Dorian brush? That's a new one to me. Is that tortoise over olive wood? Lovely Pic Thorsten.

 

Thank you.

You're absolutely right, it is Tortoise. Feels very nice. It's an absolutely Quality build brush. Here the link:

5/8 Spear
Tabula Rasa Dark Lavender
homemade brush/Shavemac pure knot

Excellent shave this morning. I'm thinking about rehandling this knot for some reason. I do have another Shavemac pure knot (bulb style) that should be arriving anytime now.
It's another 25mm knot and I have a good idea what I'm going to try for loft. Have a good one.

Cobra Classic
Feather Pro #3
Doug Korn D-7XLT Shavemac Finest
TSD 2X Iced Barber Shoppe
Alum, Witch Hazel +Menthol, Whipped Shea Butter
TSD 2x Iced Barber Shoppe Aftershave


Today’s shave was a very close, 2 passes plus clean up. The Closeness A and Irritation A+. A TSD Sunday with 2X Iced Barber Shoppe soap and aftershave from the Shave Den Store. The Shavemac finest knot whipped up a mountain of creamy slick wonderfully scented icy lather. This Shavemac has a full-face feel, excellent splay, slight scrub, and only a little backbone. The Ice Blue brush is my second largest brush. It fits my hand like a glove. No feedback from the alum. Shave #3 on this blade was excellent. The Cobra Classic has performed flawlessly in all directions WTG, XGT, and AGT. The handle can be slippery when soapy. Finished with a good splash of the 2X Iced Barber Shoppe. Have a good Sunday all.

I finished off a tube of Gada Cool Mint cream and it helped to give me a great, comfortable, and very cooling shave. The Aqua Velva felt wonderfully refreshing and cooling also!

 

A Rare Sunday Morning Shave for me today. The family was still asleep, so I too advantage and enjoyed a nice early shave. Oh boy, is this Beaver Woodwright soap making it's way of my favorites list. The bowl was overflowing with lather goodness, and I must say that this stuff is exceptional. Thanks again Guy (@ram57) for the sample, a full tub will most likely be following shortly...lol. Enabler!

I hope you gents have a good one.

Semouge SOC
Route 66 A Perfect Gent
A Lohmann #75 4/8 full hollow round end
Pinaud Lime SEC
cleanup; Gillette slim(j2)(7) Astra sp(3)
today's shave was nice. I am becoming a boar guy, they get picked more and more, and never disappoint. the gent smells great and works even better. three passes with the #75 left me with a nice shave, the slim made it a great shave. finished with the "dry" lime. good citrusy match, but I'd rather smell like "gent".
church today, y'all come with me.

our church is having pastor appreciation day. so I have to remember my online pastor. Thank you, Kevin, for all you do.

It was the best. And the fragrance was mild and pleasant. My wife even likes it...which is high praise. Good moisturizing as well. This one is a keeper. I might need to get another bottle to get me through No Buy 2016!

 

My early type Schick E2 hasn't gotten much use since I got some razors that I like even more. Which is a shame since it is a fantastic shaver. So, I shaved with the early type again this morning. Yep, still a fantastic shaver.

Happy shaving everyone - Karl

 

12/03-12/04 - The Wolfman has arrived!!!
A magnificent razor. I got the WR1 head only with standard gap in a brushed finish.
Used a Pol-Silver in it with the handle being an ATT Atlas and it shaved wonderfully. Worth the wait and money. It puts me in mind of a Gillette New SC, but updated and better. Very smooth.

I'm only using DE's on my off days, so it'll be be Thursday and Friday before I use it again. Really looking forward to it.
