#85

Edwin Jagger 3One6 red
Personna Lab Blue (6th use)
Simpsons Chubby 1 Super
D R Harris Arlington

This was my first use of the new to me red handled 3One6 and it delivered a pretty good shave. Alas, the finish is not as good as the 3One6 I bought when the razor debuted a few years ago. Additionally, the shade of red has more than a hint of pink in it which is not obvious when looking at vendor photos.

Timeless Ti .68 with Q Shave (made in USA) blade, Semogue 830 and SV 70th

Hey Guys
It's time to catch up and get back with the program. Kathy and I have spent a few
days in Branson, MO. We had a great time with friends but our schedule was so busy
I didn't make time to do any posting. I used this combo from last Thursday thru Sunday.
They were all great shaves. But alas, as the saying goes, it's good to be back home again.
I'll post later today with a new Muhle/MdC post.

Please take care of yourself and each other.

Muhle Monday
MdC Monday

Razor: Muhle Rocca R94
Blade: Big Ben (11)
Brush: Muhle Kosmo STF
Soap: MdC Original

Tonight for MdC Monday I used the same gear combination as last Monday. The Kosmo always makes a fantastic and pleasing lather from MdC. Using such a small synthetic brush with this soap though means my MdC is just going nowhere fast. The Rocca as always provides a brilliant, comfortable shave and the Big Ben is still working well in my more aggressive razors.
The result was only a near BBS, but with all the comfort of MdC and the Rocca.

Monday 27th March, shave #86

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Nivea Men Shaving Creme
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #6
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea 2-in-1 Aftershave

I noticed one of the local shops had Nivea Men Shaving Creme (100 Years Edition), which I've never tried, so bought a tube of it on impulse.

It's easy to lather, and shave performance is fine. The post-shave is maybe a bit dryer than with SV or MWF.
 
MdC/Muhle Mondays!

Good Day Gents
Still In GRUME, GRUYERE and 365 Shaves

This is a fabulous trio I look forward to on Mondays. MdC is #1 on my personal list of top tier soaps. I always have to keep adding more water for it to reach it's slickness potential.
It is good to be back home after a nice visit to the Ozark mountains.

Please take care of yourself and each other.

Notes to today’s shave:

Wonderful shave today! The Ti95 and blade performed very well together. Smooth and comfortable.
The headshave was wonderful as well. I went ATG for the first time and that worked out pretty well. BBS in some places. Yeah!

Great start of the day!

Enjoy your shave!
