Greetings,

An invigorating early morning cold water shave to finishing my shaving week off superbly.

The Vie-Long Shave Stick provided a slick protective lather for the full shave without re-apply it to my face. The performance & post shave feel from this shave stick is absolutely superb.

A comfortable 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Aloe Vera Body Lotion.

My face is feeling smooth cool, & smelling divine. ;)

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen. :cool:

Brush: DG B15
Soap: Old Spice
Razor: R41GS
Blade: Rubie (1)
Post: Old Spice

That was an exciting shave, the R41GS new to the stable, initial go around and the weight seems to up the game from the zamak by quite a margin. There was certainly a lot of feel so at least I knew what was going on at all times. Will this be a daily, nah I don't think so, will it see some use, definitely.

But the real star of the show, the Shulton Old Spice AS, having never used the real original I only knew anecdotally what to expect. It's like the modern shares a good portion of DNA but has been cut off at the knees in modern times. I've only just used it but by now the modern would already be dissipating but this one is going strong!

Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

Marc

The fifth day in a row using the ATT S-1 paired with a Wizamet blade. I normally don’t get that many shaves with a Wizamet blade but this combo seems to work. Another smooth, comfortable, close shave. Today’s brush is the smaller of the two da Vinci brushes I have. It works fine making lather. The resulting shave was perfect. Have a great day, folks.
