Saturday Straights Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Colgate Shaving Mug Soap
Jayaruh #144 Badger
J.R. Torrey 5/8
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
English Leather

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Colgate Shaving Mug Soapp face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #144 badger brush. I did two passes with the J.R. Torrey 5/8 straight and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then English Leather AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

I enjoyed mine very much - this Palmolive Menthol cream lathered great and gave me a good menthol kick along with a relaxed post-shave feeling on my skin. My Super Speed/Astra duo cleaned me up BBS so easily. I exchanged the Aqua Velva Ice Blue for the Musk version at the last minute.

Have a great day!

Good morning friends. A fine three pass shave this morning with the Muhle R41. Excellent lather from the KMF SC. I finished with Fine L'Orange... Smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends. ☺️

 

Ikon Tech & Assured SS blade #3
Yaqi Barber Pole
GD Voyage
Humphreys Alcoholado Maravilla
Nivea Sensitive Cooling A/S splash
Acqua Di Gio Profumo edt


A great, great shave. Though for me the third shave with this blade is the max, with the Tech it gave a surprisingly good, practically BBS finish minus the throat area (tough spot with the Tech for me). Gave myself 3-4 weepers as the blade was near its death. But with the GD Voyage, Humphreys and Nivea, they helped in keeping my face & skin in order with minimal residual irritation, gone in 15-20 mins. And what can I say about the Incense, Patchouli and fresh vibe masterpiece of AdG Profumo? Pure sensory bliss. Every good shave comes with its reward.The Misses getting close and personal with a few smooches. May everyone have an awesome shave and a great day Gents...

Thank you, Steve. The Pareidolia is a great soap. I also like the CK base, and this one performs just like the other soaps. The scent is a woodsy scent, and you do get a little anise mixed in. The scent is in my top three now.

The Green Ray brush has some nice backbone but is extremely soft at the same time. It is somewhat similar to the Cashmere knot.

 

Great picture, Roby!

 

Thanks Jim. Have a great day buddy ☺️

DFS, with my meds failing. Plenty of lather, just had hard time keeping the blade steady. I did finally get through without any blood. A 2 pass shave, WTG/ATG lots of touching up. That was the most difficult part. However I`m satisfied with the overall shave. Happy Camper here asking God to Bless each and all.

Brush: First Shave with JR280!
Razor: Gillette Double Ring
Blade: Astra SP (1)
Soap: Ghost Town Barber
Aftershave: Nivea Men Sensitive Skin

Was a great shave this morning! JR280 is a great brush lathered the GTB quickly! Put the new Astra in and away I went. Love the double ring just don’t get it out very much. Was a very efficient and comfortable shave!

 

The Schick Proline sits a bit too aggressively in the De Haven blade holder (a new one, I sold my other), not sure if it's the blade or holder, further experimenting called for. Head shave splendid with the Rotbart 15.
