Wonderful picture, Doug! The blue of the Myrsol just fits in that scenery.

 

Thanks Roby.

 

Thank you Jim. A very good aftershave also.

 

Great looking brush. How did you find the Timeless .68?

 

This Gem has been in my drawer for quite a while now. It is the first time I use it. I began with a carbon blade. That didn't go well at all. After switching to a Stainless blade it went much better. Do carbon blade need to be sharpened be fore use? Overall only a fair shave today. Perhaps there is a learning curve with this Gem.

Have a great week everyone.

Post: Thayers Lemon WH.
Aftershave: TOBS No. 74 Victorian Lime

Beautiful shave. Old Spice Lime isn't very strong in scent but boy does it lather wonderfully and is slick. The Tuxedo Knot is IMO one of the best knots on the market. Oristo Stealth provided a smooth close shave.

Smell good. Feel good. Wet shaving.

 

Wonderful setup! Already looks like fresh powder on the ground.

 

Nice brush Kerry!

 

Beautiful setup, and just a fantastic brush.

 

Thanks Guy! I absolutely love the tuxedo knot.

 

Yes there is lots of snow on the ground. It's really snowing now. All is good, I think.

It's really good and beautiful brush, the amount of foam it produces enough for 18 passes

Decided to pull out the single ring Aristocrat after chatting on the forum about how terrible the shaves are with them. Lol why? Well because I want to love these damn razors.. the shave went better than normal but still left a bunch of weepers and of course the sting of the aftershave reminded me that the razor and I are still not seeing eye to eye. The soap performed fantastic . The brush is a travel brush I knotted with horse hair, but it's completely floppy, zero back bone . A decent shave but not a great shave

 

Cheers Friends,

here is my Shave of the Day:


Razor: Fatip Grande Gun Metal Black / Blade: Derby Premium / Soap: Sapone da Barba Vegetale alla Mandorla / Brush: PAV Brushworks / Aftershave: Faena Xylon & Myrtle / Mug: Schwarzweisskeramik

Very nice shave. I´ve used the Blade for the first time today and i have to say, i like them. They seem to have the right amount of sharpness and smoothness to provide good shaves. I have to try them now more often to definetly give it a yes or no, but today i liked the blade. The rest was good as ever when used...the PAV Brush lathered the soap up like a champ. Plenty of creamy, rich lather which made the shave a really good one. The Aftershave is one of the best in my Den. Smells very nice but what makes it a TOP Aftershave: Skin feel!!! Awesome!!!

I wish all of you a good start into the new week. Enjoy your shaves and take care.

Greetings
Thorsten​
