First shave in 5 days.

I feel like a neanderthal if I go more than about 30 hours between shaves. Cool looking shave soap, and you can't go far wrong with a 7/8" TI.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

The beautiful spring weather today put me in the mood to enjoy a Cuba Libre drink this evening after the day's actvities are done. Naturally, this brought this Cajun Blade's soap to mind. The smile in this WoolfBlades razor mirrors my mood today.

Absolutely perfect setup! You can't do better than that! Unfortunately, it is warm and balmy here in Maryland. I have those spring-summer scents on the mind.

Thanks! It was a great shave.

I saw that much of the east coast is expected to have record-breaking heat this week. Hope it isn't too brutal in your neck of the woods.

It should be nice here. In summer, when the humidity really rises, high temps are miserable. No need for an expensive sauna.

  • Prep: Shower
  • Brush: West Coast Shaving Synthetic
  • Razor: RazoRock Game Changer .84 closed comb
  • Blade: Personna Platinum Blue (2)
  • Lather: Ariana & Evans Lavender Noir (Ultima) Shave Soap
  • Alum: Stirling Travel Size Alum
  • Serum: Ash Hopper Blueberry Serum

  • Fragrance: Stirling Deton-8 EdT

1st pass WTG 2nd pass XTG. Comfortably close shave, a couple of weepers and my first ever bonafide cut, over by my ear, not too bad though. I got overconfident I guess.

New bowl from Elizabeth Saslaw (Lincoln, VT). It made a HUGE difference to have a larger bowl, my lather was much much higher quality than usual. Wow! I may not ever use that smaller bowl again. I had no idea the bowl could have such an impact on lather quality.
