Shave of the Week Starting 3 July 2023

Star razor
Gem Stainless blade
Franken brush
Mama Bear's Lime Ice Shave Stick
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Various A/S

Couldn't decide which brush I wanted to use this week so I'll alternate these two. The Franken brush is an "old" VDH badger brush handle with a TGN Silvertip knot. VDH had badger brushes back in the day but they were really bad, the knot sucked but I like the handle so I changed knots and now it's a good one. Just don't use natural brushes that much anymore. Maybe time to change my approach. The other brush is from AP Shave Co and has a cashmere knot. Very nice. The Mama Bear Lime Ice Shave Stick works very well and is frigid! The Star razor is a great one for me, always a smooth/comfortable/effective shave that I like. So my face is happy. Go enjoy your day folks.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning! New soap day with the Wholly Kaw "Hiatus". Great tropical scent with a nice rum kick that gives it a fruity, summery beverage vibe. Excellent lather built with the Badlands Shaving ST badger brush. Two passes (+touch-up) and I finished with Clubman Reserve "Tequila Tease" splash and Perry Ellis "360° Red" EdT. Great frag. Very similar to "Acqua di Gio" and is a more budget-friendly alternative if you're wanting the AdG vibe without the higher price tag.

Hope you have a great day. Smile

Wholly Kaw "Hiatus" Shave Soap / Badlands Shaving "Underground Pool" Badger / Imperium Shaving + RazoRock DE
