Large Horsehair Barbershop
Micro-Touch/Dorco day 2
Proraso Green Crema Pre/Dopo Barba
Proraso Green SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Proraso Green AS

I'm starting to really enjoy my Micro-Touch razor now - today it gave me a great shave. The Dorco blade actually did the job the way I like it and I ended up BBS with not too much effort. The Proraso Green treatment paid off very well for me - the pre/aftershave cream felt very cool and soothing on my face, the soap lathered like a champ while providing its own famous cooling effect, and the aftershave hit me with another icy blast. Once again, for those of you with sensitive skin, let me recommend the Gold Bond moisturizer because it has an awesome menthol effect and a LOT of protection against dryness or irritation.

today's shave was nice. no hurry, no worry. I love the roses, feel like a cowboy in town from a long dusty trail. New to me razor, short comb, nice mild but efficient, definitely a keeper. three passes for the win. finished with legitima Rosa.
hope y'all did as well, or better.

 

Calm and cool
I reached for B&M Lavanille today because I wanted some calming lavender after waking up with a cramped calf. The lather monster easily whipped up and spread the scent around the room. My New LC made easy work of my stubble in two passes plus touch ups. I finished with KFF for a pleasant chill that also cares for my skin.

SOD 15 Nov 2014

Pre- Corn Huskers
Soap – L'Occitane Cade
Brush – Vulfix 660S Medium
Razor – Merkur 34C
Blade - Feather (3rd and final usage)
AS – Gillette Cool Wave

Cade is a great soap, very easy to lather, thick, creamy and slick. Would have to put as my current #1 soap.
Feathers are very good blades, no real difference than my Astra SP's. First run through not worth the extra cost at least for me.

*Opinions expressed are soley those of DBersh, and as always YMMV.

Really nice setup celestino. I like the detail on that zenshave brush, and don't get to see those very often. Where did you get that lather bowl? It has a nice shape, and looks like it wouldn't clank!
