Razor - Merkur 34C
Blade - Feather
Brush - Leonidam "Bishop" 26mm 2-band badger
Soap - Soap Commander Courage
A/S - Brickell unscented balm

I ended up with a really nice shave today, despite this blade being totally spent and not cutting well. I guess I could've taken it out early on and just continued with a new one, but I still ended up with great results, and my face feels great, so I win, blade! This brush is fun to use, and this soap has a really great scent. Ah, Saturday.

It's time to be creative.

Color, B&W, sepia or a photograph with any type of artistic touch you wish is always desired.


HAVE FUN!
I just tried shaving with Cold River Soaps and wow! I always thought all this talk about the magical “post shave” experience was some fairy tail or folk lore.. holy was I wrong. This has been the first soap that I haven’t needed moisturizer or balm afterwards. My face felt fantastic, very impressive!

Soap: Truefitt & Hill Number 10
Brush: Maggard's synthetic brush
Razor: Gillette Guard Razor
Blade: GG single-blade pivoting cartridge
Post: Alum Crystal
Aftershave:Nivea Cooling After Shave Balm

Trying to a dull a pretty fresh blade to make for safe headshaving. Made a few temple area passes with this. Bad idea. Instant irritation. But golly, this Truefitt and Hill smells wonderful.

Greetings,


A relaxing sunday morning shave.


Like a vast majority of UK tradtional wet shavers the wilkinson sword "classic" razor was one of my first introductory de razors when i entered the wonderful world of traditional wet shaving, It's a razor that i will always be proud to have in my den purely because of it's classic design, and durable usages.Both the wilkinson sword 'Classic' & 'premium TTO' razors are excellent daily or travel razors that have gave me socially acceptable comfortable irritation-free shaves with each outing. Paired together with a more aggressive blade,both of these ladies can be assertive...

Another enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of Nivea Men ~ Body Shaving Anti-Irritation ASLB.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling devine.;)

Enjoy your Sunday Ladies & Gentlemen.:cool:
