Thursday shave

34BB9457-9365-4417-B502-215AE4870C24.jpeg


Prep: Cleansing Story White Clay foam
Soap: Tallow + Steel Morocco
Brush: Simpson Astor A1 in Best
Razor: 1940s Gillette Super Speed, #11
Blade: Shark Super Chrome, #3 and banked
Post: alum -> T+S Morocco aftershave

Two passes only for DFS with the exception of CCS on my usual trouble spot. Meeting friends tonight so I cut the Morocco with a bit of witch hazel. Didn't make much of a difference. I love the stuff so that's okay by me; they may think otherwise. :pipe: Binned the Shark but I look forward to trying that blade in a different razor to see how it compares.

Love the aromatic scent of the soap. Today's lather was creamy and slick...
This razor paired with the blade was another excellent, smooth, comfortable, and efficient shave. 3passes without any issues for a mostly bbs finish. Aftershaves were excellent.

The Shavemac 177 made easy work of finishing off the GD Magnolia. My usual four-pass shave yielded a superb BBS shave. Have a good weekend gents.

Love the presentation! What program did you use to create the jigsaw effect?
