Nice shave Chris! Love that scent too. Been snowing a bunch here so got back into the winter theme for my shave. MacDuffs Christmas Cabin w/ Rockwell synthetic. Rockwell 2C @ 3 w/ My-Blades silver. Finished with unscented Thayers witch hazel. Have a good one!
Nice shave Chris! Can't go wrong with some Aqua Velva! Sounds like having your own van will be your best option for the job 👍 I hope everything went smoothly 😎 We fixed the water (sort of lol) here, so I was able to have a proper shave: Stirling SS razor with the Hyper Aggressive plate with a RK Chromium Coated blade, Stirling Boar brush, and Stirling Intrepid Man soap, splash, and balm. Have a good one! Steve
Cheers Steve. Only time will tell with the van🤞Glad you got your water sorted brother. Intrepid Man, excellent choice 👌 Love RK blade's. You have some awesome setups. Hope you're having a great week so far. Take it easy. Stay smooth and stay safe 👍
Great shave. My SOTD tomorrow will be of the Rockwell 6C with the Gillette Silver Blue blade on its first use, B&M Lavender soap/splash duo, Maggards B&W synthetic brush, and the Nivea Post Shave Balm. The Elios blade from last shave did well as it was sharp and smooth for me. With that, I’m done with blade tryouts for now and I’ll be back to using my normal favorites. I actually got a few more blades to try out, but I just want to take a break from blade tryouts for a while. Have a good one!
Thanks Kevin. I appreciate it as always brother. Haven't use the Silver Blue for a while and I was o lying thinking about the Elios blade's the other day. Sounds like a very decent shave there. Have a great week. Stay smooth and stay safe 👍
Hi Chris hope your well that was a cracking shave all worked superbly well.no shave today hopefully this evening or tmoro when a get some time to myself then will let you know.enjoy the rest of your day and your week also take care of yourself 🙂👍🏻
Hi John. You luck man, I've seen the brush and it's awesome. Goes hand in hand with the Blood Oath brush. Enjoy your spoils buddy. Have a great week. Stay smooth and stay safe 👍
Nice Sunday shave! I just wish the Aqua Velva 5-in-1 hadn't been discontinued. And now I read that my favorite non-artisan shaving cream, Gillette Pure, has been discontinued. But I got out front on that one and ordered 3 tubes.
Thanks Bart. I know it's such a shame, it's a great balm. I've never tried Gillette Pure, is it still available at the moment. It's always wise to buy multiple of products. You never know when they are going to be discontinued. Have a great week. Stay smooth and stay safe 👍
Many thanks Marc. I appreciate it brother. It's getting hard to come by everywhere now it's been discontinued. It's such a shame, it's a great balm. Have a great week. Stay smooth and stay safe 👍
Good shave! My SOTD for Palm Sunday blessing of the pussy willow (not that religious, but due to a loss in the family a must this year) was soap+splash PAA Copalli (due the fact that copal is like incense), brush was a trusty but noname-brand badger knot and as razor my Yaqi Excalibur head with a thick heavy Maggards handle. Blade was first time use of a Feather Pro-Guard, which is in comparison to the Kai Protouch (also an AC blade with guard) a bit more... feather-like, the Kai is even more forgiving to the skin. But still, the SOTD was good and efficient.
Many thanks Wolfgangn, much appreciated. Sorry to hear of your loss my friend. My condolences 🙏 The Copalli is a great scent. I'm so glad your shave went we for the occasion. Haven't tried those blade's they sound OK. Have a blessed week. Stay smooth and stay safe 👍
Hello my friend. And greetings from the UK. Barb's is a great budget soap. Great Barbershop scent, good cushion and glide. I love it. Have a great week. Stay smooth and stay safe 👍
You work at weekends?? A little tip for you. Go into the cleaning industry. Monday to Fridays, and with shit hot pay . 👍👍 A little tip with your shaving ,,,, avoid the bullshit of the third pass and pickups. Enjoy what is the ultimate definition of a close shave , to take the bristles back to the level of the skin , and not below it . Two passes wins the day . Three passes which takes the bristles below skin level is bad shaving practice.. do you agree??
