Catie’s Bubbles LTV today. 20 seconds to load the JB Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I loaded a Vintage Wilkison Light Brigade NEW Chromium in the Black Beauty. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with Country Club Frozen Vetiver aftershave.

Very early morning shave, right out of the shower and too sleepy to grab any other thing that wasn't the Mach 3. Two passes and a few touch ups resulted in a shave that was not the closest ever, but visually perfect and close to BBS. The Valobra stick requires a thorough load on the face and some work with the brush in order to obtain a good amount of lather out of it. It's not difficult to lather by any means and it's quite forgiving with the amount of water, but it does require a bit more of wrist movement than others, just that. The tradeoff is its excellent protection and glide.

Thursday morning shave. Hoping to rally the Cardinals out of their suckage. Between Diamond for the ballpark and Unconditional Surrender, maybe it'll work?

Regardless it was a nice shave. First time using a Kai blade in my Fat Boy. Smooth and drama free.

Still on the Road, Still Enjoying My Mastro Livi RWL34 Razor

Still on the road and still enjoying this Mastro Livi RWL34 very much! I am very happy I have brought with me this straight razor and it is giving me exceptional shaves, smooth and with an impeccable BBS. Three passes of pure satisfaction for an irritation free shave and a super smooth skin. I have simply stropped this RWL34 razor on Mastro Livi travel loom strop - leather side, of course - followed by hand palm stropping and the razor was ready to give the best shave. The Omega Professional 48 shave brush did its usual excellent job in mounting a rich lather from the Negozio Leggero shaving cream. As usual, Pinaud Clubman aftershave delivers both a refreshing and spicy sensation. Great shave!
