    Dove Men Face Wash
    TOBS Lavender
    Jayaruh #70 Silvertip
    Bunny V-3
    Schick Injector
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Rose Petal WH
    Aqua Velva Ice Blue

    This will be the 137th documented shave with the TOBS Lavender. Going to use it until it is gone...

    The Taylor of Old Bond Street Lavender Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #70 silvertip badger brush. One pass and touch ups with the Bunny V-3 razor with a Schick Stainless Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Aqua Velva Ice Blue After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Still on my Nordic Beauty focus. Best shave yet with it. I refreshed my blades for the first time on lapping film as well. The first pass was underwhelming as usual but passes two and three were smooth and enjoyable with a face-rubbing goodness result. :happy036:

    SUNDAY
    Evening Shave for Tomorrow
    My first shave with this newly-honed, vintage Japanese western-style EIKO 'Glory' razor. L'Occitane 'Cade' lather and Route 66 finish. Wonderfully-smooth three-pass shave.
    BBS quality!
    Have a blessed Sunday, all!

    Not the best shave I've had with the I type. Neck is very irritated. May need to step back from it for a bit and then return to it later to work on technique with it.

    Jolly Good June!

    June 4

    Razor - CJB Greager
    Blade - [​IMG] (5)
    Soap - Proraso Green Tub
    Brush - BoS Omega 10066
    Post - Cold rinse, Alum, The Veg

    Day four on the Greager and I'm feeling confident. It was a bit of an early start so I could get a few things caught up at work due to my internet being down for most of the past three days. With a big Saturday on tap I needed to clear the desk. Hurried a bit and didn't get quite the finish I've been getting. It's been DFS to near BBS until today but I'd say today was a barely DFS. Just didn't take time working a few areas, but tomorrow I should be back on track. The best news was that, even though I rushed, I didn't draw blood. I'd like to take credit for that by saying my technique on the pain stick is impeccable. It's probably due as much to the nature of the Dorco AC blade. Smooth and not overly sharp. Great results, less risk it seems. I may switch blades with the Feather SS when I go to it and see if I'm as confident and happy as I am when I go back to the Feather Pro.

    Good news for all of you who are helping rid the world of Sharp Star blades. Mine arrived today so the ship time was 15 days from order to delivery. Didn't send registered so it just showed up in my mailbox. And...there was an extra gift included. A tuck of Ladas. I like this guy. Will keep in in the Cartel for sure. Hope your Saturday was great and the rest of the weekend even better. Seems a bit slow around here so I'm assuming everyone is out having a great time!
