Semogue 1305 | Art of Shaving Lavender | Goodfella/Feather | Alum | Cade Balm | Frederic Malle Vetiver Extraordinaire

Brew: Six Point Brewery (Brooklyn) Bengali Tiger

Frankie, how do you like that VE? Good juice, but Frederic Malle is very proud of it!

So I broke down and did a three pass shave WTG, XTG, WTG.. AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Prep: A nice Hot shower
Uberlather:SRD Sandalwood, TOBS Sandalwood cream, glycerin
Brush:Franks Sivertip
Razor:Friodur 5/8
Strop:SRD IV 30/60 passes
ASB:Lubriderm
AS:none
Result:Oh good god what a shave!!!! Not one bit of stubble anywhere, not one speck of irritation. Not one twinge of sting with the ASB!! I had more hair on my face when I was born!!!! I will be curious how fast it grows a shadow as my beard grows very fast and rough... I think I have found my best shave so far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wowww Paul,
I was going to suggest you let a couple of days go by before you go at it, but I can see that would have been a moot point, LOL. EXCELLENT shave buddy

PS: Is that the 250th anniversary Friodur I see there? It better not be man...otherwise, I am coming to TX to hunt you down and claim it, LOOOOL. She is gorgeous.

Good morning friends.
Today once again my Thiers Issard with the beautiful filework


Have a nice day

I'm in the no shave today club.

Robert: I hear you regarding the ebay practice blades (2, 3, 4, 5, 6...) now I must show patience and wait for postal labor disputes to settle, and stick to window shopping only on ebay.

Nice shaves (and to be totally honest some amazing photographs) today gents.

A 4/8", 1/4 hollow? Sounds like one sweet blade with a major attitude. If she still feels a bit harsh (especially on 1/4 hollows), stay on the bevel setting stone a bit longer (just my 2 cents). Her bevel may not be quite there yet.

Thanks for the tip Robert, I'll keep that in mind. Got a new hone set in the mail so that bit of info will come in handy real soon

Thank you Robert! It´s a sweet blade, but I feel I´m falling behind, your connections to Max´s not healthy, you need to slow down, Robert. It can´t be good...

Prep: hot shower
Brush: Chris craft, two band
Razor: Henckels
Soap/AS: Tabac
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
