Today I am going to a wedding and I didn't want to tempt fate with trying out multiple passes. I think next Saturday I might start up multiple passes. Still working on this cake of Classic Brand soap so I can start up a new soap.

Result: I think I am getting as close as I can with only one pass. Neck irritation is staying at a minimum.

Gentlemen, here is today's shave menu:

Razor: Henckels Friodur 13/16 round point
Brush: Rooney best
Cream: The Art of Shaving lavender

Alum
Witch hazel
Balm: Institute Karite
Aftershave: Coldinava (Italian lavender)

Razor: Gillette Super Adjustable with Wilkinson blades
Brush: Jade handled boar
Soap: Mama Bear's Lilac Ice
AS: Thayers Rose followed by Clubman
Result: Fantastic! Set the adjustable to seven and got three easy passes to BBS. The Lilac Ice was especially chilly this morning and I barely felt any sting from the Clubman. The cufflinks are Anson gold tone and will be worn today while at a wedding.

Mitchell's Wool Fat // Slant Vintage Baquelite // A&A Custom Chubby // Thayers // Thüff Herb

Back in my garden !

This time with a WB, that has been well abused (I can only read "manufactred by..."), I have rescaled it with french horn scales from the XIX century (original scales were homemade and ugly)





Result : great shave (WB is a reliable brand for that !)
