Fifth One Blade In Fruity February

Last night’s excellent shave
Karve brass Overlander
Loi Titanium (2)
Damp facecloth aka “shave binky”
AP ShaveCo Dinosaur G5C 28mm synthetic brush
Pre-shave: no
Lather: ARKO!, bowl-loaded; face-lathered
Aftershave: Aqua Velva
Post-shave: warm shower

What a difference a pre-shave shower makes with this set-up! Same close shave, but I could feel the whiskers resisting the whole time.

Thank you for your kind words, Guido. I appreciate them.

Hoping @Time Bandit will host the event in 2025. King Fleming knows how to throw a four-week shindig

Haha yes, it's the cover of the first Iron Maiden album. Prowler really starts that album off well.

Fifth One Blade In Fruity February

Tonight’s excellent shave
Karve brass Overlander
Loi Titanium (3)
Damp facecloth aka “shave binky”
AP ShaveCo Dinosaur G5C 28mm synthetic brush
Pre-shave: warm shower
Lather: Cella Extra Extra Bio, bowl-loaded; face-lathered
Aftershave: Ulm Nom
Post-shave: face wash with shave binky
Post-shave: mentholated Equate moisturizer

Finished the One Blade In February Challenge and closed out Fruity February in style. A slick, citrusy cologne lather of Cella Extra Extra Bio and a Loi Titanium blade riding in a brass Overlander. Zoo-ee mama! is what the kids would say. Tempted to sand the cap’s outer surface. A bead-blasted surface where the razor touches skin makes me wonder if its designer wears burlap pajamas to bed.

Many thanks to @Mike M for hosting OBIF and my Fruity February co-participants.

Happy shaves, everyone!
