CeraVe facial cleanser
HTGAM unscented soap
HIS synthetic brush
ShaveCraft 101 razor
Gillette yellow blade
Cold rinse
CeraVe lotion

Excellent shave! I had two days stubble and the open comb side of the ShaveCraft mowed it down effortlessly in the first pass. Three more comfortable passes gave me a perfect BBS face. It feels great.

 

Thanks, JS! The bay rum aftershave has a pleasant refreshing, cool feel on the face, no burn, no overwhelming fragrance.

 

Cool, it sounds like you will be enjoying the beautiful Pacific Northwest in the near future! Just for you Lloyd I'll send you a centerfold of the Ever Ready 1924. Sounds like you two are making beautiful music together!

 

Neat-looking razor!

 

Thanks Jeff!

 

My pleasure, Bruce. Use it in good health!

 

Well, I meant to shave with the Gillette Old Type, but it seemed a little wobbly when screwing in the handle, so I chickened out and used my MR10 instead.
First go with Petal Pusher Fancies, and it went well. It's very creamy even before lathering, which it seems to do well, if a bit thirsty. The black tea scent is unique for me so far, and hard to describe. It's like peppery tea, it's pleasant and short-lived.
The Shea Moisture products always seem to work great for me.

Tiki my tiki. How do I love you.

Tiki Tallow
Toro Mastiff w/Permasharp Stainless(2)
PAV Tulip w/26mm TGN F2
HBG Bay Rum

This was as smooth, close and comfortable a shave as a man could hope to have. No touch ups needed, and no AS. I used some because I'm like that, but I didn't need it.

 

Palmira soap
Semogue 2000
Shavette loaded with an Astra SP
Pitralon Polar

A very pleasant 2xwtg shave. I must remeber to use the shavette more often, as I seem to have forgoten of it's existance lately

 

Wow....You da Man!! I'm going to move these over to the SE and Injector Party Thread where they will continued to be checked out in the future...Beautiful Centerfolds...although a couple of these might need to be shown only after 11:00PM...
