a quality shave with 'It's just Cake', in both performance, and scent... thankfully, my wife enjoys baking cake, so that's an added bonus..... although, I've gained 5lbs since shaving with this soap... ;-)

Saturday

Pre shave: Prep
Razor: Barbaros TR-1
Blade: Timor
Brush: 'El Monstruo' (Romera Manchurian 30/50 Fan)
Soap: Wholly Kaw 'Cuero Oscuro'
Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / Wholly Kaw 'Cuero Oscuro' Aftershave Toner
Fragrance: Tom Ford 'Tuscan Leather'

the TR-1/Timor combo turned in a very underwhelming performance... I wonder whether the Timor is a just a 'one shave' blade...whatever the reason, the end result is BBS, even though it wasn't a pleasant experience, and finished off with Tuscan Leather, so it's not all bad, eh?

Local Gent Field and Stream soap, Rainbow synthetic brush, C.F. Wolfertz & Co vintage straight out of Allentown, Pa., Proraso eucalyptus and menthol aftershave.

25 laps on leather, both sides, two passes on the face, one seeper only, nice clean shave to start the weekend.

Razor: Merkur 34C
Blade: Gillette Nacet
Brush: Maseto 2-band Finest Badger 30mm
Soap: Stirling Executive Man
Post: Fine Platinum AS & Stirling Executive Man balm


Got my first badger brush and I am very satisfied with it. A big and dense knot, good backbone and lovely face feel. Plus it was cheap. Great shave all-around, from the razor, through soap to splash and balm...
