    Olive Oil Soap and RSC Facial Scrub
    Proraso Sensitive Preshave
    OSP Bay Rum Soap
    Yaqi Mysterious Space 26mm Tuxedo Brush
    Muhle R41 (2011) Razor
    Gilette Super Thin Blade
    Alum Block and Rinse
    BBA PS Balm
    Brian's Homemade Bay Rum

    Today's shave with the R41 felt much better. I was more confident and there was only minimal sting at the spot I always have to touch up when shaving.

    2 passes and the aforementioned touch up for a BBS shave:)

    Enjoy your weekend everyone!

    I was curious to see how smooth the combination of Cobra/Feather was on less than 24hrs growth.
    With the slickness and cushion of Stirling as the Cobra's ally, the stubble stood no chance and my skin feels smooth and soft.
    Have a great weekend everyone.

    Prep: Hot water, b&bw lavender and sandalwood body oil massage
    Soap: Mama Bear
    Razor: Flic “High Class” 5/8
    Brush: RR Monster Synthetic
    Post: Hot water rinse followed by cold water rinse.
    Aftershave: Witch hazel/Nivea face cream topped off with Canoe EDT & EDC

    A day and a half worth of scruff turned into bbs. This Flic ( like most Solingen Straights) has an exceptional edge and hold it well. On that note: the other Flic is on deck for tomorrow:)
    Enjoy your weekend, gentlemen!

    Catie’s Bubbles La Terre Verte today. 20 seconds to load the RazoRock/Zenith Chubby Extra Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Vintage Schick Plus Platinum still in the Gillette Black Beauty. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with Bentley Intense EdT.

    A "classical" shave to be sure! A two pass, minor touch-up, BBS shave this morning.

    Soap: RazoRock Classic - yummy marzipan scent coupled with great performance and post shave feel
    Brush: Omega 10086 boar - love these little guys for travel and for starting full tubs of soap
    Razor: RazoRock German 37 slant - has to be one of the best bang for the buck slants available
    Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium (3) - fast becoming a top blade in my rotation
    Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman - a classic in it's own right

    Prep: Hot towel
    Pre shave: Prep
    Razor: Barbaros TR-1
    Blade: Astra S/P
    Brush: 'The Duke' (Duke 3 Best)
    Soap: Grooming Dept: Mallard
    Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / Tallow + Steel: Dark Aftershave

    Well, Mallard lived up to the hype, and provided the base for an outstanding shave with the TR-1, a razor that I find to be on the aggressive side of the tracks... BBS, and feeling fine.

    This Rockwell soap which my father-in-law bought me is fantastic - what a beautiful barbershoppy, old-school scent it has and does it ever lather like a champ. It doesn't have quite the moisturizing that a Stirling soap has but I'd still rate it as a 7/10 so it's fairly decent that way. It's made in Toronto, Ontario so it's another Canadian product that I never knew about until yesterday. The Booster Polar Ice aftershave felt so good - no menthol effect, but who cares. Now I smell like an old barber much to my wife's chagrin. This shave was BBS and so enjoyable!

    Have a great day!
