today's shave was relaxing, no work no play today, just chilling. the shave was slow and thorough. three passes plus touch up. did some Gillette slide on problem spots. I'm clean as a whistle. the rose scent makes me think of a cowboy coming to town and getting cleaned up after being on the trail for a while.
definitely a no plans, no reservations kind of day.
y'all have a relaxing weekend

A late-morning Saturday shave—done with actual daylight streaming through the window…a rarity for me this week!
A very good shave, too!

Enjoy the weekend, all!

Nice shave, even though I feel like I cheated by switching soaps. I'll be back to the Prep SS tomorrow. I did pick up another antique store straight so if I can get off my butt today I might give it a go in the next day or two. Just what I needed another straight, I kinda liked the scales though. Have a good one.

 

Have you tried any of the barrister and mann soaps yet?

 

I'm going to pick one tomorrow and use it. I just smelled each one, took one out to feel it's texture. They all smell amazing! It will be fun

 

First time I have seen that type of handle on a Merkur Progress, I like it

 

Sounds intriguing

 

Thanks Guy! I replaced the standard crappy white plastic knob with a custom Bob's Razor Works (BRW - Cooncat Bob - RIP) Stainless knob PIF'd to me by Stingraysrock. It not only extends the handle length but, also gives additional weight and a better balance to the Progress handle. I love the performance with this custom handle extension.

 

Razor: GEM Micromatic Clog Pruf
Blade: GEM
Brush: Muhle Black Fiber synthetic
Lather: Dr. Dittmar

Good shave. The Dr. Dittmar is adequate.

 

Prep: No.7 Face Wash
Razor: Utopia
Blade: Ladas
Brush: Chopped Made Rite Finest
Lather: Speick Shave Stick
Post: Maggard Razors Alum
Aftershave: Barbasol Pacific Rush
Balm: No.7 Calm Balm

I was generously gifted the Utopia, Speick, and the Ladas by RaZorburn123.
I have fallen in love with the Speick. The Ladas blade was great and sharp, I think I would buy at least 20 of em to have on hand. The Utopia is a HOSS I should have stopped at two passes. Pass three wrecked my shave. I'll use it for thick growth days. I discovered new things today... the hard way

 

I'm glad you liked everything, Speick is one of my favs. The Ladas are sharp, yes the Utopia is a beast!
