Greetings,

A new shave set up to start the weekend...

Head Shave:

It's near the end of the month for my head shave, recently i had a maiden face shave using the W.S. shave stick and i was curious to see how it would perform using it for a head shave..The verdict?..After my weekly 'No Guard' buzz cut with my wahl hair clippers i had a shower, rubbed the wet shave stick into my head, then with my damp semogue 1470, built up a slick protective lather, which didn't dissipate once applied to my precious swede..The E.R. 1924 cut through my remaining hair follicles with ease, after 2 wtg passes + atg & pick up pass my head was dolphin smooth with no irritation or errors.

Face Shave:

After the wonderful head shave i carried on with my face shave, rubbing the shave stick directly into my stubble, and again building up a wonderful lather, which was enough for the full shave,without having to re-apply the stick to my face between each pass.

Another 3 pass + pick ups BBS shave with no errors to report. The W.S. shave stick, ER razor & Gem PTFE blade worked together superbly. A very comfortable head and face shave..The Ever Ready SE razors are amazingly smooth & effcient, which i highly recommend every traditional wet shaver to shave with one if giving the opportunity to do so...A effortless superb BBS shave.

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of aloe vera gel.

My head & face are feeling smooth, & smelling devine.

Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.

Note: Have you ever had one of those shaves you just didn't want to end? Well, today was one.
Simply put, this is the finest shave soap, both the base and the scent, which I have EVER used.
Bar none.
Have a great day!​

Nov. 24 SOTD

Soap: Declaration Grooming After the Rain

Brush: Stirling Synthetic

Razor: Rockwell 6c (R2)

Blade: Astra SP (4)

Aftershave: Stirling Executive Man Splash followed by Nivea Aftershave balm

Man this shave was nice. This was my first time using anything by Declaration Grooming, as I got a sample of it about a week ago along with some others. Really nice bowl lather produced super creamy lather. I also tried a new against the grain technique on my neck. My beard on my neck grows outward, and I usually go against the grain by going North to South on my neck, but this time I went Out to In, and it made a huge difference. I also can't wait to get this no shave November beard off my face this upcoming Friday! Happy Shaves Y'all!

1950s Japanese Bon travel razor on Karve handle. Gillette Goal not the smoothest blade I've used but it's given me too great BBS shaves in the old type heads.

 

[Norman Gunston]

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Saponificio Varesino Two-band High Mountain Manchurian White Badger
Soap: Klar Kabinett
Bowl: Little Wren Pottery Custom
Razor: Pils 101NE
Blade: Vintage NOS Gillette Bleue Extra (5)
Post: CRSW Alcohol-Free American Barbershop Moisturising Aftershave
Scent: APR Fougère Bourbon Rose EdP

First use of this bowl from Little Wren Pottery. It worked very well in concert with the Saponificio Varesino brush, with copious amounts of lather generated. Good old Klar Kabinett is such a consistent performer, and the Pils razor glided effortlessly around my face.
Three passes for a DFS+.
