When I walk through a new store or a new location I xheck out the blades for any I haven't tried. Today's blade was one of those finds.

I used Barbasol to eliminate the shaving cream variables. The first pass didn't reduce as much as I'm used to. It made up for that in the second pass. It was not BBS but it was good enough for pizza and a movie night at home. The house brand witch hazel got the job done at a fraction of the national brand price.

Greetings,

A relaxing Sunday morning shave.

I haven't gave my Vie-Long horse hair brush a run out for a while and forgot how much backbone the brush has with the softness of the tips. I find you get the best from them using the "brushing strokes" method when lathering to prevent tangles in the knot.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Arko Cool ASB.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

Exceptionally smooth shave but not as close as the Recurve shave from yesterday- and I think the penultimate shave from this soap.

When I'm reaching for this shaving gel, means I'm not in the mood making lather or even shaving.
2 passes WTG, rinse off and put the matching balm. It was just a chore.

This is a Capoeira show class I attended yesterday afternoon.

Sunday 10th May...

Final day for the Silver Star #3 and I think he's done well. No irritation and just good clean shaves with no noticeable negatives. Using a new birthday razor and a new boar today. The boar is extremely dense and stiff currently and post shave his hair went a bit wild as you can see in the photo - like he's just got out of bed in the morning - but he lathered up really well and is showing very good potential.

The new New is my first Made in USA razor I think and shaved as well as his UK counterpart. Haven't used the Cella Red in ages and thought why not. It's a great value soap. Finished off with OS.

Enjoy your Sunday...
