SoS: October 9, 2017 - October 15, 2017

So sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you today.

 

DFS today. Couldn't get my chin perfect in 2 passes and gave up. Don't want the irritation.

Think I missed the sweet spot with my Macca Root lather. Just a little too much water. Doesn't look bad but it didn't feel as slick as it can.

Oh la la, my eyes are tearing, my nose is running but I feel GREAT after this freezing-cold work-of-art of a shave. The Glacial Spearmint soap, balm, and Arctique aftershave all worked their menthol magic for me and did the job. BBS in three glorious passes!

A great day to all!

A wonderful shave on a brisk and overcast morning. The Tabac combo worked just as expected, which was awesome. The Prada Luna Rossa is the one scent that works beautifully together with Tabac. A clean, masculine and soap like scent with a bit of lavender and a subtle sweetness that is just amazing. And longevity? Fuhget about it! Out of this world staying power. The new El Jefe II is just a great whisker reducing tool. Have a great day and shaves Gents...... ​

Saturday SoTD

Mongoose razor
New Forest tubby brush
B&M Leviathan shaving soap
B&M Leviathan aftershave splash

 

What state did u find the Pacific? Here in Massachusetts I hit up a Dollar Tree in Worcester and my home town of Hudson and no Pacific Razor, just the usual disposables... Is the razor in a different isle?

 

It was in the same aisle where the disposables and other shaving supplies were.

 

Saturday

Prep: Warm Shower-Stirling Bath Soap-Scots Pine Sheep
Soap: Maggard London Barbershop (last shave for his jar)
Razor: Gillette NEW Short Comb
Blade: Vintage Schick Plus Platinum (Shave #15)
Brush: Honey Farm Designs/TGN Premium Silvertip-24mmx50mm
Aftershave: Fine American Blend (Original Blend)

WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)

Maggard London Barbershop today. 20 seconds to load the Honey Farm/TGN Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Vintage Schick Plus Platinum still in the Gillette NEW SC. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with Fine American Blend (Original Blend) aftershave.

Ahhh, most be a regional Dollar Tree item. Oh well, I got 50 other razors. Always fun getting a DE for a buck..

 

Prep - Hot towel
Pre shave - Prep
Razor – Merkur 34C HD
Blade – Gillette 7 O'clock S/P Black
Brush - ‘Il Cinghiale’ (Zenith EURO/RX)
Soap – Lebelle Soaps: Tobac Vanille
Post - Cold water rinse / Wholly Kaw: King of Oud Aftershave Toner

At first, I thought The Black Ninja felt a little tuggy with the Merkur 34C HD, but it soon settled down, and with Tobac Vanille laying down the foundation, produced a BBS, irritation free shave... Superb shave.
