Hey Friends,

this shave was not the best i had...honestly it was one of the badest i had...my skin was red and irritated from the first stroke on. It burned like fire while shaving...don´t know if it has been the equipment that doesn´t worked together. But it has something positive...the next shave can only be better.Here is my Sunday shave with my all new Bismarck 6/8 Straight Razor:

-Prep 1: hot shower
-Prep 2: extra virgen Oliveoil mit hot towel
-Soap: Jabonman Vetiver Mandarin Litsea Cubeba
-Brush: Semogue "Barbear Classico" Texugo
-Straight: Bismarck 6/8
-Aftershave: Floid "The Genuine"



The straight razor is very good. Sharp and gentle at the same time. Seems that i did a good buy. The Floid Aftershave cools my "Burning sensation" down a bit now and later i will put on some Aftershave Balm. Things will hopefully getting better than.

Have a great time and take care of you.

Greetings
Thorsten​

Sunday

Prep: Hot Shower-Stirling Scots Pine Bath Soap
Soap: Maggard Limes & Bergamot
Razor: Gillette Slim [6]
Blade: ASCO Super Stainless Red Box (1)
Brush: oscar11 TGN 2-Band Finest 24mmx50mm
Aftershave: Grey Flannel

WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)

My first ASCO Red Box blade. I loaded one in the Slim and lathered up with the L&B using my oscar11 brush. The Asco delivered up a nice close, smooth, and nick free shave. It is not as sharp as my regulars, but at almost half the cost, I didn’t expect it to be. So far, so good. I will see how it holds an edge. I finished up with Grey Flannel.

Bob
