SOS: June 2018

You pictures are always well composed, well lit and often filled with fun. Beautiful.

 

Thanks partner. Looking forward to getting some shaves in for the rest of the month with the REX.

 

Excellent setup and pic Mark

 

WEDNESDAY'S SHAVE​

Shower Soap - The Hidden Bee "Fresh Face"

Razor - Stirling Soap's Slant
Blade - BiC Chrome-Platinum *3rd shave
Shave Brush - 22mm "Synthia" Chrome Synthetic Nylon
Chrome Razor/Brush Stand
Pre-shave Oil - Lather & Wood "unscented"
Suds - Country Club for Men "Blackwood"
Stainless Steel Soap Bowl
Aftershave - Country Club for Men "Blackwood"
Post-Shave Balm - Nicci Marie Hyaluronic Acid Anti-Aging Face Serum
Deodorant - Chanel Platinum Egoiste
Fragrance - Chanel Platinum Egoiste EDT

Using the slant two days in a row. Dangerous, I know, but I'm going to risk it. Let's see if it can be used as a daily shaver.

 

Thank you, gentlemen. This pic looks very similar to when I used this last in April. It's the exact same gear, but I added the Mystery Machine. I was kind of bored with it because I just couldn't find the muse, but I'm glad it stood out enough to garner your praises. I use this particular combo often because I still really enjoy T+S's v1 base and I'm also a big fan of smoky frags.

 

Thanks Matt. Just trying to mix it up a bit.

Just too cool my friend. Great pic, color and theming.

Nice setup! The Mystery Machine adds a nice touch to the Shag theme.

 

Not a problem Steve. Always willing to share top notch soaps so others can try them. so many excellent artisans out there it can be tough keeping track of them all from time to time.

Hope you enjoy the Ballenclaugh, HBR is a unique interpretation of rose, the gunpowder makes it a dirty rose without being feminine (as rose is sometimes refered to). The lather quality is pretty decent as well IMO, but soaps can be YMMV that's for sure.

 

Razor: Geo. Wostenholm & Son’s Pipe razor
Brush: Rubberset 400
Soap: The Sudsy Soapery Jack Frost
A/S: Shulton Old Spice
Love everything about the character of this blade.

Enjoy your shave!

What is dangerous about a slant?

 

That is an increable looking razor. Most would rescale it I think. It looks amazing left like that. BULLY!!!

 

A bit of Tabac in my Tuesday shave. Schick 66 and TOST LE. Finished off with the Family Dollar Spice in a Old Spice bottle.

 

Thank you Fuzzy!
I think I’ll keep giving her the periodic neatsfoot oil bath... it works until it doesn’t.

 

Sounds like what we call a plan!

 

A simple yet great SOTN
Gillette Vector - Personna Twin Plus
Cold water brush applied two pass shave WTG, ATG . Final rinse cold . Two splashes of witch hazel followed with a final splash of AV ice sport. I get great shaves from this razor!
