SOTD 18-24 August 2024

START OF THE WEEK
I just felt like doing a back to back shave, yesterday and today.  This is not normal for me, but I just had the urge.  What surprised me is that I had no blood or irritation.  It was a great, comfortable and enjoyable shave.

Shave of the Week Starting 19 August 2024

Baili BD131 razor
Rainbow Stainless blade
JR#85 Brush
Mama Bear's Lime Ice Shave Stick
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Various A/S

This little razor has a lot of blade feel to me but worked rather well. And while looking through my stash, I found a bunch of Rainbow blades that I had evidently forgotten about. That's a shame since they work well for me. All the other parts liked each other and a very nice shave was had. My face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

A relatively late shave Saturday so I decided to give my face a break yesterday, which set things up for an extra nice shave this morning. Returned to ETHOS Grooming Essentials and Frank's excellent "Bay Rum" shave soap & splash. Great old school bay rum scent with incredible lather built with the Paladin "Falstaff" 2-band badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Gillette Fatboy, and I finished with the matching skin food splash & Hemingway Accoutrements "Nature Isle" EdP.

Hope you have a great day.

The colors, the lighting, that brush....wow!

Thank you!
