    Razor: Personna Flexhead Injector
    Blade: Schick Twinjector (8)
    Lather: Proraso Green
    Brush: VDH Badger
    Pre Shave: Hibco Shag Champa
    AS: Aqua Velva Musk/Afta

    After going through several time consuming medical projects, I think I`m ready to join the world again. Details are kinda boring, so on to my Sunday shave: WTG/ATG/XTG. I don`t think it could have gone any smoother. I finally got my Proraso, which arrived a few days ago, so I quit experimenting with cheap soaps,gels and creams. I think I`m in love with Proraso (green). I`m smooth as s--t. 100_3789.JPG

    BILL!!!! Awesome shave, and I want to thank you for posting your personna floating head injector in prior sotd pics. It was your posts that showed me this razor and sparked my interest in a floating head , a few months ago after endless searches i scored a new one still in the package! what a magical razor, especially loaded with a personna 74! good to see your electric razor is stuffed in drawer now. Bill is back!

    Prep: Hot Shower.
    Razor: RazoRock Stainless Steel DLC Hawk
    Blade: Feather Pro
    Lather: Stirling Coconut Lime
    Brush: APShave Co. Cashmere
    Aftershave: Stirling Coconut Lime
    EdT: Caribbean holiday
    Late. Lazy day shave. I tried something different, I went with a drier lather than normally what I do, at least for the first pass. Not a fan.
    Added some much needed water and went at it.
    WOW! I ended up with an automatic BBS, this Stainless Steel DLC Hawk is on point. The Stirling Coconut Lime smells like you're at the beach.
    The APShave Co Cashmere is super soft and had no problem with a hard soap.

    The Schick E was so much better than the Mach 3 today. Smooth comfortable and close. The difference is amazing.

    Razor: Portland Razor Co Chimera
    Strop: Drygulch 45
    Brush Handle: B-400 The Brush by Tom
    Knot: APShaveCo Tuxedo
    Soap: Tcheon Fung Sing Ginestra di Taormina
    Post Care: Thayers Witch Hazel
    Alum
    Osage Rub
    Aftershave: Chatillon Lux Forth and Pine

    Excellent shave this morning. It was my first time using a TFS soap and I was impressed. It lathered so easily, had a great scent and was very slick. I really enjoyed this soap. Three passes with the Chimera and I ended up with a DFS. The Chatillon Lux aftershave complimented the soap and left my face feeling refreshed and hydrated. I shaved 9 hours ago and can still smell the AS. Have a great day folks!

    Today's shave was with a newly acquired, restored, and honed razor. It was in a little rough shape, so I did what I could, and re-blued the tang, as it originally was. It took a fantastically sharp and smooth edge. I had a very noisy, and smooth 2 pass shave, that left me near BBS, with zero touch-ups, or issues. I've never heard or seen this brand razor, it is definitely well built, and a keeper.

    Razor- "Aerial" Aerial Cut. MFG & Co. Marinette Wis.
    Brush- Semogue 1800
    Soap- Stirling Spicy
    Aftershave- Avon Spice

    Very close comfortable shave to start the week.
