MLB Saturday
I went with MLB today because the scent reminds me of Saturday at the barbershop with my dad. I used a bit more water this time and the lather was even better than usual. Very thick and slick. The Beast buttered up my whiskers, leaving them awake but unsuspecting of their fate. Der Vorschlaghammer ended them humanely and efficiently. MLB aftershave perfectly matches the scent and leaves my skin smooth and moisturized.
Prep: Proraso White
Soap: Maggard's London Barbershop

Switched blades again. The Astra gave me a nice comfortable shave, I'm calling it DFS. Face is happy again! Happy tax season!

 

Celebrating! Market was in triple witching yesterday and cleaned up nicely. And finished my taxes.

 

Yes, very cool brush! Congratulations!

pinaud clubman musk
today's shave was nice. 1805 makes such nice lather and smells very nice. the shovelhead always finds its grove quickly, except up around my nose. takes a bit of maneuvering, but we'll with it. three passes and I'm set. finished with pinaud musk.
hope y'all did as well, or better.

 

Shave of the day

Pre- Hot shower, Bulldog Original face wash, sandalwood bar soap

Soap/cream- Martin de Candre fougere Savon à raser

Brush- Whipped dog 24mm silvertip

Razor- Merkur 37c

Blade- LADAS

Post- Cold water rinse, mentholated Pinaud Clubman original aftershave lotion and Nivea sensitive aftershave balm

MdC nuff said! But I might have shaved a little to close on a place or two, around the chin and 1 side of mustache area.

Ladas doesn't agree with me anymore. I blame the blade! The bevel is inconsistent...

 

I really like that Gillette! Is it a mild razor like a Tech?

 

The NEW SC is more aggressive, but gives the best shave of any of my razors.

 

Razor ikon safety bar on redwood handle
Blade. Voskhod

Saturday
hot shower
Duke 3 Manchurian ---- First use,definately seems more densely packed than the Best Badger version,softer tips way more backbone,no scritch.I only did a quick hand lather yesterday with some Conk Amber and I could tell this was going to be a very special brush.I got a nice lather from what I feel to be a so-so soap,also the brush was pretty much funk free out of the box.Today I used MdC and got a great face lather,sorry I can't post pic's but SWMBO is also She Who Breaks Cameras .In a month or so I think I'll be buying a Nikkon D5300 and keeping it in a safe deposit vault!!! Thank God she leaves my shaving gear and musical instruments alone!
