SATURDAY, 6 June 2020

Pre: CeraVe Bar
Lather: Real Shaving Co. Cream
Brush: H.I.S Synth
Bowl: Silicone dog feeder
Razor: Feather AS-D2
Blade: Silver Star (5)
Post: GBS alum block
Balm: CeraVe
Frag: Ted Lapidus
​

Two day's growth today, so I had to lather up for two passes.
(Normally, I just make one ATG pass, plus a clean up.
Today required a WTG first pass.)

Stay healthy, everyone!​

The AS-D2 is a very under-appreciated razor! Many have dismissed it as a “mild” razor, but once one learns its very narrow sweet spot, any level of whisker will fall victim to it. After a hospital stay several months ago, I took down 2 1/2 weeks of growth effortlessly! You’ve inspired me to pull out mine in the near future. I like to use it with Feather blades. YMMV! Great shave!

Tabac Reloaded

Razor: Fatboy
Blade: Nacet (3)
Brush: isana badger
AS: Tobacco
Soap: Tabac
Beer. BRLO

Gave Tabac a second chance, it grows on me, just not sure if i want it to.
Nacet is great, might stay with it.
I am on a cheap German/ Europe AS trip right now and this was so far the best, better than Pitralon and Tarr.
BRLO is great, miss my hometown.
I need a good brush.

Have a nice day!

An excellent shave in 3 passes

 

[Suhrim21]

So today's shave was a new to me razor I have had for a while and just honed it finally. This is now the second razor I was able to set bevel and get a wicked sharp edge on. The point on it is deadly.

Today's shave

Razor - Schulze I believe it's a 5/8"

Strop - Dubl Duck Scotch Cordovan 2 1/2" with a Hess Keen Edge Silk Finish secondary. Both the leather and secondary were bought individually. the Hess was almost new. I have the silver leaf inside so I dont damage it.

Brush - @GolFisHunt handmade with Shave Forge 24mm Silvertip knot.

Lather Bowl - Captains Choice Lather Bowl

Soap - Stirling Lime

Aftershave - Stirling Lime
