My first Shave in 2025 consisted of...
Prep Hot shower.
Towel Blackland shaving Towel.
Brush Semogue Pegasus Mistura.
Soap Zingari man The Watchman.
Razors Osprey and Sabre.
Blade Gem (1).
Aftershave St johns bay rum Cooooorrr.

An excellent shave today, it's been 3 days since my last shave due to work and as you know you get great shaves if it's been left a while.
The Sabre did a great job with the palm stropped Gem and it was plenty sharp enough to take down the stubble with ease.
I used my Osprey to shave my head with because again it had grown a fair bit, and I wanted to see if the Osprey was up to the task.
I don't know why I doubted it because it was a dream to use and it didn't struggle in the slightest.

Happy new year everyone and may 2025 bring you lots of laughter and smiles.
I will pour myself a super large whisky and raise it to each and every one of you.

Cheers.

A poor last shave of 2024, here’s to better shaves everyday in 2025

Because of the soap, or the greedy g7 that ate all the lather?

Because of the soap, or the greedy g7 that ate all the lather?

The g7? Are you referring to the knot? It’s a G5C from AP and that wasn’t the problem: I’m finding the shaves rough and I suspect it’s my skin as I’m feeling under the weather.

 

[Johnny Bravo]

My Shave today consisted of...
Prep Hot shower.
Blackland Shaving Towel.
Brush Highlander synthetic Tuxedo.
Soap Palmolive shaving stick.
Razor No idea.
Blade Gem (2).
Aftershave Yardley Black Label.

My second shave in Gem week and I have no idea what the little razor is.
It says Gem on the inside and don't know if it's telling me what blade to use or it's a razor made by Gem.
It gave a good shave simple and effective.
Have a lovely day ahead everyone.

Recently bought this brush from @Levi . It sure has the biggest knot in my collection and it is very dense. Tips are smooth. And it pairs great with my brass Karve razors, I like it very much!
