TAGMSC shave soap

TAGMSC aftershave
a pretty crappy shave, took three passes and I still wasn't satisfied. Of course I probably needed a longer prep time. I only had time for two hot towels. Usually I shave after the shower and that is so much better.

Starting to finish T's violet soap - can't wait to use it up and get the Rose.
The JR was shaving 9/10 at most and this is unaccaptable. The JE was even worse, a huge disappointment, as it was stellar on TPT and HHT. Weird...
The TI, however, was a very nice 9+ or higher. Quite happy, as it's not dialed in yet - so I fully expect to improve it :y

i was a little hasty today---> two little red lines on my right form moving the blade as i set it down for a stroke, should have stopped at 2 passes. i had to sit in meetings all day and lots of people commented on the scrapes, especially those folks who know i use a straight, just a bad day for a mistake. :)

It last but it is soft, This was a Sample I have the Double Strength plain Bay Rum at Home at that last a longer and has more pronounce scent. For the price these are great products maybe not to the level of my St. Johns but close and the scent is a little different so both fit nicely in the rotation. But of course with any scent YMMV. But for the $$ worth a shot IMOQuote:

C&E best badger brush
KMF key lime cream
W&B Invincible 5/8 square
Proraso LC AS
The W&B was an Ebay special, and it took a little work to get it where I wanted. I think I overhoned it the first time around since I was trying to get at a little nick I found when cleaning it up with MAAS. So I did it over again and got a good edge this time. :)
Have a nice weekend, folks!!
