This was my first shave since beginning Movember.
Not sure exactly what style of moustache I'm going to grow, so I left it pretty big and generic for now.
Gave myself a pretty decent cut right in the middle of the chin while doing some unfamiliar manouvering around the Mo.
Other than that, it was a great Sunday night 2 pass shave.
Have a great week boys, and thanks for the great posts and pics

A fine initiation for a good friend of ours. He was reluctant at first, but we led him through the process and explained a lot and he did an impressively good first job!
Afterwards we had a really good discussion about the way we are alive and that we are all small vibrations in a resonating universe. One from the metaphysical side, one from the scientific side and me in between. It was refreshing.
He took the kit home for further exploration. Another enthousiast added to the group.
Have a fine week gents!

Razor – Chaize Maillot
Brush – Vintage HESS Barbers Favorite
Soap – Stone Fox, Beau Brummel scent
AST – Osma Alum
AS – Speick
This French razor is a personal favorite. The plastic scales just don’t do it justice so I am thinking something in ivory would befit the blade. The vintage HESS brush works like a mop. Sloppy but effective! It worked well whipping up some of Taranstone’s new Stone Fox- Beau Brummel scent in the Schwarzweisskeramik scuttle. Lovely, lovley.
