SoS: May 27, 2013 - June 2, 2013

Gratz!!! Very good blade choice for a first time shave

 

PRE: Hot Towel + MR GLO Soap + Am Crew PSO
BRUSH: 28mm "Best"
SOAP: D.R. Harris Lavender
RAZOR: Flare Tip SS
BLADE: Wilkinson Sword
POST: Alum + Gillette Cool Wave (Crystallized) + Seacret ASB



My SOS was answered with a Wilkinson Sword in a PIF'd Flare Tip, imagine that! I pretty much always use superlathers, but today I went for soap only...What can I say, I like to use a lot of product. It wasn't quite as cushioning or slick, but of course the lathering power of D.R. Harris is superb and the end result was a true BBS!

Have a great Sunday!

Very close shave but not so smooth, a few nicks this morning. It's the Indian not the arrow, poor technique and you pay. Have a good one.

For the first time I use this brush and I am more than impressed,incredibly soft bristle! What more could one want from a brush for less than 5$

 

Ladies and Gentleman,Friends,

it´s Sunday again.A week is over,we had time to relax and enjoy our life. So,what do we do on Sunday?! You´re right...shaving. I endet up my shave a few moments ago.
First i had a hot shower to soften my beard.After that relaxing shower,i started my wonderful shave with the following things:

-Face wash with Axe Chilled
-GEM Razor
-Bock Silvertip
-Tabac Shaving soap
-Tabac Aftershave



Now i´m putting the Tabac back in my pipe,listen to some good music and have a good smoke.I need that after a fantastic,super smelling shave.

So,i hope that all of you will have a fine start into the new week.

Greetings
Thorsten

2.6.2013

• Prep: shower, RazoRock glycerine pre-shave soap
• Razor: Mühle R89 / RazoRock Little Bastone
• Blade: Voskhod (2)
• Brush: Frank Shaving Faux Agate
• Soap: Institut Karité (1)
• Post: alum, T.N. Dickinson's Witch hazel
• Aftershave: Musgo Real Classic sample, jojoba oil

First go with the Institut Karité soap and I managed a decent lather and I know I can do even better. I couldn't care less for its scent, but the performance was very good and skin care amazing as you would expect from a shea butter soap.
Lather shot:

After 2 shaves with the Voskhod I can say that they provide a very close shave, but they aren't the most comfortable blade for me. It could be a dud blade, though. I'll try a new one tomorrow.
