Blade: Wilkinson (5)

Same setup as yesterday. Flare tip is an excellent razor. DFS today. Been in meetings all day and I'm not a happy camper when things don't go my way when I'm paying the freight. Such is life.

 

The man in black...

 

Excellent Setup!

Saturday's


TESC Pre-Shave Oil
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Jayaruh #49 Boar
Pal Adjustable
Schick Injector
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Rose Petal WH
Aqua Velva Ice Blue

The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #49 boar brush. Two passes with my Pal Adjustable razor and a Schick Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Aqua Velva After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Thank you! I love the wood case

Great to have you back, Alan!

 

Yardley soaps are fantastic! The Lavender is excellent but the Oatmeal/Almond is my favorite.

 

3/03/16 - The Clean Shave and Speick

Never can go wrong with Speick! I'm not feeling too good today, so this is just what I needed.



Day 2 was just as good as yesterday's. This razor and blade combo is fantastic. With it's mid-aggression and heavier weight, it's a smooth, clean cutter! Brush whipped up a good thick lather.

Today's video I go over my thoughts and tips on shaving the neck and trying not to get razor burn. Enjoy!

 

SHAVE OF THE DAY


Prep: gustafsons woodlands
Razor: Gillette ball end tech
Blade: Timor (5th shave)
Brush: RazoRock plissoft
Soap: Sapone Di Paolo Bosco
Post: Folsom & CO Capri


2 pass shave today, BBS finish. I was just planning on doing a test lather, but the lather came out so nice I couldn't waste it. Very thick, and has a nice woodsy scent. Finished off with F&C Capri. Hope everyone had a great shave!

 

I like your thinking @SHAVEWIZARD420...this lathers too good to waste...let's go to work!

 

Thank you.

 

Lol thanks Robby. I was unsure about Aloe vera being the 1st ingredient, but it made a santa beard lather. So far so good.
