Monday
Allen & Son 6/8" - Professor Blighty's Black & White Cream
New Forest 2213 'Chunky' - Alum - Givenchy Gentleman Aftershave

Cool Shower
Warm Oil
Dirty Bird Scuttle
La Toja Shave soap
New Forest Badger
13/16 Spanish Point : 3/8 Hollow : G10 Jade Ghost Custom by Max
AOS Aluminum
Aramis
Vaseline for men

Second shave with this razor. Second shave with this soap. The soap lathered up thick and slick. The aroma was wonderful. The razor, well what can I say about it. It just glides over my face and easily removes whiskers. Balanced in the hand and wonderful to shave with.

Location: 91324
Prep: Shower
Razor: Merkur Classic 1904 w/ Feather Blade
Brush: AOS Badger
Cream: Proraso (Green Tub)
Post Shave: Alum/Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel
AS: Ogallala Bay Rum w/Limes & Peppercorns

Results: Very nice! I'm finding that Feathers need a "break in" period. The first 2-3 shaves I have to go VERY light with the pressure (more so than usual), as these things are wicked sharp. By shave #5, things are going nicely.

Prep:Hot Shower, AOS Sandalwood Pre-shave oil
Scuttle:Dirty Bird Custom Double
Brush:TGN 24mm Premium A in Custom Cherry wood
Strop:SRD PIV English Bridle
Uberlather:Cade cream, TGQ Cavendish Black, 5 drops Glycerin
Razor: Clauss
After shave: Ogallala Bayrum, Sage, & Cedar
EDT:L'Occitane Vetyver


Result:An amazing shave made possible by the many men and women who paid the ultimate price so that freedom may endure. Thank you to all who have served.

Feathers are ruthlessly sharp indeed. Nice choice though. Equally nice choice in AS

Good morning Gentlemen!

Shave prep: Face wash
Brush: Frank Shaving Finest Badger, long handle
Soap: Erasmic Shave Cream
Razor: Erik Anton Berg, 5/8 half hollow spike, in bone scales.
Strop: magnetic bench strop
After Shave Splash: Lavender-Spice splash, with black pepper, nutmeg and cloves to balance the florals.
Notes: I did not enjoy my shave much today, I have a cold and cough and sneeze a lot. Therefore I only did one pass and a touchup, but shave was smooth and otherwise comfortable. The soap lathers lovely, but the face felt a little dry so I had to use a little shea butter lotion. Note to self: try using a preshave oil with this lather.
The funky after effects was an attempt to visualize today's shave.



Have a nice day everybody.
