    Tonight
    Hot Water wash
    T-400 / sivertip knot
    K-Worx NYML
    Tampa Shave Company chrome shorty
    Persona lab (2)
    Crusella&Co. Lavanda
    Dr.Neals Lavender body lotion
    Almost two days worth of stubble to mow. It itched already. Shower, then hot water wash, perfect sweet, rich, cushiony, slick lather. Aggressive razor, sharp blade, i could hear every hair get sliced as i felt the edge glide. Smooth comfy results. Finish with a lavanda wash(I thought it would sting a bit, but it didn't). Smoothed and soothed with Lavender body lotion.
    Perfect evening shave.
    Hope y'all did as well, or better.

    Razor - Soviet Consul (9)
    Blade - [​IMG] (9)
    Soap - Soap Commander Fortitude
    Brush - Stirling Pro Style Synthetic
    Post - Alum

    Well, I made it. Shaved and posted prior to midnight. Slow night on the ride shares after a busy run on the food end of things. I'm going out tomorrow morning to try GrubHub to see how it compares to DoorDash. It's a fun break from the rides, although running with food instead of people leaves little in the order of conversation. Food, however, is never drunk.

    The Consul wide open and the Personna 74 for the third time. Ninth time on the blade overall. Is it still smooth? Yep. Still sharp? Yep. Still delivered a near-BBS or better? Yep. Anything else to say about it? Nope. Soap Commander Fortitude is an awesome subtle scent. My wife agrees. Win/win.

    Have a great Friday and start to the weekend as it closes in on us!

    Man, you're lucky you got that Catie's Bubbles ADP scented soap. I'm jealous. That would be a great one to own. Wow.

    Razor - Edwin Jagger "Kelvin"
    Blade - [​IMG] *9th Shave
    Shave Brush - Vigshaving Nylon Synthetic
    Shave Soap - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - Big Shave East
    Aftershave/Fragrance - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - Big Shave East

    Been waiting to shave with this one.

    It has notes of Frangipani, Tobacco and Apricot. No top notes listed or development notes given on their site. I took a whiff of the shave soap and it smells nice, like a room air freshner type scent. I wouldn't call my initial impression groundbreaking. I think it will be enjoyable nonetheless.

    Friday's Shave
    zcws.gif

    Clubman Classic Shave Cream
    Williams Mug Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #30
    Razorock Black Hawk
    Feather Professional SE
    CWR
    Clubman Pinaud AS

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. I used Clubman Classic Shave Cream as a pre-shave. It is an non-lathering SC, so I just applied a thin layer before face-lathering the Williams Mug Shave Soap with the Jayaruh #30 brush. I did two passes with the Razorock Black Hawk Razor with a Feather Professional SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Clubman Pinaud AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Parker 94r razor
    Gillette Spoiler blade (5)
    JR #85 brush
    C.O. Bigelow SC
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    Barbasol Brisk A/S w/added menthol

    Well, shave #5 with the Spoiler blade felt like #1. This is a great blade and is treating my face very well. In fact, my face is very happy. Maybe the Bigelow helped too, it's a wonderful cream that I've ignored to long. Now go enjoy your day folks.
