Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Returned to RazoRock and their excellent "P.160" shave soap. Great traditional Italian almond / marzipan scent with incredible lather scent and incredible lather built with the Simpson "Chubby" 2 Manchurian Badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '57 Gillette Red Tip and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by Epsilon 03 "Amber" aftershave lotion.

Hope you have a great day.

Election Day Shave:

Razor: Gold Dollar 300
          Pearl "The Sleek" SE
Brush: Omega Puro Tasso black badger
Soap:  Spearhead Shaving Seaforth! Fleur de France (in re-used Cella Tub)
A/S:    Whiskey Woods
Bowl:  Fine Accoutrements





A little bit of a change up for me.  I usually don't use badger brushes with tallow soaps but the Fleur de France is very, very soft.  Somewhere between a pure creme and a "croap".  Very easy to dent with a finger press.  So, not difficult to load with a badger.   In my opinion, badgers are still not great for building a lather on your face, so I used the lather bowl soaked in hot water to give me a hot lather shave, at least for the first pass.  I would be interested to hear from others if you share my opinion about badger brushes and face lathering.

Preshave: Hot shower
Soap/Shave cream: Proraso White
Brush: Jequil & Corenveo

Clubman classic and a single edge will always get a "like" from me. I bet that shave felt good.

Soap: Ethos “Tonka Bean”  F Base
