Soap: Le Père Lucien
Razor: Gem MMOC

Every time I use this razor I wonder how it got its aggressive reputation.
It's efficient and assertive but if aggression is your bag, I'd suggest the 1924 or Streamline, I found both harder to learn than this intuitive little marvel.
Happy Shaving one and all.

 

Menthol Monday's Shave


Cold Water Wash
Proraso
Jayaruh #314
eBarbershop Schick O Clone
Schick Twin Blade
CWR
Osage Rub

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Proraso Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #314 badger brush. I did two passes with the eBarbershop Schick O Clone Safety Razor with a Schick Twin Blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Monday

Prep: Warm Shower-Stirling Scots Pine Sheep
Soap: Country Club Spice Trail
Razor: Gillette Fat Boy
Blade: Vintage Gillette “Spoiler” Super Stainless (8)
Brush: Elite Razor Manchurian White-24mmx50mm
Aftershave: Country Club Southern Oud

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

Country Club Spice Trail today. 20 seconds to load the Elite Razor Manchurian White brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Vintage Gillette “Spoiler” Super Stainless still in the Fat Boy. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Country Club Southern Oud aftershave.

That's a great fragrance scent. The Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo line (blue bottles) are really, really good, natural smelling summer scents (but Ginepro di Sardegna still works great in winter). Cedro di Taormina is my favorite Acqua di Parma.

 

I'll post now for Menthol Monday:

Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Shark day 2
Bundubeard Kameelperd's Kick SS
Lucky Tiger AS Cream
B+M Arctique AS Splash
Oscar Pour Lui EdT


A wing-dinger of a freezing setup!

 

I hate to say it, but that lather looks weak and airy.

 

Wowsers! Exquisite set up Guy!

 

Wonderful, as usual Tim. I am curious as to your shave gear storage method. Pictures?
