Back on the forum after a couple of day’s being offline after my father passed away, hard times and they will be hard for some time, but i’m happy i have a spot on the web were i can find some distraction from the reality
So sorry to hear that, but wet shaving can definitely be one of those things that helps you through the worst - keep taking that little bit of time just for yourself!

Brush: Shavemac Silvertip D01 16/47 🇩🇪
Soap: Chiseled Face Natural 🇺🇸
Razor: Yaqi SS Duomo on Chiseled Face Ti Industrial Handle 🇨🇳 🇺🇸
Blade: Vintage Polsilver Stainless (4) 🇵🇱
ASL: Face Freezer [home brew] 🇬🇧

A good shave. :biggrin:

To my surprise, the blade was a bit tuggy, even with wet (slick 'n' thin) lather. I still got a BBS finish, but I'll start a new blade next shave.


Happy shaves guys. :cornut:
