Pre: Wash w/CeraVe bar
Brush: PAA "Phantom Aerolite"
Lather: Stirling "Lime Coconut"
Razor: Feather "AS-D2"
Blade: Lord "Platinum"
Post: GBS Alum bar
Balm: CeraVe Lotion
Frag: Caron "Pour Un Homme"
Panic time! My alum bar is now about
the size of a postage stamp and almost
as thin . . . and I can't find my remaining
two bars. Ransacking the place is a definite
possibility. My survival is at stake.

Stay healthy,

Bill

Changed blades on the Wolfman. Now using the Personna Med Prep blade – one of my favorites. The Bigelow does an excellent job of making sufficient lather for a four-pass face shave and two-pass head shave. A nice BBS shave to start the week off. Have a good one, gents.

SOTD MONDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 13, 2021

This morning I decided to have a full-on Japanese shave. My first Japanese silver steel straight razor was this wonderful Tanifuji Airi 11/16. It holds an amazing edge, and I never fail to have an excellent shave. It really feels good to be straight shaving my mug again, after a week with just a safety razor. Three very pleasant passes listening to that wonderful “Buttering Toast” refrain really set the tone for this morning’s mug shave. Of course, the Traveling Wilbury’s “End of the Line” playing in the background didn’t hurt.

The Feather AS-D2 was really one of the first all SS CNC-built, high end safety razors following on the earlier AS-D1, which was entirely too mild. The AS-D2 has been dismissed by too many impatient shave brothers and sisters as being much too mild a shaver as well. In fact, when equipped with a Feather blade, it’s probably one of the most efficient shaving safety razors on the planet. It just has a very narrow sweet spot, that once found, delivers an extremely close noggin shave as its two ATG passes did this morning. I feel, cool, clean and porcelain smooth!

RAZOR: Tanifuji Airi 11/16 (Mug), Feather AS-D2 (Dome)
BLADE: Feather DE
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: Rooney Ebony Finest Badger
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brushsqueezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Pre de Provence Bergamot & Thyme AS Balm.

Brush: Shavemac 20/48 Silvertip 2-Band
Soap: Bignoli Neutro [no fragrance]
Razor: RazoRock Lupo 95 GT
Blade: Personna Red (6)
ASL: Whiskey Woods

An excellent shave. :biggrin:

That was Bignoli Neutro shave #4 and the little bit of "scent" has gone, it's truly neutral now. Of the few unscented soaps I've tried that's the only one that's ended up smelling of "nothing," marvelous.

I really enjoy having a truly scentless soap... no distractions during the shave, and whatever ASL I decide on won't be "contaminated." :lol1:


Happy shaves guys. :cornut:

>> Stirling Soaptember<<

Preshave: shower, frigid tap water
Brush: Semogue Owners Club Finest Badger
Soap: Stirling Soap ~ Gin & Tonic
Razor: Blackland Blackbird SS OC
Blade: Wilkinson Sword Germany (2)
Post shave: frigid tap water, Schröder und Mann ~ MajestätAS, Nivea Sensitive asb.

The Blackbird mowed down two days' worth of growth with ease today. An effortless shave, although the Wilkinson was a little rough. That's not to say the German Wilki is a bad blade, no, not at all - it's one of my favorites. But maybe I'm just spoiled by the wonderful smoothness of the Polsilver Stainless with which I have shaved the last couples of weeks...

Happy shaves, y'all!
