A very nice relaxing shave this morning. The Twisted Tweed provided a great rich slick lather. I enjoy the scent and find it dissipates about the time the shave is complete which I find nice. Sticking with my normal 3 pass shave with minimal touch ups ended in a near perfect BBS. Using this razor consistently for the month has really helped me us it to its full potential. I finished off the shave with a splash of Floid Blue and now I am ready for a relaxing day of college football. I hope everyone has a great Saturday.

 

This shave was really close, comfortable and enjoyable. The Tibet Forest Fresh cream has crazy-rich lather and a good menthol effect - in fact, it's more cooling than the Hamol cream I used yesterday. The Max Refreshing aftershave smells a lot like Polo Original and it gives wonderful skincare with lots of menthol!

 

Hello TSD Today's shave:



- CRSW "Spiced Amber"
- Jayaruh #129
- Portland Razor Co. "The Sprite"
- Alverde Men Hydrogel

This was a really good shave! The guy who put the final honing touches on the razor told me the edge would improve over the course of the next few shaves ... and I guess it does. Very close shave, almost BBS - and smoother than the last time.

And the Jayaruh Brush with the Game Changer knot is wonderful. I enjoy using it

 

That is a nice looking razor. I am glad you got a good edge on it now. Enjoy.

 

Great photo. Simple but a pleasure to look at, just like that brush and razor.

 

Thank you for the kind words.

Thanks, Pierce! Definitely a solid performer. Have a great day buddy.

 

A great shave with my Kropp. The prior shave from the Russkie Paketa was so close that two days of growth wasn't a whole lot and the Kropp made short work of it.

Nov. 26/2016 Saturday

Razor: Gillette Injector J1
Blade: Gillette Trac II Twin Jector (3)
Lather: Hibco Nag Champa
Pre Shave: Hibco Nag Champa
As: Aqua Velva Musk/ Hibco Nag Champa Butter Balm
Newspaper Date: Feb. 3,1944


Slightly more difficult than yesterday. Either the blades are getting dull or I didn`t build a better lather, there nothing wrong with Hibco soap, I just have more difficulty with soap in a tin, gotta work on that. Two pass shave, WTG and ATG/XTG. Both passes were about the same, a little more feedback on an ATG stroke, but all in all, I can`t complain with near Dolphin shave. May all members have the same. God Bless.

Saturday Morning....



-Colonial General
-Manhandled Woods Ubersoft II
-Reef Point Espresso Soap
-Stirling Glastonbury AS

I tend to be an evening shaver because my job doesn't require me to be clean shaven, and I like to take my time and enjoy my shave. It is a real treat when I have time in the morning to relax with a shave and a cup of coffee, and Reef Point Espresso is probably the soap I most often choose for it. It's an awesome scent just strong enough to fill the bathroom, and always gives a stable, slick and shiny lather. I couldn't be smoother.

Have a great Saturday!
