QCS VOSTOK | FATBOY | PERSONNA | SEMOGUE 1800

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.

Decision No. 1: To shave or not to shave? Hm? And, if so, with what?

To those of you who like personal care products containing aloe, you might notice the aloe plant. It is from a cutting of a plant that has been passed around my wife's family for more than 70 years. Her sister is the caretaker of the original. We've had this one for at least 25 years now.
Thanks,celestino!
