Anniversary Shave (34)

Congratulations!

 

[Gargravarr]

Pre-shave: Hot water
Brush: Yaqi Rainbow 26mm Pony
Soap: Stirling Bergamot Lavender
Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Feather Pro Super (7), Schick Proline
Post-shave: Shower, Stirling Bergamot Lavender EDT'

First pass with the Feather Pro Super was cruel and unusual punishment. I had put yesterday's SAS down to the fact that I was in a hurry, but obviously not. Switched to a Proline a day earlier than planned, and got an easy and smooth BBS. None of the blade feel of the Pro Super, but plenty smooth, while still being efficient.

Congratulations!

Thanks @Holiday

Pre-shave: Hot Shower
Brush: Yaqi - Mountain Lake 24mm Arctic knot
Soap: Mike's Natural Soaps - Barber shop
Razor: Feather AC - Folding SS Scotch wood
Blade: Schick Proline (4)
Post-shave: Thayers Witchhazel / Essano Man Moisturiser

2 pass WTG, ATG + touchups BBS. Nice Shave. Been a while since I used Mike's and although the scent is mild the lather is exceptional, probably too exceptional for a straight shave. Face lather produced thick whipped cream DE style.

Pre-shave: Hot water
Brush: Forgotten Art "Tarkine" 26mm Tuxedo
Soap: Noble Otter Two Kings
Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Schick Proline (2)
Post-shave: Shower

Perfect smooth and easy BBS. I think the Proline might be a better blade for me than the Feather Pro. Smoother and for some reason more efficient, though I don't know why. The prize goes to the Pro Super though, which has a lot of the blade feel of a straight. I think I'll just have to accept I'll never get as many shaves out of any of these blades as others do, given that I'm covering both face and dome daily.

Thanks Mark.
And where do the years go? They seem to be going faster and I have to do the maths as I keeping forgetting how many years it's been. So..2021 is a big one for you guys.
