Thank you Gary.

 

Thursday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Musgo Real Shave Soap
Jayaruh #292 Badger
Cobra Classic
Feather Professional
CWR
Aqua Velva Sensitive 5 in 1 AS Balm

The Musgo Real Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #292 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Cobra Classic with a Feather Professional Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Sensitive 5 in 1 AS Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Thursday morning:

Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Gillette day 9
Barbon SC
Nivea Cool Kick ASB
Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
Bleu de Chanel AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel Parfum

For the next little while I’m going to continue using stuff that’s been sitting around neglected for a long time. The Hungarian made Barbon cream is really nice stuff - the scent is great, the lather is terrific, and the postshave feeling is so soothing as well as comfortable. The Nivea Cool Kick balm hasn’t really got a great scent but it’s very good at moisturizing and cooling my skin. To me no other fragrance can beat or even match the Bleu de Chanel. Another perfect shave!

Be well and safe!

Have a great day!​

 

In keeping with my "Boar Break In" thread, same setup as yesterday, just different brush. I'm trying to be y'know "sciency" and keep the variables to a minimum.

Nice handle on your Vector. Never seen such a aggressive helical cut in a handle!

Thanks Gary!

 

Well Dave, it was an awesome shave! Very smooth shaver with just the right amount of blade feel. Even though I may have pushed the Perma-Sharp blade a bit far at 7 shaves the whiskers still seemed to melt away. Paired with a heavier handle, I think I probably like it just a little better than my other 2-piece Rotbart which has a somewhat similar head. I will have to revisit that one shortly to compare as well as try this one out with it's intended travel handle. Here's a few pictures to show the difference in the heads...

 

Does anybody on here shower, or just shave?

 

AWESOME, congrats again on the score

 

Very classy set up.

The ship on the bottle of VIBR standing proud takes me to a different place......
