Excellent shave this morning. I'm off to a convention for the rest of the week. I'll be taking the S brush, Soap Commander and my Wacker inox. First impression of the S brush is very favorable. Have a good one. BTW, Soap Commander is new to me and I look forward to trying it.

 

Another awesome shave this morning - my Super Speed/Derby combination never fails me. The Palmolive Menthol cream delivered very generously on the lather, chill, and skincare. The Lucky Tiger a/s cream increased the menthol effect nicely, and the Proraso Green aftershave rounded everything out the way I like it!

Tabacstag!
Another great shave with Tabac and the Futur. I feel like I can still do a better job on my neck, however. I thought I could just do an extra WTG and skip the ATG there, but that did not work well. No weepers, but a touch of burn that was very short lived. CRSW Jd’O balm felt good going on, and I added a little Spicebomb from a small decant to round it out.

Prep: WSP Matterhorn PSO
Soap: Tabac!
Brush: HIS Lather Monster
Razor: Der Futur
Blade: Voskhod (2)
AS: Cold River Soap Works Jardin d’Orange balm
Frag: Spicebomb

 

The (S5) is the setting five for blade gap. Not at home right now but believe mine is a F3 date code which I believe is 1960 third quarter.

Mastro Livi Grifetto 60, De Vergulde Hand and Floïd​

Yet another good shave. I already mentioned how good Mastro Livi Grifetto 60 is - as well as regular Grifetto - but whenever I use Floïd it always adds an extra luxury touch to my shave. This time I used the Dutch De Vergulde Hand, a soap I like although it sometimes seems to dry the skin too much. A generous pass of alum block, then argan oil, and the skin is ready to receive the pleasing and refreshing touch of Floïd The Genuine aftershave. And I am ready to start a new day.​

• Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil
• Soap: De Vergulde Hand
• Brush: Omega Bristle 10275
• Bowl: Chinese Bowl
• Strop: Mastro Livi Travel Loom Strop and Hand Palm
• Razor: Mastro Livi Grifetto 60, 6/8 Full Hollow, Round Point
• Post-Shave: Alum Block
• Post-Shave: Argan Oil
• After Shave: Floïd The Genuine

First and foremost a big thank you to Clint @theFAT98 for the new soaps, blades, and Gillette Old Type. And a big thank you to Tom @twhite for the very cool razor rest! Thank you for your generosity.
Fantastic shave! Sherlock is a fantastic performer, as far as the scent goes, it's very complexed. Here's what I picked up, tobacco, dirt, leather, rose, honey, I love the scent of this soap! The Gillette Old Type, perfect balance, very easy to handle, so easy I shaved my goatee and kept the stash. Fantastic 3 pass irritation free shave.
