Weber DLC razor
Astra SP blade
Creamo/Vie-Long Horse Hair brush
Fume SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Clubman Reserve Brandy Spice A/S

As I stated yesterday, the Creamo brush seems to be getting a bit softer but it's still feels like an unbroken in boar to me. Will use it till the end of the week to see how it goes. Good shave tho. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

Tabac Tuesday's Shave


Cold Water Wash
Tabac
Jayaruh #316
Segal OC
Segal
CWR
Tabac AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Tabac Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #316 brush. I did two passes with the Segal OC Safety Razor with a Segal DE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Thank you, Doug!

Interesting visit back to the OC’s in OCtober. These were some of the first razors I ever purchased, as they just looked vintage and “old timey”. Great shave from the Old Type this morning, but so far I gotta give the nod to the Tuckaway from yesterday. Yes, it’s small, but it’s such a fun razor and looks like the Great Gatsby would have used it. Maybe I need to go find a full size Bostonian before the month is out...
In other news, this SOC boar/badger is breaking in to be one helluva brush, holding its own with some of my favorites that cost a lot more. Thanks for the enabling @clint64and @Douglas Carey!

 

Outstanding Shave
Three days growth was no match for my Rockwell 6s. The Lutin Lightning easily whipped up amazing lather from Cool and an unreasonable amount of lather. My face feels and smells great.

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: Rockwell 6s R6
Blade: Personna Platinum
Brush: Lutin Lightning
Lather: B-M Reserve Cool
Aftershave: B-M Reserve Cool

Stirling Ozark Mountain today. 20 seconds to load the Mozingo/WSP Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Vintage Gillette Platinum-Plus still in the Gillette Slim. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Stirling Executive Man aftershave.

Good photo Jim.

 

I'm breaking in the same brush this month Randy. Good picture.

 

Thanks, Doug!

 

MENTHOL MONDAY NIGHT -> My Menthol Monday with my latest BATON HANDLE! this is STAR 1912 with a Hunter Green Handle! have not seen one before - I also have black and Maroon. I am looking hard for a blue handle baton? Anybody wanna give me one
Since this is Hunter Green the pictures are dark - so it may look black but it is not.



The SEMOGUE 2000 !

 

Tuesday's fun:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Junjie TTO/Derby day 3
Bundubeard Rooibos SS
Prep ASB
Booster Mosswood AS Splash
Aramis EdT

Smooth as a baby's little tukhis after three fun-filled passes. I swear, this Rooibos soap is definitely one of the best that I ever used. I love the herbal, sweet scent, it lathers like there's no tomorrow, and it's so skin-friendly. The Prep and the Booster Mosswood were a perfect finish to such a great shave!
