BarberDave's Shaveapalooza

[BarberDave]

Awesome set-up as usual Dave, but even better shave! Impressive that the Opuntia booted the 70th out of the top spot! Looking forward to the offerings from The Chambers!

Thanks

Good stuff Dave.

Thanks Chad

Good stuff Dave! Very nice picture as well

Perhaps a SV sourced super-premium at the Chambers? Hmmmmm?

Maybe, Thanks

Wow, yes, a standard journal post at a normal time, a rarity these days, LOL. Another wonderful SV shave today with the Beta 4.3. they have nailed it with this formulary. But, knowing Alessandro, he will not be happy. for a company that produces over 7500 tons of various soaps a year, they still make, not only the customers, but the product feel artisinal in nature.

The Ice Dragon was the star of the show today, so smooth and effortless. Of course the slickery, thin lather did it's job as well for this very nice, very early morning, shave ritual.

3-passes + some cleanup and DSBBS (G) (6) today. The crew of the Nostromo and Sulaco are safe today, LOL.

Set-up:


Have a Great Day Cadre Mio

Three days in a row with SV...if the scents weren't quite as wonderful as they are, I would start questioning you Dave! Love the set-up today, Stella Alpina is absolutely wonderful, one of my favorite scents!

Those 2 can really grab your attention, but for me, there is something about the classic beauty of his Dorco and ATOR that draw me in.

Did Dave just post a normal entry.

Nice stuff

I think he did

Dave, you own and thoroughly enjoy some of the finest looking razors on the planet. Are you still performing maintenance honing after each shave? What I am noticing is that although I hone a little bit every day, I miss putting a bevel on a razor and taking it through the progression. The anticipation of how it is going to turn out and all.

I am still doing the trans ark refresh each day and loving it, now that I am doing honing at the shop for clients, I set bevels through progression all week so I dont miss it on my own

 

[Blade4vor]

Your photography, as usual, Dave, is great! But, your razors....WOW, just WOW!!!! You have some stunning razors!!! From the vintage to the more contemporary, they all look absolutely gorgeous!!!

Does Arizona law allow barbers to use traditional straight razors to shave, or does it require disposable blades?

 

[cmh737]

I’ve been keeping up, Dave. And one day, I may just break down and get a Stark.

This is fact. I love Damascus is almost any form.
