Shaving adventures of a Milkcrate

Shave Count (DE: 442 SE: 9 SR: 563)

Pre Shave-
Strop: Tony Miller Plain Vanilla
Splash and go

Shave-
Razor: Hyashi Diamond SR
Blade: none
Brush: Stirling Boar
Soap: Stirling Triumph 

Post Shave-
Post shave lather
AS: Stirling Triumph 

The Process-
Late morning shave today because I could. Stirling once again got the nod and man, I dig this scent. A 30 second load time whipped up a ton of great lather.

10 laps on cotton and 40 on leather and it was go time. On deck today is the Hyashi Diamond, what a Japanese beauty. It’s all Ken’s fault I bought this razor, but I have no regrets. I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. That was an outstanding shave, three smooth passes delivered a comfortable BBS for the win. I also had plenty of lather for a post shave lather while I cleaned my shave gear.

Wrapped everything up with a quick rinse and pat dry. Followed that up with a splash of the AS and everything was right as rain! Yup ... a great shave indeed and I smell amazing! Life is good!

Love some Triumph and may need to pull mine for tomorrow now that you've influenced me. Every time I see that Japanese razor in your SOTD it's the first thing I notice......... Gorgeous

Shave-
Razor: Hyashi Diamond SR
Blade: none
Brush: Yaqi Sagrada Familia Badger
Soap: AA Bay Rum

Post Shave-
Post shave lather
AS: AA Bay Rum

The Process-
A very nice late morning shave today. I wasn’t sure what the weather would be like today, but it seemed like a good day to put on the eye patch and grab the Bay Rum. A twenty second load time and I had plenty of lather to work with. This brush is starting to loosen up a bit and may end up being a lather beastie.

10 laps on cotton and 40 on leather and it was go time. I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. That was another outstanding shave and I was almost completely BBS after the second pass. The 3rd pass brought everything together. Man that was a great shave. The brush still had enough lather for a post shave too.

Wrapped everything up with a healthy splash of the AS and everything was right as rain! Yup, it’s a great day for Bay Rum. Life is good ... arrrrgh!

Nice shave Tim

Nice shave Tim! I already shaved today, but tomorrow may be a Bay Rum day.

Excellent!

I think Tim has a nefarious side that he secretly indulges with these occasional bay rum shaves...
