    Wednesday Shave

    Lather: Southern Witchcrafts Incorporeal soap
    Brush: Pueblo by That Darn Rob
    Razor: Henson AL13 mild
    Blade: RK Stainless
    Post: Southern Witchcrafts Incorporeal splash

    Excellent shave all the way around. I love this wonderful brush and the Southern Witchcrafts soap performed great. I am giving the RK stainless blade another try. These are the blades that Henson supplies. This first shave with the blade was quite comfortable. I will see how it goes on day 2.

    Hi Friends,

    Here my Wednesday Shave (07.12.2022)

    3BB16A69-CF06-4994-8243-58F5FDB44110.jpeg
    Razor: Feather Artist Club SS // Blade: Kai Captain Titan Mild // Soap: PAA Cavendish // Brush: Shavemac 173 Synthetic // Aftershave: PAA Cavendish

    What a great shave. I have not used the Feather for ages…so the first strokes were a bit tricky to find and hold the correct angel, but thanks to the Muscle memory the rest of the shave was no problem. It was a very good, smooth and gentle shave. I had one little cut which i registered a few minutes after the shave…even the Aftershave had not shown anything…funny…

    Cavendish is a scent which seems to be made for this time of the year. So cozy and warming…fantastic.

    I am not 100% BBS but for the first shave since a very long time with a Shavette i am absolutely happy with the results.

    This is it for now.

    Take your time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

    Greetings
    Thorsten

    Early shave, late post. Haven’t used a Voskhod in a very long time. It did very well in what can be not the smoothest shaver. Everything worked as it should.
    Have a great night all!

    Post:
    Cold water face wash with brush squeezing's, Cold Water Face Rinse./Alum Rub./Cold Water Rinse/Homemade (~Autumn/Winter mix~) peppermint lavender, eucalyptus, + Tea Tree essential Oils Mixed Together With 200ml of Care+Witch Hazel. / Brut Attraction Totale ASL. / Creightons Sensitive PSB.

    Greetings,

    Early Morning Shave,

    A superb comfortable shave from the Merkur 34C & Super-Max SS to finish my shaving week off wonderfully.

    Both the Indian made GWS (Saloon Pack) & Super-Max SS have performed wonderfully throughout the week. If I were to choose which was the better blade it would be the Vidyut Super-Max SS as it has a good equal match of being sharp & smooth.

    The WS (Saloon Pack) however, is also a winner with it's smoothness. Both blades i will revisit in future shaves.

    As always, blade opinions/reviews are the most subjective of all traditional wet shaving topics. YMMV.

    A very comfortable 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Creightons Sensitive PSB.

    My face is feeling smooth cool, & smelling divine. ;)

    Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen. :cool:

    Thursday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Proraso Red
    Jayaruh #2 Badger
    3D AC-Matic Razor
    Feather Artist Club blade
    CWR
    Mennen Skin Bracer

    The Proraso Red Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #2 Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 3D AC-Matic Razor and the Feather Artist Club blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Mennen Skin Bracer. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Thank you Joseph, it really was. And, yes, I did forget about the close "parent. thesis". Just noticed that right before seeing your comment on the thing.
