Easter Sunday shave.



A grown up shave cream to go with my tiny shave gear.

Razor - Gillette Travel Tech
Blade - Gillette Silver Blue
Brush - Simpsons Wee Scot
Pre shave - Proraso green
Lather - I Coloniali shaving cream
Aftershave - Proraso White

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

 

A little fuzzy, I wanted to share the effects after 3 pints. A new brewery opened up just around the corner from work.

Great beer, Great drunken shave.

 

Thank you Rob, and Happy Easter

 

Well I'm not really a Rose scent fan but yes this is very good. A light Rose scent, creamy lather like you would get from BWW, and overall perfromance is what keeps this one in my den. They say Dusy has very similiar ingredients witha couple of swapouts with performance being identical. Maybe somone on here who has used both can provide side by side comparisons.

 

Excellent Setup this wonderful Sunday. First time hearing of this group and the sound and both very good. Thanks for sharing.

Happy Easter!!!

Decided to switch it up today and here is what I used.

SOTD

Pre Shave- 3 cups of black coffee followed by a cool shower


Muhle R41/Astra SP(2)
JR #23 Silvertip Brush
Soap Commander Courage Shaving Soap
Maggard Alum Block
Soap Commander Courage Aftershave Balm


Decided to switch it up today from my usual face freezing bombardment and go with Soap Commander today. Loving the scent on the soap and the lather and protection was top notch as well. 2 passes with the R41 (XTG/ATG) and I am pre teen smooth. Alum was silent everywhere except one little spot on the cheek where I must of reopened a nick from 4 days ago. Pea sized amount of balm and realized I took to much. This stuff goes a long way so I rubbed the remaining amount into my forearms. Nice little menthol kick from the balm as well which I enjoyed. Hope everyone had a great shave today and is having a great Easter. God Bless!

 

They have an incredible Christmas album also

 

Sunday:
hot shower w/Hugo Naturals Mexican Lime & Bergamot bar soap
Maggard Lime PSO
Parker 80R 2+ passes
Gillette Super Thin Platinum (2)
Taconic Tequila Lime cream in a warm bowl
Century boar
Thayers unscented w/aloe
Old Spice Lime A/S
C&E Neapolitan Bergamot edc

First time trying Taconic shave cream. I've used their pre-shave oil and enjoyed it so I picked up a sample of their shave cream. I'll leave the jury out for a couple more shaves but my first impression is that the lather is somewhat on the thin side. The first dozen swirls seemed to be making a nice smooth cake frosting but once I added enough water to produce lather it thinned out more than I prefer.

 

Fabulous photo as always Kevin!

 

SOTD March 27, 2016

Prep: Warm shower
Blade: Personna med prep
Razor: Maggard MR1 with V2 open comb
Brush: Trader Joe's synthetic
Lather: TSD unscented shave stick
Post: Witch hazel splash enhanced with Fine Platinum, Nivea sensitive balm
WTG, XTG, touch-up



Happy Easter to everyone! Interesting shave this morning. I actually ended up with a really nice, close shave. No nicks, weepers, or irritation. The interesting part was in the lather. My soap stick from TSD doesn't seem to raise any longer. The soap is down in the stick and won't lift up with the screw knob. I am traveling and don't have an extra container or I probably would have just scooped it out and pressed it into a new vessel. I'm going to post a picture of it in the Shave Soap forum.

In any event I was able to run the brush around and over it fast enough to get some decent lather, albeit a hair thinner than normal. But then I went ahead and shaved and got a nice shave, so go figure.

I hope everyone has a great day today!

 

Way to improvise Perry! Safe travels and Happy Easter.

 

Ouch.
