SoS - Saturday, September 20, 2014

Cool shower
Prep: Homemade PSO
Brush: Vulfix 374 super badger
Cream: Speick
Razor: Merkur 38C
Blade: Derby (2)
Post: Nivea Men Sensitive PSB
Aftershave: Speick ASL

The Vulfix 374 was my first brush, and I realized today that I have been taking it for granted recently and passing it up in favor of brushes with much larger knots. It is a wonderful brush and I'd forgotten just how much control and flow through is gained with a smaller knot (I believe the 374's knot is 20 or 21mm). It builds lather much quicker than my larger brushes and feels great on my face. The overall performance of the Vulfix is only rivaled by the Duke 3 in my humble arsenal. I will have to remember to give it more attention going forward. Finally, the Speick products never fail to provide a quality shave.

What soap are you using tomorrow?

My first anniversary shave
Prep: Stirling Lemon Chill
Razor: Gillette Sheraton
Blade: Perma-Sharp
Brush: Gary's Finest Badger
Lather: Stirling Lemon Chill
Post: Maggard Razors Alum
Aftershave: Fine Platinum

 

Been shaving a year now, huh?

 

Happy Anniversary!

 

Yeah, sure, well go with that

 

You know what this means ...

​

 

Thank you Kerry!

 

Haha thank you Gary. I really hope she doesn't start getting me ties I have enough. Two.

 

That can always be arranged my man!!! Heh, heh, heh!!!

 

Honestly, ties are expensive. $45 dollars for an acceptable looking tie. I couldn't complain if she did, but I would tell her what shaving soaps i want.

 

Some others are considering soap procuring strategies as well ...

SUNDAY
Evening Shave for Tomorrow
Early start per usual on Sunday means a nice, peaceful Saturday eve shave.
Broke out the C-Mon shaver with a bit of the MdC = a great shave!
It was so nice I decided to do four passes because…well, because I could!
Sometimes shaving is so enjoyable you hate to have it end…

Have a blessed Sunday, everyone!

Cold Water Shave
Being as the WTG-XTG-ATG method worked each day that I shaved, I will use it again .

Friday and Saturday were non-shave days. Tomorrow is kind of a special day. I think I will take SWMbO out to Breakfast. There is a Mexican Restaurant about a block away that we both can walk to. (the walk will do us both good)
