Nice shave this morning. The DVH is turning out to be a very good soap for me. Williams like, in the fact that I get very close shaves with it. It lathers great with a clean soapy scent and I really have no complaints. I've been looking to find a daily use soap and this might just be it. Have a good one, I'm going to work for a few hours this morning to catch up of some paperwork. "No rest for the wicked", lol.

SUNDAY
Early morning shave

Posting this on my midmorning break: I had a decent 3-pass shave 4:30am shave with this $20 (ebay acquisition)Herskovitz—which has turned into a very nice shaver. My right-hand (solo) technique has improved dramatically over the past several weeks, but I do look forward to the day when I can go back to using my left hand more.

Have a blessed Sunday, everyone!

 

Gerry, the MITA is one of my top-favourite soaps as well. I love the scent and the ease of lathering. I also find the menthol sensation a delight.

A stormy Sunday, but mine started off sublime. Woke up early, anxious to try my haul from Maggards. After a leisurely hot shower, and my once a week head scrub with Head Shed, I was feeling like a great shave was incoming...

Get the rest at That Shave Life!

Sunday

Prep: CeraVe cleanser
Soap: Dapper Dragon unscented
Brush: Mühle hjm black fibre synthetic
Razor: Gillette fat-handled Tech
Blade: Astra SP
After: Cold rinse, CeraVe

Easy, close shave in three passes.

 

Hi Friends,

moments ago i had a very nice shave and want it to share with you.

Prep: hot shower
Soap: Calani "Tulach Ard"
Brush: Mühle 23mm Silvertip Fibre
Razor: Gillette New
Blade: Hema
Aftershave: SavRon "Gentleman Club"
EdT: Acqua di Selva



Very nice. The Tulach Ard smells heavenly. The Mühle made a wonderful,creamy lather of it and the Gillette New was gliding through the stubbles like a hot knife through butter. The SavRon Aftershave burned a bit but after the burn it provided extraordinary skincare.

My Eau de Toilette is the "Acqua di Selva" for today. It´s called "Water of Woods" (i don´t know if i translated it right,because in german it´s named "Wasser des Waldes"), because it smells like white moss,fern,gras and different types of woods. Just like an early walk through the woods in the summer, when the white frost comes up. Heavenly!!!

So,this it it for today. Take care of you and enjoy your time.

Greetings
Thorsten​

Nice leisurely shave this morning. Had three or four shave cream samples each with only a smidgen left so I mixed them all together and emptied the containers.

 

Great new soap!
Today I used Maggard Fougère soap, and it is a winner. The scent is woodsy and manly without overwhelming. The lather is easily made, slick and protective. The aftershave feel is great. This will jump into my rotation immediately. I got an easy three pass shave for comfortably smooth skin. Get some!
