 26/50 2-Band Manchurian)
    Soap: Lather Bros: Calle Ocho
    Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / The Sudsy Soapery: Lavender & Peppermint Aftershave Splash
    Fragrance: Bond No9 Harrods Amber

    What an outstanding shave... the Timor proved to be very smooth with the TR-1, and 'The Archduke' was an excellent choice for the Calle Ocho, and whipped up a very slick, moist lather... I must admit, I'm really enjoying this brush at the moment...

    Razor: Personna Floating Head
    Blade: Gillette Twinjector (9)
    Pre Shave: Homemade
    Brush: VDH Badger
    Lather: Proraso Green
    AS: Afta
    Newspaper Date: 26,1945


    A simple 2 pass, WTG/ATG. clean up was minimum. Smooth as always. Proraso is the cat`s meow. None better (for me). Cold water rinse topped with a liberal amount of Afta, and I`m home free. A fantastic shave, clean as a whistle and feeling like a million. God be with each and all.

    I had the same thought after my shave this morning! Everything clicked and worked together as a team. Yep, I think I will do it.
