Sunday, April 10, 2022 - Shave of the Day

Prep  ||  Cantu Pre-Shave Scrub

Soap  ||  Hub City Ideal Man
Razor  ||  Mongoose / Schick ProLine P-30 (11)
Post  ||  Witch Hazel
A/S  || Hub City Ideal Man
Growth  ||  73.0 Hours

I just got a sample of Ideal Man delivered today and I am surprised how much I like it. I rarely immediately like something this much, particularly cologne type fragrances.

How's the T3? I'm on the fence about getting one. It kind of seems hard to go wrong for the price.

Razor: Schick I2 Hydro-Magic Injector Razor
Blade: Schick Injector
Brush: Rudy Vey 2022 B & B Contributor Brush
Pre-Shave: Proraso White
Lather: Caswell-Massey Newport
Aftershave: Mennen Skin Bracer
Additional Care:
  Thayers Facial Tonic Witch Hazel Rose Petal
  Imperial Leather Talcum Powder

My goodness what a shiny Schick that is. You have some lovely razors, sir.

W&B Sheffield 6/8
Heirloom Razor Strop co. Old no2 Notovan
Simpson T3
Spearhead Shaving -
Seaforth Heather Soap and Splash

First time with Heather and I am very pleased all around.
What a great soap and scent!
Wow.
With as busy as I have been this last week I just can’t seem put down this awesome brush with all the quick shaves, it has just remained on the sink counter.
The W&B left me smooth as silk.
Hope everyone is getting great shaves!

Same question as above RE the T3. How do you like it?

Pre-shave: PAA The Tube 2.0
Lather: PAA "Cavendish"
Brush: Yaqi 24mm Synthetic
Razor: Occam's Razor O.R.E.N. (2)
Blade: Schick Proline P-30 (3)
Post-shave: Omega Alum Stick and HC&C White Star unscented balm with HC&C "Havana" fragrance drops 



This razor is on loan from Dave in KY, a fellow YouTuber. I sent him a several SEs to test and he sent me this and a Blackland Vector. For as beautiful and elegant as the Vector is, there was just something so interesting about the Occam's that made me try it first. I got a surprisingly mild but efficient shave. I've always thought that it looks like a vegetable peeler which is absolutely true. Because of that, I had it in my head that it was going to be very aggressive. Not so.

This is my first PAA soap. I assumed I would like a pipe tobacco scent and I was absolutely correct. The scent is one of the best pipe tobacco fragrances I have yet tried. The performance was also quite good, even if it's the CK-1 base.

I ended up with a BBS- shave. I'll say 9.5/10 with points deducted for me being extra careful because I was waiting to be bitten at any second. Here's hoping that you are having a great week!

Thank you, sir!  By the way, I have been enjoying your videos.

Being 30mm it takes a minute to get a handle on it. But once that happens it makes a wonderful lather in a split second and is a great painter as well. Passthru is terrific. I've grown to appreciate this one.
