BarberDave's Shaveapalooza

[Quijote]

My use of the salve is slightly different. I do my cold water rinse, get about a penny sized amount and rub it in all over. Then I clean up my bowl, brush, and razor (stropping if it is a straight). Once they are all put away, the salve has absorbed into my skin and I just slap on my splash.

Great reads, Dave! Now that you've really gotten good with your honing regime, perhaps you should do what CBL mentioned and try a razor with the Shaptons, then finish with the Ark. Might be interesting.

Thanks Chris, I may have to experiment indeed.

Rubberset 400-4 / TGN Finest
DRH Arlington Shave Soap, Aftershave Splash, Cologne



A late afternoon shave today, as I was muddling around the yard today putting up Solar lights, trimming mesquite and generally trying to light myself on fire by being out in the hot sun all morning. Yes I am that stoopid.

A nice cool shower, and nothing else would have been as refreshing as the DRH Arlington. The ATOR jumped front and center and Senor Rubberset wanted in on the party as well.

Pretty quick and easy today. 3-passes and DSBBS for the day. A splash of the DRH splash and dotties galor on the Cologne.

A fantastic shave all around

Set up:



Have a Great evening Gents!

no, I think that means he was playing with them. Marco-Polo in the kiddie pool probably.

Back to the shop today, so a nice early morning shave. A fresh blade in the dx, and one of my favorite set-up, as I tour around shelf #3. Nothing negative can be said about any of the software in today's shave. It just works.

3-passes today and DSBBS (g)(8) thanks to the pro-guards and a fantasic, slick lather. Finished up with a healthy splash of Fine Platinum, followed by a couple of Vasilli's of Aventus. Perfection in a shave!

Set-up:



Have a Fantastic day everyone.

 

[dkeester]

Sounds like a fabulous shave.

ROFL Thanks Walt, I cut myself back to 3-days at the shop to spend more time at home + with School starting soon, I wanted to spend time around the ranch, and boy I thought I was doing myself a favor. To find out that there are a ton of projects and lists I need to do. I may become a broker again just to get some rest, LOL. At least now it is all for fun...... Well, and to please the boss hehe

Good job with the greyscale, it really covers the absolute ugliness that are the stock DX scales! Lol.

How do you like Fine Plat? I’ve only experienced CC Venture and I really like it. It’s turned me onto the Aventus trail heavily! They are finishing the product line during the summer months with soaps and whatnot, but I’ve come to find out that Fine Plat is a favorite of many. I’m torn a bit.

 

[Dagwoodz]

A fine set-up, a fine shave, and to top it off with Aventus...you said it, "perfect".
