Another DFS from the Tech/Feather...I like using the La Toja stick as it gives me a chance to face lather. It
leaves my skin feeling good as well as providing great lubrication for the shave. The Spanish Leather
seems right to finish the shave.

Monday Shave

Monday, November 9, 2009

Razor: EJ Chatsworth
Blade: Astra Superior Platinum
Brush: Vulfix 2006 Pure Badger
Soap: Cyril Salter
A/S: Dickinson’s Witch Hazel/Speick Splash

I quickly and easily worked up plenty of lather this morning, keeping it warm in my lathering cup. I love the fragrance of the Salter soap. The Chatsworth mowed down the stubble smoothly and 3 passes plus touchup gave a very comfortable, irritation-free, BBS shave.

The WH/Speick combo produced an extremely fine and relaxing finish.

 

Monday, November 9, 2009

Razor: Parker 11R
Blade: Iridium Super
Brush: Shavemac 22369 Long-Handled Super
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Cream: Taylor Avocado
A/S: Royall Bay Rhum


I had been neglecting creams lately but now that I have a cool cream brush they are back in the mix. The Shavemac 22369 and Taylor Avocado combination was excellent although bowl lathering was a definite change of pace and I felt rusty. I enjoyed an outstanding shave but I am coming to the conclusion that the Parker 11R may be a bit mild for my tastes. Although I eventually achieved a BBS shave, it required more touch-up than usual. The Royall Bay Rhum was a very refreshing finish (must be the touch of menthol).
