    Satin Tip "The Purist" synthetic brush
    CO Bigelow SC
    Schick G4/Rt. 66 razor
    Personna blade
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    Colorado Sage Cologne

    1st use of the Satin Tip brush, have to try it a few more times before rendering judgment. Initial impression is that it's not bad. BTW, great shave for another hot/muggy SE Louisiana day

    Prep: Hot shower with Neutrogena Face Wash with menthol, home made PSO
    Razor: Merkur 37C, French Fau Frame Back straight razor
    Blade: Astra SP (7)
    Brush: Turkish #6
    Soap: DR Harris - Marlborough
    After: Home made ASB
    Cologne: Prada - Amber Pour Homme EDT

    A 2 pass Darn Fine Shave on Throw Back Thursday. The #6 brush whipped up the Marlborough into a wonderful lather. The 37C and the Frenchie did a great job knocking down the stubble. The home made ASB and the Prada were a nice finish to this shave.

    Have a blessed day!

    Too rough or not enough tallow?
    This shave was solid, but not the best. Maybe I just like tallow better than vegan soaps. I got a few weepers in places I rarely, if ever, get them. The soap seemed to give up excellent lather to my HIS XL, and felt great going on and while being shaved off by the Fatboy. Maybe two shaves in a row on 9 is too much? It sure felt great while it happened, but the Tonique burned much more than usual. Live and learn.

    Prep: Mickey Lee Lime preshave butter
    Soap: B&M Fougére Imperiale
    Brush: HIS XL lather monster
    Razor: 1959 Gillette Fatboy on 9 (does this thing go to 11?)
    Blade: Voskhod (1)
    AS: B&M Fougére Classique Tonique

    Shave of the day

    Pre- Hot shower, mentholated Corn huskers (before the shower)

    Soap/cream- Geo F. Trumpers shaving cream mix Sandalwood and Rose

    Brush- Plisson synthetic

    Razor- Merkur 37c

    Blade- Wilkinson sword(2)

    Post- Cold water rinse, Pinaud clubman classic Vanilla aftershave lotion and Nivea sensitive cooling aftershave balm

    Bowl lathered my cream. First time in a VERY long time. I like it! Why have I not been doing it a little more?

    The wilkinson sword performed good, a little better than the first use. I usually only use a blade twice, but im trying this blade for a third shave. It felt like it could do it with no problems.

    A nice 2 pass shave. And finished with Pinaud vanilla and Nivea. Great finish!

    I have a BIG ingrown on my neck, I Didnt irritate but I hate those!

    I have 3 #6 brushes in my collection. They are all well broken in. I usually take pictures the night before, so the brushes are not wet or disheveled at that point.

    Thor's Day:

    Prep: Hot shower, Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle Scrub, TSD Jasmine Sambac preshave balm
    Brush: Beeline Boar
    Soap: Stirling Bay Rum
    Razor: Merkur 41c 1904 OC
    Blade: Bic (1)
    Passes: WTG, XTG (1, 2)
    Post: Cold water splash, Bloc Osma alum, Dickinson's WH, Captain's Choice Cat o' Nine Tails AS splash
    Cologne: Gigember Estragone by Dr. Vranjes

    Switched things up with the boar brush today, and bowl-lathered. Results were not appreciably different. 2 passes, something between SAS and DFS results, a little irritation on some of the scar tissue on my throat.

    The Windsor a/s is on my want-list. I had a sample once and loved the scent.
