Finally! T-Shirt weather…break out the citrus!
I seem to be on a roll. Lately every one of my shaves has been superb, including this one. STAR DE…can’t go wrong there. This Crown Platinum seems to be an excellent smooth shaving blade. If you’ve got one in your assortment…give it a go.
Pharaoh’s Dreamsicle….yummy Creamsicle.
Top it off with Seville oranges.

Razor: Le Grelot 6/8
Strop: Tony Miller Steerhide
Brush: Simpson Trafalgar T2
Aftershave: Witch Hazel / Osage Rub
Opened up 2 weepers from yesterday, but otherwise no blood/irritation. The scent from the soap made me excited for this summer. Really looking forward to getting back out and relax on a beach. It really took me somewhere other than NYC, which is a place I'm severely yearning to get out of.

Friday's Clubman shave, mid-morning before picking up the littles from pre-school today, my standard two-pass shave with a bit of clean up, 9++/10, no mishaps. A surprisingly good shave with a blade getting tired:
Pre-shave: shower with Ivory Bar Soap
Razor: Occam's razor- two-dot head- an easy, close shave
Blade: Feather AC Pro (8)- I'm trying to push these blades more than usual and finding with a little technique adjustments they can still serve.
Brush: Semogue SOC cherry boar- an easy to use boar with lovely soft tips now.
Soap: Mogno bar- nice scent, and great lather today. To help my effort in pushing the blade, I used more product and added lots of water.
Post-shave: cold rinse, Pinaud Clubman AS- didn't really feel any alcohol burn, so it must have been a good shave.
Have a wonderful weekend all!

Razor: Razorock SLOC- excellent milder>range, carefree shave, excellent results using a Kai SS blade. Great daily driver for some.
One of my favorites when I use to travel, hard to nick yourself IMO, easy on the skin.
Blade: Kai SS (4) excellent blade, wider than a standard Gillette blade by .009 thousands of a inch, Sharp & smooth with great longevity. Great blade for milder razors that need a boost.
Soap: Razorock Santa Marie del Fiore- nice mild tobacco and vanilla scent, excellent lather qualities.
I like the soap scent more than the A.S IMO.
Brush: Yaqi Moka 24 mm synthetic- excellent lather creator, heavenly cloud like soft tips+ gentle scrubber + great lather painter.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: Razorock Sant Marie del Fiore aftershave with witch hazel+ a dollop of AVON true gent balm.
Results: 9.5 / 10 or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers =
excellent shave with my RR SLOC razor with a Kai SS DE blade.
Have some great shaves! Stay & think safe in these times, light at the end of the tunnel!

Like @Frozenshades, Captain's Choice Lime was my choice today but since it is Clubman Friday I added Clubman Lime Sec to finish off. Traditions are important right?
Razor Timeless SS .68 SB
Blade Personna Platinum (7 and done) (Israeli Red in UK packaging)
Brush PAA Peregrino
Soap Captain's Choice Lime
Balm Captain's Choice Lime
A/S Clubman Lime Sec
A really nice shave today. Very comfortable but the blade didn't feel like it was cutting as well as it could. I love the smell of lime but I haven't found one with endurance scent wise. The Captains Choice Lime soap and balm were just great. I always get a nice creamy lather with excellent residual slickness that works really well for my multiple pass shaves with buffing. I just ordered the Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime soap, toner and EDT that was released today. I am hoping for a less fleeting scent.
