Good morning friends. Fantastic three pass shave today with the Schick N1 fitted with a twin blade. Marvelous lather from the Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements 1K shave soap. I am smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends. ☺️

 

GartBnx.....

 

Good picture Roby.

 

Nice photo of fine gear.

 

Thanks Doug. Have a great day buddy

 

My Friday SOTD:

L'Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Astra day 5
Stirling Gin+Tonic on the Rocks SS
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill ASB
Alt Innsbruck AS Splash

This shave was a real big enjoyment for me - this Gin+Tonic OTR smells so nice. The scent is a blend of lemon, lime, and juniper berries. It lathers crazy-rich and it has a pretty strong menthol punch along with the wonderful, soothing skincare which is so typically Stirling. I love that icy-cold feeling of the Lemon Chill balm, and the Alt Innsbruck gives plenty of chill with a lovely, classy scent.

Have a great weekend!

Stirling Ozark Mountain today. 20 seconds to load the Mozingo/WSP Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Vintage Wilkinson Sword “Light Brigade” NEW Chromium still in the Gillette Fat Boy. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Stirling Executive Man aftershave.

Proraso Pre Shave
Colgate Shaving Mug Soap
Semogue SOC
TomsNoName SE Razor
GEM CS SE
CWR
Thayers Peach WH
Florida Water

This was my first shave with the TNNSER, so I made a video to document it. It was an excellent shave. This razor by Tom White is a real winner.

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Colgate Shaving Mug Soap face-lathered well with the Semogue SOC brush. I did two passes with TomsNoName SE Razor with a GEM CS SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Peach WH and then Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

22 June 2018

Day 6 in the books. I think I could live with this set-up permanently........but where's the fun in that?

To my uneducated nose, the scents of the La Toja cream and the Pinaud Special Reserve splash are very similar. Definitely complimentary. Anyone else use this combo and notice that?

 

REX Ambassador(3,2.5)& Gillette 7 O’Clock SP #3
Yaqi 30mm Tuxedo
B&M Le Grand Chypre
Humphreys Alcoholado Maravilla
Nivea Sensitive A/S lotion
CD Sauvage balm
CD Sauvage edt

Another great shave with the REX. Performed brilliantly as this is graduation no.#2 this week as my oldest daugther graduates from High School. Pulled out all the stops today and the REX plus todays components nailed it. Full of emotions today and they are slowly building of happiness, jubilation and some sadness. It’s going to be a good day, though I can feel the tears will be running shortly....
Great day and shaves to all....
