SHAVE OF the day


Prep: Occams crushed lime
Razor: Gillette superspeed flair tip
Blade: Super-Max titanium
Brush: RazoRock plissoft
Soap: Ogallala lime & peppercorn
Aftershave: Ogallala lime & peppercorn
Balm: Myrsol Emulsion


Smooth 2 pass shave today. The Ogallala has a great scent, but the lather seemed to be lacking something today. It was much thinner lather than normal with this soap, so I must have not loaded enough soap. Other than that the shave went well. No nicks no irritation. Hope everyone has a great shave!

Thanks!

 

My goodness, how beautiful @celestino!

 

Razor: Gillette Black Beauty (R2) 1971
Blade: Personna SS Lab (4)
Brush: Fendrihen Silver Tip Badger Faux Horn Handle 22/49
Soap: Route 66 Frozen Margarita
A/S: Aqua Velva Ice Blue

Excellent Menthol Monday shave on a cool Winter's day. The Fendrihen Sliver Tip badger brush took what seemed like forever to stop loosing hairs. I was sure I was going to give up on it, but for some reason I just kept going back to it. Then all of a sudden it stopped loosing hair. Now it is a great brush.
DFS today with 3 passes. Excellent finish with Aqua Velva Ice Blue.


One of my great finds of 2015 was this Old Spice Decanter. Brand new for less than $10.00 plus shipping. 1973-1976.

Beautiful work of art.

 

Great picture of fine products.

 

Nice touch!!!

 

Thanks Doug !

 

Is it cold in here, or is it just me?

 

I see lots of pics of the Route 66 shaving soaps ... there goes my AD kicking in

 

You can't go wrong with Route 66.

 

January 18, 2016

Razor- G3 Aristocrat Adjustable (5)
Blade- GSB (1)
Brush- VdH Boar
Soap- Cella

I was really looking forward to this shave as I just got the GSBs last week. Unfortunately, I seem to have a streak going of what are otherwise great shaves that are marred by really stupid mistakes. Today, it was a slip of the wrist while changing directions resulting in a nasty scratch on the neck. DFS otherwise, so I can't really complain too much.

Nothing to do but reset and try to be more careful tomorrow.

 

Super coooooooool pic!
