I haven’t been shaving much lately, but after recently finishing off some TOBS cream, I busted out The Dead Sea. To be honest, I wasn’t crazy about it the first couple of times I shaved with it, so I shelved it for a long time. Well, completely different story this time! I really enjoyed it!! The scent was really nice for a summer day, it was very slick, and post shave felt great. I definitely used more water this time and that seemed to make all the difference.

Just another fantastic shave. I’m kinda sold on these Rapira Swedish Supersteel blades with this setup. Excellent session tonight.

I can smell the scent from this soap better now. The lather qualities are really good...rich, creamy, and slick...nice!
Today's razor was nice enough in 3passes for a sas result. Nice matching aftershave...

Monday June 13, 2022 - Just Shaving June (no Paladin brushes, alas)

Razor: Supply 2.0 matte black injector with SE comb plate / Supply Black Label (6)
Brush: APShaveCo Elegant Emerald w/ APLuxury 24mm mixed badger/boar knot
Soap: TOOBS Lavender Shaving Cream "croap"
After: Alum and TSD Lavender Shave Milk

My first shave since about Thursday, so several days stubble.

I had an almost unused tub of TOOBS Lavender Shave Cream that sat for several years with the lid apparently not tightened down enough. When I opened it, three quarters of the contents had evaporated, leaving the tub one quarter filled with a firm croap. The lovely lavender smell remained strong though. I find that this particular make of cream continues to work well even when dried out -- a few swirls in the tub load the brush and the result face lathers much the same as before and is still slick and protective. So the cream drying out is not a disaster; I just have one fewer creams and one more "soap".

The razor did its usual fine job with two passes, one WTG on the face and ATG on my neck, then the second pass XTG everywhere. The Black Label blade is still sharp on its 6th outing - no degradation noted yet.

Nothing much of note from the alum. I finished with The Shave Den shop's Lavender "milk" aftershave balm. Very soothing.

Next shave, I will probably return to trying to kill off the shards of my old MWF puck

How do you like Tiger blades?

They are very very good! Surprisingly perform as good as the top tier PPI blades. The 12.95 CAD on amazon for a 100 pack looking really good right now
