Just this moment, the heavens opened up and released all of the above. Intense and brief. In fact, as I'm typing this, the rain has subsided and a begin patch of blue sky is rapidly emerging.

QCS VOSTOK | FATBOY | PERSONNA | SEMOGUE 1800

$sotdmay23.jpg
This marks the first tie I have used a soap two days in a row since I started wet shaving(and have had more than one soap in my possession). The Vostok is that good. The shave today was even better than yesterday. Dialed the fatboy to 7 and it hit the sweet spot. Resulting in a BBS shave. Maybe the stars aligned correctly or it is just a magical combo, but the result of this shave was perfect.

 
Friday

Prep: Hot Shower-Stirling Scots Pine Bath Soap
Soap: Figaro Cream (Hungary)
Razor: Gillette Red Tip Superspeed
Blade: Israeli Red Personna (3)
Brush: Whipped Dog Silvertip 22mmx48mm
Aftershave: Figaro

WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angle for my beard a bit)

The Red Tip was up again today, loaded with an Israeli Red Personna. I used the Figaro cream from Hungary. It is from the same folks that make the Barbon. They are both excellent creams! I finished up with the matching Figaro AS.
