Pre-Shave: Cold water splash - OPR Bay Rum soap (brushless)
Soap: Cella Red
Brush: Simpson Trafalgar synthetic
Razor: FOCS w/Nobile handle
Blade: Personna Israeli Red (1)
Post-Shave: Cold water splash - Thayers Witch Hazel - Lucky Tiger Face Tonic
AS: Lustray Blue Spice

A very close shave this morning. Missed a spot and sliced a blemish I didn't realize was even there. Took a point off. FOCS is a really good shaver! The Israeli Red works very nicely in it...definitely a good pairing. Will try a Gillette 7 O'clock Super Platinum next...at least...after a few shaves with the Israeli Red. Dialed in the Cella pretty good, worked well. Decided to combine it with a barbershop splash from Pinaud, Lustray Blue Spice.

Happy Shaves, Everyone!

I guess I pair Cella with bay rum. I like it. I also like Cella. I used Proraso yesterday, but this stuff kicks its butt.

Cella goes with everything, in my opinion.

I have stated before after a less then stellar shave that "they all can't be bangers".

Well I am on a heck of a roll. This Shark blade on day 3 has given yet another great shave. I honestly haven't been expecting this run but it sure is a good feeling touching your face and it is BBS.

Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Sharpedge (Russian Yellow) (2)
Brush: Vulfix: VLF-10 Boar & Badger 21mm

Aftershave: Zaharoff Signature splash
EDT: Prada L’Homme

Shave Rating: 9.9/10
Today I Felt Like I Needed to Tie One On!!!
After doing a bit of slicing and dicing on my last few shaves, I decided I would give my face a break. Something gentle to let existing wounds heal over. I spotted my ATT M1 and couldn’t remember my last shave with it. The perfect choice.

The M1 with an efficient blade can give such an exceptional close shave while leaving the surface of your skin feeling entirely unscathed. The perfect post shave feel. It even passed over the slices and healing cuts on my chin without re-opening or aggravating them. The Stirling soap also helped the razor glide over my face like it was Tonya Harding.

The Brush! I have to mention the brush. This half breed Vulfix tends to get ignored when I’m deciding on what brush to use because of its scruffy appearance. If it was walking toward you on the street, you would cross the road. I’m always amazed at how well it performs at both bowl or face lathering, and it’s perfect distribution of lather on my face. I think maybe I’ll stick with it for a few consecutive shaves.

Like I said, this shave feels like I gave my face the day off. I slapped on some Zaharoff AS and two spritzes of Prada L’Homme and I’m going to be the best smelling old guy walking in the park.

It sure looks aggressive, they advertise it is aggressive also. looks like a challenging type of shave for anyone.

Thanks for your comment. I sure heard about this head being aggressive but actually shaving with was a wow! Will try again soon and see if it's my technique fault.
