She does. I made a mistake. Jeff’s is used as the name for the Lavender soap she makes that I often use. She named it after a good customer who requested the blend.

 

very cool razor, nice set up and pic..

Playing the waiting game one a CG head, but the Karve is so worthy, i generally prefer covered tabs and the Karve’s exposed go unnoticed in the shave.

Wow! What a shave after a couple days of growth... I've been too busy so hadn't shaved in a couple days. A very comfortable shave with the Razorock GC 84 baseplate and the second shave with the Super Iridium. I'm still enjoying the subtle sandalwood scent from the Proraso Red. My wife is going to be happy when she gets home from work. Enjoy your evening gents.

Y'know, come to think of it, I do recall her crediting the lavender for "Jeff" .

 

That straight looks super clean and matches great with the brush.

MAYhem!!! 2019

May 5

Razor - Wunderbar Slant
Blade - (1)
Soap - Stirling Bay Rum
Brush - Stirling Two Band Synthetic
Post - Alum

I'm happy to say I survived another Saturday on the mean streets and got to sleep in this morning (if you count it sleeping in when you get to bed after 3am) and enjoyed a good day with my wife. The only thing it needs to be perfect is a great shave. So, I grabbed the Wunderbar Slant because hey, a slant and MAYhem seel to work together, and I also grabbed a Voskhod to make sure it was a smooth, sharp blade. Stirling for the brush and the Bay Rum soap for a luxurious lather that smells just awesome, and off we go.

Two passes and some minor touch up was all that was required to bring the baby home. Yeah, I know slants are gimmicky, but this one seems to work quite well. For my touch up I actually add a bit of "flash" to the process. I do a Gillette Slide on my neck in the opposite direction the blade slants. Kind of like slanting the slant to creat an "X" cut with only one stroke. Does it really work? All I can say is I am ssssssmmmmmmmmooooooooottttttttttthhhhhhhhhhh. And not just with the ladies.

Monday awaits those of you in the 9-5 crowd. Make it a great one and have a great week!
