SOTD May 2024

Okay , I did a quick basic shave with the bevel razor today since my shoulder is still messsed up ( no complaining though ) , and used one of the shavemac brushes along with Cremo soap..I used a collapsible bowl to whip up the soap. Basic with the grain and across the grain , gave a fine shave , used a cool water wash followed by W.H. and followed by Gillette Cool Wave A.S....

Have a good day to all...

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Late but great shave this afternoon. Returned to the Jikoryen shave stick. I call this the kinder, gentler cousin of the infamous Arko. Same scent though less strong but with the same incredible lather built with the Riva Brushes Manchurian badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Rockwell 6S, and I finished with Brut Oceans after shave splash.

Hope you've had a great day. :)

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Returned to Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements and their excellent "Sacré Bleu" shave soap. Wonderful old school Aqua Velva classic scent with incredible lather built with the Paladin Chief 2-Band Select badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '58 Gillette Super Speed TV Special, and I finished with Aqua Velva "Classic Ice Blue" after shave splash & Davidoff "Cool Water" EdT.

Hope you've had a great day. :)
