    March Madness/Shavettes

    March 10

    Razor - Kai Captain Artist Club
    Blade - [​IMG]
    Soap - Oleo Soapworks El Caballero
    Brush - 30DC Meet UP w/ SynBad Bulb
    Post - Alum

    Busy election Tuesday in Missouri and all's well. Another shave with the Kai Captain and Feather Pro and this one nearly ended in a bloody mess. My shave den is the half bath downstairs in the townhouse we are in. So, a fairly narrow space but definitely adequate. However, as I was switching to the left side and lining up to start the WTG pass on that side, I leaned a bit to the left as I turned my head and my elbow hit the door frame. That jammed the Kai into my left cheek. I sincerely believed I had probably cut myself pretty badly as the entire length of the blade pressed in and down. However, I still hadn't set the angle so, by the grace of the shaving gods, only the flat of the blade holder and blade actually got pushed into my cheek. There was one small scrape where the blade just missed digging in. Other than that, all was well. So, I adjusted my stance a bit to the right, assured my wife that I was, indeed, fine (she had heard the loud bump followed by a few loud "words") and went on with the shave. No more mishaps and the finish was a very nice near-BBS after three full passes. The El Caballero and Meet Up brush provided great lather which may have also helped that razor slide and skip instead of digging in.

    Happy to be blood free! Have a great night and a better Wednesday!!

    Outstanding shave today with Krampert's. The soap whipped up very easily and the razor took down two days growth smoothly and comfortably. The splash did not sting much at all and left my skin feeling great.

    Williams Wednesday's Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Williams Mug Soap
    Semogue Owners Club
    Schick L1
    Schick Proline
    CWR
    PSC Caffeinated After Shave Balm

    The Williams Mug Soap face-lathered well with the Semogue Owners Club brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick L1 with a Schick Proline blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with PSC Caffeinated After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Wednesday morning:

    Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Shark day 5
    Stirling Gin & Tonic on the Rocks SS
    Proraso White ASB
    Alt Innsbruck AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel EdP

    Here’s another soap which I’ve been neglecting and after about a year of it sitting around I decided to give it a spin. This Gin & Tonic on the Rocks has such a beautiful scent of lemon and lime, it gives absolutely brilliant lather so easily which is so rich as well as super slick, and a good menthol sensation along with a fantastic postshave feeling that’s so soothing and comfortable. I call the Proraso White cream I used a balm but it could also be used as a pre shave product - in any case it’s very moisturizing, cooling, and soothing. I LOVE the scent of the Alt Innsbruck aftershave and the menthol punch it gives. This shave couldn’t be any better - three passes did the job for me![​IMG]
