TGIF Shave


Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Razor: 6/8" Thiers-Issard Historical "Rooster & Fox", Worked Back, 1/4 Hollow, Round Point
Brush: 25mm Vestavia Silvertip Badger
Überlather: CarrieM Bay Rum Shave Creme + Cella Crema da Barba Shave Soap + Glycerin
Astringent: Thayer's Witch hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-Free Moisturizer
AS Splash: Floïd Italian Blue
Result: Wickedly nice shave today. The TI received a nice refresher on the Maruka Asagi (w/ slight slurry). Took on an amazing edge...no need for stropping. The CarrieM and Cella combination was amazing!! LOTS of moist and slick lather with plenty of cushion - enough for at least 5 more passes. This fuller grind TI is a heck of a blade. Quiet as a whisper. Woooshhhh and voila! stubble gone. Repeat. Aahhhhhhh. A beautiful and smooth shave. I love this wet shaving business. Everything in life should be as enjoyable. Throw in some Floïd/moisturizer mix and I am ready to "rock and roll".

PS: Throughout the shave today, I couldn't help but think about the article I read (which I posted here) regarding the fact that every time we shave, we are taking as much skin as we are stubble (on average ~0.5 mls of it)...talk about serious exfoliation!!!!

Have a marvelous Friday gentlemen .
