Good dependable lather from the Mike's soap and the big H.I.S. brush. Three comfortable passes and a smooth face.

 

Razor: GEM Junior
Blade: GEM (4)
Brush: Muhle black fiber synthetic

Very comfortable close shave. I used a lighter lather this time with the Dr. Dittmar- I think I like the dense lather better. Still no irritation at all or nicks.

 

Thank you!

Palmolive shave stick
shavette laden with astra Sp
Old spice original

Started using Palmolive stcik again after some time and I love it more than ever.
The lather is thick and creamy and the scent that i didnt rally like before i find to be very pleasing. I also found that i don't need to soak the brush in a bowl but some pumping under the tap and than leaving it in the sink while i shower is sufficient.
I did a wtg+xtg and got a wonderful irritation free shave.
PS.sorry if the pic is a bit large this is my first time posting from my new cell
Also the auto correct clashes a bit with english/croatian so there are quite a few typos

 

Cool photo Brad!

 

Job Interview shave (yeah, it was by phone and four states away but "Look Sharp, Feel Sharp, Be Sharp").

°TV Super Speed
°Gillette Silver Blue
°VDH

BBS. In my limited experience with higher end stainless blades, the Silver Blue reminded me a lot of the Astra. Good blade.

 

Prep: No.7 Face Wash
Razor: Gillette Slim (5)
Blade: Voskhod (2)
Brush: Chopped Made Rite Finest Badger
Lather: Stirling Sharp Dressed Man
Post: Maggard Razors Alum
Aftershave: Barbasol Pacific Rush

This is one of the GREATEST shaves I have ever had. I thought that my skin couldn't handle handle the Sharp Dressed Man, but it is only when it gets on my lips. I wasn't able to shower beforehand and thought that my lack of prep would yield a lousy shave but I was pleasantly surprised. Not BBS, but IT WAS ONE DFS.

 

Looks like I get to "girl" this place up again .....

Y'all stay tuned tomorrow.

 

Lol!

 

It's ok. You still speak terrific English!

 

I stayed away from Palmolive because I did not care for the scent a few years ago. I have a stick going now and really enjoy using it more than I ever have in the past.
