    Decadent December!!

    December 30, 2018

    Razor - 1960 (F4) Gillette Toggle (9)
    Blade - [​IMG] (1)
    Soap - Stirling Orange Chill
    Brush - The Canuck
    Post - Alum

    Only two more Decadent December shaves in 2018 so I need to make them count. Let's go back to the Gillette Toggle. Add a Sharp Star blade from Moscow. Then, put the Canuck and Stirling Orange Chill together for the lather. Yep, that works when you're looking for a decadent shave. Always a pleasure to handle the Toggle and running it wide open guarantees a good shave. The Orange Chill is not an overpowering scent, but strong enough to make its presence known and really adds to the shave. The menthol gives it that nice kick and chill to the finish.

    Two passes and some extra touch up on the neck that created a couple of weepers. Nothing too bad. Nice near-BBS finish and we're down to one shave left in 2018. Hard to believe we've made another year pass already.

    A reminder that the January 2019 30DC thread will not open until tomorrow closer to midnight.

    Cold Water Wash
    Eskimo Tuxedo
    Jayaruh #336
    Bunny V3 Injector
    Schick Proline B20
    CWR
    Osage Rub

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Eskimo Tuxedo Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #336 brush. I did two passes with the Bunny V3 Injector Razor with a Schick Proline B20 blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Brush: Thater Silvertip-26mmx55mm

    Barrister & Mann Seville today. 20 seconds to load the Thater Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I loaded a new Perma-Sharp Super in the Maggard V2 Open Comb. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Bentley Intense EdT.
