SoS: June 6, 2016 - June 12, 2016

Fantastic pic Martin!

 

Razor: iKon w/ Bamboo Handle
Blade: Gillette GSB
Brush: Tres Amigos, Desert Ironwood Honeycomb w/Envy White
Soap: Route 66 Bourbon Jungle
A/S: Floid Vigoroso

Excellent close comfortable shave this evening. Route 66 Bourbon Jungle is one of my favorite scents and soaps. The Tres Amigo brush is an outstanding performer.

 

Friday's


Dove Men Face Wash
TSD Iced Lime
Jayaruh #77 Synthetic
Bunny V-3
Schick Injector
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Rose Petal WH
Pinaud Clubman

This was my first shave with a TSD Shaving Soap. The Iced Lime Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my new Jayaruh #77 Synthetic brush. It also rinses very clean and has just the right amount of menthal: nice cooling effect. The lime scent is delicious. Two passes and touch ups with the Bunny V-3 razor with a Schick Stainless Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Pinaud Clubman After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

SHAVE OF THE DAY



Prep: Occams crushed lime
Razor: Gillette Black Beauty
Blade: Ladas super stainless
Brush: omega s synthetic
Soap: Wholly Kaw- Lav Sublime Concerto
Post: Stephans Island Lime



2 pass shave today. Went with the tallow WK soap, big fan of the vegan soap, and the tallow version seems to be even better. The lather was shiny and glistened in the light, something I haven't noticed in a long time. The scent is stronger on the lime side, which is a good thing IMO, not a big lavender fan, but it makes the lime scent even stronger. Got a great BBS shave. Hope everyone else had a great shave!

 

Great setup! Ladas in a Black Beauty is a winning combo for me.

 

Great to hear this combo worked well for you as well. I tried these blades a while ago but recently got a few from @Marverel PIF, and they have been working out great so far. Much better than some other Russian blades I have tried.

 

Excellent picture with great products. :happy088.

 

The Ladas and the GSB are the only blades I plan to continue buying now.

Thanks Doug!

 

Cobra/Kai // Neep Dreadnought // Saponificio Varesino​

 

GSB's are pretty hard to beat IMO have you tried Pol-Silver or Perma-Sharp? They are up there with GSB.

 

Guys, there's been a change in my Friday setup - here it is:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Junjie/Astra day 5
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill SS
Lucky Tiger AS Cream
Stirling Lemon Chill WH
JHL Cologne

I just couldn't resist my Glacial Lemon Chill soap because I didn't have enough of a freeze for my Thursday shave, and you guys know how I feel about menthol!

Once again, a great weekend to one and all!

 

I loved Polsilver's till I tried Ladas and GSB's. Haven't tried Perma's yet

 

Yea I would put the GSB just above the Pol-silvers as well. It seems like the premium blades last longer (more shaves).

 

A stellar shave this morning
Posted a shave report over here

Lovely photo and the WRH7 compliments that head much better, in my opinion.

 

Wonderful brush (and of course picture) my friend - I guess great minds think alike

Thursday Shower/Shave

Shower- Noxzema facial cleaner, Dr. Bronner's All-One Hemp Citrus bar soap
Brush- RazoRock Tri-Colored
Razor- The Bunny
Blade- Schick (1)
Soap- Route 66 Barbershop Hop
Post Care- Thayers Witch Hazel with grapefruit EO and M-Bomb
Nivea Sensitive AS balm

Wow! What a fantastic shave! This was my first ever injector shave and the Bunny left me dolphin smooth. I used the Mild comb and three passes and I don't know if I've ever had a closer shave. The Route 66 as usual offered up a wonderful, slick and protective lather and The Bunny mowed through two days of growth like it was nothing. The only bad part was one small weeper on the corner of my mouth but if I have a problem, it usually shows up there. I love this razor and I'm looking forward to more shaves with it. Have a great day folks!
