SoS: June 15, 2015 - June 21, 2015

So the ATT R2 is a good one?

 

6/19/15 - #knockoutfriday

Knockout Shave Smoky
Omega Mixed Midget
Gillette LC New
Po-Silver Blade (1)
Brut

 

Nope. From a professional soap-maker.
Giving me feedback on the product.

 

Giving him feedback you mean=) why doesn't anyone ask me to review their soap hahaha. Is it good?

 

A good shave with my no-name razor. More details here.

Razor: No-name razor
Blade: Feather
Brush: Rubberset 400-3
Soap: i Coloniali Mango (I can't stop using this soap...)
A/S: Myrsol Plastic Shave followed by some Anherb ASB

​

 

Yes, giving feedback to the soap-maker. Doesn't do any good to give myself feedback. I tend to ignore that guy!
This is the 3rd puck I've tried (two more to go) and each has been a top performer. You can't go wrong with quality -made tallow soaps. Add some shea butter and lanolin and you've got terrific slickness of lather and top post-shave skin conditioning.

 

It sounds like fun. It's cool that the soap maker trusts you.

Is it 5 different formulas or scents?

 

Thanks Guy. They are outstanding brushes, with great weight to them.

 

Happy Birthday Patrick! ​

:wave: Have a great day! :wave:

 

Dr. Selby 3X SC
Satin Tip "The Purist" brush
Schick G4 razor
Personna blade
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Pinaud Clubman A/S

Still not sure about the Satin Tip brush, will work with it this weekend and then try to decide if I like it or not. Right dandy shave to end the work week even tho I'm retired.

 

My best friend loaned me the R2 and M2 to try out for a while. I really like it. In all honesty it shaves very much like my New Deluxe but because the head is thicker the R2 is harder to use above my lip.

 

Fantastic photo. Hope you enjoyed your new Mongoose.

 

All have different scents.

 

Razor: Gillette New SC Red & Black set 1930s
Brush: Fuller Amber Badger 1920s -1940s
Mug: Old Spice 1985 Cobalt Blue
Cream: Cella classica 1899
Blade: Feather (2)
Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Jack Black Balm, Pinaud Clubman AS
Back with the Gillette New SC, I really like both the LC and SC. Loaded a Feather blade, and checked the alignment. The Badger whipped up a thick warm lather in my go to OS Mug. Very close two pass shave with some touchup. More aggressive than the LC so I had to pay close attention. Warm water rinse and pat dry. Some WH and after cleanup some JB Balm. Then some Clubman. Feels like I just left the barbershop. Nice razor, great feedback and I can get into some spots on my neck with only a little buffing. I'm glad I got both the SC and LC. Y'all have a good one!

Happy Birthday, Patrick!

 

SoTD

1953 Super Speed with Voshkod (x3)
Simpsons The Colonel
L'Occitane Cade Cream
Maggard Razors London Barbershop AS Splash

I've decided that I'm not a huge fan of the Cade cream and the Voshkod/SS combo only lasted three shaves because it just wasn't a good combo for me. Four years in and I'm still learning what works best for me.

 

Happy Birthday @PatrickA51 !

 

Welcome to the SOTD. Great photo.

 

Thank you, sir!
