Thursday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
L'OCCITANE Cade Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #105
Henckels Rapide
Henckels Wedge
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Aqua Velva Ice Blue

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The L'OCCITANE Cade Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #105 two-band badger brush. I did two passes with the Henckels Rapide Razor using a Henckels Wedge blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Had to get my straight on. I sure did. A late night most gratifying 2 pass shave that was pure, unadulterated shaving bliss. Have a great evening and shaves Gents.... ​

 

When I did my week with the Bunny in February, I did one shave with no comb. If you ride the cap and do a light touch, it is much like a straight shave. I did raise some some blood under my nose, but otherwise I ended up with a BBS.

Brut Dominant After Shave
Have fun!

 

I like Veg very much, Lilac in general. Would that scent possibly appeal?

 

Depends on if you like the scent of fig fruit. I've found fig is a bit sweet smelling and because of that it can be hit and miss with some people. In general I think it's a good scent. Looking forward to this shave tomorrow.

 

The Bunny has bitten me, too. Not during a shave, but while changing combs. Don't think I've ever been cut on my finger by another razor.
No fear, but lots of respect!

 

I`m getting better with each day, I was pretty sick for a long time, 2 or3 illnesses 1 right after the other, almost 2 mos. I think. Back on my treadmill and increasing the time and effort. I think the prayers from all the TSD members helped the most, thanks guys And gals. God bless, Bill

 

I do like the traditional resins, but I do enjoy the three more-colorful Paladins in my den (Harlequin, Krakatoa,Malachite). The Harlequin in particular is really a looker.
The Sherlock feels great in hand.
-Cheers

I'll jump in and catch up in a bit. Things are upside down here today. Dead laptop so I'm working with my tablet. It's a learning curve. So parden my lack of the usual shave intro.

I finished my 30 Day Rule tonight with the OCMM. Had a great month and learned an awesome SE razor. While it may never be truly tamed it is still one fine razor. With carbon blades it's a true Gem. Pun intended. Soap was Fatbac with a Stirling synthetic. Great way to end a Rule.

My Madness this month is madder than I had planned. More on that later.

Tablet picture sucks. Sorry about that.
