:001_wub:

Brush: Shavemac Olive Wood 20/44 Silvertip 2-Band
Soap: Vitos Red
Razor: 2020 SS Gillette Tech with custom olive wood handle
Blade: Super Gillette Blue Blade (3)
ASL: Proraso Red

A very nice shave. :biggrin:

... but the good ol' Proraso Red tingled a tad more than usual. I'll have to stop being so damned cocky. :blush:
 
Pre: Hot Shower
Razor: DE89
Blade: Feather
Brush: Yaqi Pony Knot
Soap: A&E Monte Carlo
Post: B&M Le Grand Chypre Splash

This razor continues to surprise.. Four passes plus touch ups resulted in an extremely close shave, very close to BBS. B&M have come up with an excellent scent with the Chypre, might have to pair it up with the soap 😊

It's Zazor/Zazen Time!!

Lather: K Shave Worx Zazen soap
Razor: The Legendary Zazor
Blade: Astra SP
Post: K Shave Worx Zazen splash

I was way overdue for a Zazor shave. Each time I use it, I'm reminded what a pleasure it is to use. The K Shave Worx Zazen performed well as always, and paired well with the Zazor to complete the Eastern theme of the shave.

The BIC Chrome Platinum has been very harsh since the first shave on Monday. I have used BIC’s before and I like them very much. I tried corking the blade but it seemed to make it worse. I switched to a Feather that I used last week which had 7 shaves on it. The BIC is finished for this week.
