A great shave with the Belgian cleaver again. Ejoyed this time to the "tunes" of Slayer - Reign in Blood. Lucky I didn't nic myself in the process.
Enjoy your Easter gents!

Todays stubble slicings were achieved with the following items...



Pre : Hot water, Old Spice preshave wash
Brush : Progress Vulfix 404
Soap : Proraso green tub
Razor : Merkur 15C
Blade : Personna
Post : Cold water, alum block, Nivea AS balm

Finish : Ok

Comments :
I'm not sure if it's technique or what, but the Proraso lather dries much quicker than anything I've used before, and requires one re-application mid-WTG pass and one mid-XTG pass.

Will shave this afternoon and I'm sure it will be great. A three-day-growth shave is always great

Sorry to hear you were under the weather but I am glad you are on the mend.

And I agree that should be a great shave comming.

Just finished the shave. It was good, but I'm still fatigued and started setting dizzy toward the end. It was a DFS and confirmed to me that I among this group of straight wielding wet shavers (Anyone that can shave with a straight while having dizzy spells that border on hallucinations and not draw blood, must surely have secured some right of passage into the group, right?)

Location: White River Junction, VT
Razor: 6/8 Wheatley Brothers Wheat Sheaf Round
Strop: Cangooner Enterprises #1
Brush: Vulfix Travel
Soap: Proraso
Shave: 3 passes, WTG/XTG/ATG
Astringent: Alum
A/S: Captain's Choice Bay Rum

I've taken this shaving thing on the road for an extended weekend trip mostly to Boston. Tonight, I'm about half way there. This is a pretty picturesque part of the world, and it must be spectacular when the fall colours arrive. Excellent prices on single malts across the river in New Hampshire too. I just wish I could bring more than one bottle home with me.

It is a beautiful part of the world! I lived there for 3 years, and was amazed at every season.

Good morning amigos! No shave today, and probably not tomorrow either.

The pics this week have been awesome! Thanks for the great shave p0rn!

Have a blessed Easter!

Another broken alum block; no sting at all. No nicks either, which is nice. I'll have to get a tub of Tabac, as lathering the stick up wasn't easy.
