Thayers Superhazel | Proraso Green Pre/post | Cinnawood Boroka

How did you like the Cinnawood Boroka, Doug? The profile makes me wish I had picked it up.

Such an inviting shave pic, Guy. The Single Edge does have a nice profile, no matter the version. I really love the Rubberset handle.

Thank you my friend

 

[ronweston]

That's my kind of shave. Nothing wrong with No. 63 in my books. And the Charcoal Goods is one to be reckoned with, though I may have to switch from the Level 3 to the Level 2 head for a while.....

That is an envy shave, Steve.

• Mühle Kosmo Silvertip Fibre 21mm
• Mühle Sea Buckthorn Shaving Soap
• Mühle R106 (R89 with black handle)
• Rapira Super Stainless
• De Vergulde Hand After Shave Balm

That's the way to have a Mühle shave, Iwan. I have an R108 myself and am kind of partial to Sea Buckthorn.

Hope you feel better Ron and they indicated that the Flu shot this year was only about 10% effective. Be well soon!

Thanks, David. I am much better now ... just a lingering head cold. I'm hoping that the 10% effective is on my side this winter!

 

[ronweston]

I do hope you feel better ronweston.

Thank you. I believe I am on the mend now.

 

[ronweston]

Feel better soon Ron.

Thanks, Clint. I'm heading in the right direction.

 

[ronweston]

Nice and festive!

Thank you very much, Matt.

 

[ronweston]

Beautiful and colorful Christmas photo.

I hope you're better Ron, Christmas is coming soon and you need health to enjoy the day as it should be.
All the best for you

Thank you, my friend. I think I'll be ok for the holidays. I just have a bit of a lingering head cold now.

 

[ronweston]

Wonderful setup Ron, very festive. How is the Humphrys WH?

Thank you, Jerry. I really like the Humphreys. The Lilac is the first Humphreys I purchased after using Thayers for quite a while. It has become my go to witch hazel, which I much prefer to Thayers. I finally purchased the Citrus a few months ago and find it an excellent companion to the Lilac. There are a couple of more I plan to get.

Wonderful setup Steve, I love the Christmas Eve soap , that is in my rotation for this Sundays shave

Thanks Chris. I really like this soap and try to get in a number of shaves with it during the season, because I seem to not use it much once spring come around.

Sumptuous photo, Steve. I love the pervasive blue.

Thank you Ron

That is an envy shave, Steve.

The more I use the Blackberry Blossom Bay, the more I enjoy it. It is really growing on me.

Early Friday

Maggards V3 Razor
Astra SS (1)
Omega Boar
Palmolive Classic

I shaved off an almost 5 day growth of beard using this combo.
These Astra Stainless blades do a hell of a great job in this razor!
End result: A total BBS.

 

[jwsmith]

Now that is a refreshing looking shave, Josh. The brush is a beauty!

Cheers, Ron! I was looking through some InstaGram posts and saw that brush handle and just had to have it. I bought the handle back in October and then had to wait until Scott from Declaration Grooming to finish his move and get set back up before the handle could be shipped to him. Scott's hand-tied knots are legendary and it's easy to see after using one. Fantastic!

Neat nestling photo, Clint.

Thank you Ron.
