SoS: November 28, 2016 - December 4, 2016

SOTD 29-11-16. My shave today.
Essential oils, Crema castle Forbes Lime, 2-band badger brush 24 mm 75th anniversary Vie Long, Proyet setter, Buffalo Thiers Issard 6/8, ATT H1 Atlas with counterweight Seygus, Personna super platinum (2) After shave manantiales La Toja
You know the good performance is this cream, first pass with the Buffalo, seems to Geiger counter when cutting hair, second pass with the ATT, whatcomfortable to take the elongated handle and more weight for my enjoyment with this addition. Closure with manantiales that I appreciate more and more ...

This will be the last shave with TSD Killer Queen Shaving Cream. I will be piffing it soon.

The TSD Killer Queen Shaving Cream face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #133 silvertip badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Fatboy with a Wilkinson Sword Super Sword-Edge blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with T.N. Dickinson's WH and then Aqua Velva Musk After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Ooooo...lather!

 

Purdy pic! I find that the scents seem to "bloom" as they are lathered. Glad you're enjoying it!

SHAVE OF THE DAY


Prep: RazoRock Mister Joe
Razor: Gillette Redtip
Blade: Gillette Black (2nd shave)
Brush: Maggard 24mm synthetic
Soap: Dr. Jon's Krampus
Post: SC Resolution Balm



Had one of the best shaves in my life this evening. The scent of Krampus is amazing and will be staying in the den, it has a strong great cider scent with a touch of anise, fear, and many other notes. Cider being the dominant note, it is a perfect scent for this time of year. This is one of the new Dr. Jon's harder formula which is a big improvement from the previous. Hats off to them for being able to take a good soap and make it even better. some of these scents are works of art that remind me a bit of B&M quality perfuming artistry. Anyways, got a dolphin smooth BBS and was such a smooth shave that it put a instant smile on my face. The Gillette Black worked beautifully in the Redtip. Finished off with Resolution since it is the scent has cranberries which paired nicly with the cider in Krampus. Hope everyone had similar results!

 

PM tub shave:

*Clix EZ Flo with bakelite or plastic base plate & handle

*new Big Ben

*Chiseled Face Pine Tar

3 pass BBS. A bit less aggressive than my usual all-metal Clix/NEW bar handle setup, but the very light weight makes it a heckuva lot of fun to drive. Got the feeling I should pair it with a sharper blade to see what's what.

*Lucky Tiger tonic

 

Thank you.

 

Schick E!

 

For the win!

 

Yup!
