Groundhog Day shave

D76EBA4B-D627-4061-8F3F-EA751F7C3B81.jpeg


Prep: The Body Shop sugar scrub
Soap: Southern Witchcrafts Pomona
Brush: Zenith boar
Razor: iKon X3 slant on bulldog handle, #8
Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium, #3 and binned
Post: Alum -> hyaluronic acid-> Clubman Reserve Brandy Spice aftershave

A two-pass DFS cheeks/CCS neck tonight, some irritation/razor bumps on my neck for which I suspect the blade. Great scent to the soap and the Brandy Spice was a nice complement. Will skip Wednesday to give my neck a break.

Brush: Omega 11047 Mixed Midget
Soap: Rasozero Barbacco
Razor: Timeless SSSlim OC on custom olive wood handle
Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (3)
ASL: Reuzel

Another enjoyable shave. :biggrin:

Other than that I have nothing much to report. I'm liking the same great tools and software (barring the fun and ever changing ASLs) and getting to really love my Timeless Slim. :w00t:


Happy shaves guys. :cornut:

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Rudy Vey Shavemac Silvertip Badger
Soap: OSP Eucalyptus and Menthol + 3 drops Stirling Frost Drops
Razor: Blackland Blackbird
Blade: Vintage NOS Gillette Super Silver (1)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel; Osage Rub

Deadlines, Bush Fires and Lockdown contributed to my entering the batrhroom contemplating a nine day growth. Thus, I selected an aggressive razor and a very sharp blade; the Blackbird and Vintage Gillette Super Silver respectively. Using a very light touch, this combination proved simply marvelous.
We've also been suffering through a heatwave here in Perth, so I was yearning for a metholated shave. I amped up the OSP soap with some Stirling frost Drops, and was rewarded with both excellent and very cooling lather.
Didn't push it too far given the growth, so three passes for a DFS+.

Razor - Gillette Slim Adjustable
Blade - Gillette 7 O'clock Green
Brush - Wolf Whiskers 28mm Declaration B7
Cream - St. James of London Tonka & Tobacco Flower
A/S - Cremo Reserve

A very close shave. Not as smooth as the shaves with the Slim last week, but still pretty nice. The cream was pretty good, big tobacco scent.

Excellent quality soap! Very nice scent with thickly creamy and slick lather. The brush is just awesomely soft and wonderful.
Shave with razor paired with the blade was super smooth and comfortable especially during the atg. 3passes for a mostly bbs to dfs result without any issues. Excellent aftershave too. Rating today 10/10! Marvelous shave session!
