Fat Tuesday

 

5/8 Spear
Vintage Williams
30mm ST brush

Great shave again this morning. I'll give the razors some credit and the vintage Williams some. I think I'm down to my last 3 pucks, when it's gone it's gone but it will be missed by me. Have a good one.

CAPTAIN'S LOG SHAVEDATE 28112012

Preshave> virgin Olive
Soap> Canus Goat's milk.. Lavender
Brush> Purdy paint brush 2"
Razor> Edwin bal89
Blade> Shark Chrome
AS> water rinse

Shavefleet command has graciously supplied some new equipment which all seems to be working out ok so far. The PB is breaking in on schedule and am getting more used to it..might even become a favorite, who knows. The Goat soap's not bad..makes a good creamy thick lather with ample glide. Got a hold of an EJ..again lol.. and am putting it through trial runs. Seems to have a very smooth feel armed with a Shark Chrome. There was some minimal damage on the underside of the hull..razor bump.. but overall a decent go. That's it for now..captain out..shave long and prosper..

 

Prep - Hot Towel, Olivia's Bay Rum Soap
Razor - Weber ARC
Blade - Astra S/P
Brush - New Forest Tubby 1 Finest
Soap - Olivia's Natural Shaving Cream
Cold Rinse/ Witch Hazel/ Pacific Shaving ASB

hmm, Olivia's Natural Shaving Cream.. an odd one...couldn't seem to get the lather right, but still had an irritation free shave, and skin feels great.... definitely one to work on, as it has a lot going for it!!

I have hardly been on here at all lately. Very busy and just not taking any time to drop by. Had a good shave with the Williams today!

 

Sounds nice...Seeing as how I have grown to like the menthol creams a bit more in the rotation, I will have to see if I can pick that one up.

 

That cream and aftershave are 2 of my top favorites - I am so happy you enjoy them!

 

Indeed!

A super smooth two pass shave, the weekend cannot come quick enough for me as I'm having my Christmas present early I'm picking up my Bedlington Terrier pup I've already named him Oscar.

​

​

 

Last shave with the OSS that has been on deck for the past week... Have to say, my shaves with this 'new to me' razor have been amazing. There was zero learning curve and I am very comfortable swinging this razor around with a lower-than-normal level of concentration. Of all the handles I've tried on it, the iKon Deluxe Classic long handle balanced the best.

Prep: Hot Shower
Razor: iKon OSS
Blade: Personna Red
Soap: MWF
Brush: Semogue OC, Cherry
Post: Alum, ice water rinse, Kiehl's AS balm

Jamie, love them terriers. We have a Wire Haired Fox Terrier named....Oscar. They all seem to be characters and tend to make life a little more interesting.
