    2nd gen British Aristocrat, Bic Chrome Platinum, shave 6

    After yesterday's shave with a 1st gen might as well finish off the blade on this razor to see if there is a difference. There is, the 1st gens are more aggressive but the 2nd gen is more efficient giving an even closer shave. BBS finish achieved.

    MONDAY'S SHAVE

    [​IMG]

    Perfumed by:
    Dominique Ropion
    [​IMG]

    Shampoo - Paul Mitchell (Tea Tree) Lavender Mint
    Bath Soap - C.O. Bigelow - Lavender & Peppermint
    Razor - Merkur Futur
    Blade - [​IMG] *3rd Shave
    Razor Stand by RV Shaving
    Shave Brush - Omega Hi-Brush 20mm Synthetic (Model# 46745 – 0146745)
    Brush Stand by Desire Metal Works
    Preshave Oil - Lather & Wood's "Unscented"
    Lather Bowl - Durance de Provence White Ceramic
    Shave Soap - Soap Commander "Wisdom"
    Aftershave - Thayers Witch Hazel "Unscented" *with added menthol
    Post-Shave Balm - Costume National Homme
    Deodorant - Nourish Organic "Fresh Fig"
    Fragrance - Costume National Homme

    At first I wasn't going to do a shave on this day off, but I decided to have a luxury bath day anyway. I decided to go with the C.O. Bigelow Lavender Mint bath soap (not pictured) instead this time around instead of the Fig scented soap.

    ***EDIT - 2-pass + clean up. Excellent shave! Zero irritation, smooth and I'm feeling much, much more sharp. The Futur delivers again. My best shaving, most consistent razor. Should be a fine rest of the day and tomorrow I'll skip the morning shave while I work from home.

    That is because it was my first shave with one. It was a gift from a friend.

    Time traveling again? You know how you can mess up that time-space continuum, right?

    Second shave with this John & William Ragg near wedge. Wonderful result. :happy036: I think skin stretching is a key component of shaving with these near wedges - even more so than is already true.

    A smooth & fantastic shave. Phenomenal how this razor performs for the little money spent on acquiring it. All barbershop scents today and Shannon’s never disappoints. Hugo Boss Number One is a classic throwback that brings back vibes from the late 70’s thru the mid 80’s, simply fantastic stuff. A wonderful evening and shaves to all....

    Thank you. All my pics are looking the same, but I liked this one.

    I like the word "caliginous". I've used it previously in a soap review and was chastised for using an archaic word. I say we bring it back! Nice shot, by the way!

    The light was kind in this shot. Very clean.

    First shave since Thursday morning and it was a nice one tonight. Two passes plus a little blade buffing for about as nice a shave as I could want.

    I should revisit my DE razors more frequently as I had forgotten how nicely some of them shave.

    Enjoy! Never tried the 70th, but am a huge fan of SV scents and the 4.3 base. Felce Aromatica, Desert Vetiver and this Cubebe are as good as it gets for me. The Colonia dupe (with Asylum) is pleasant, but a step behind, imho.
