Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Went back to Phoenix Shaving and their "4711" homage, "11235". I've stated before that this is an excellent dupe with a superb lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Belfour" Sweet Spot Badger brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the Rockwell 6S (plate 5) and I finished with "4711" after shave splash and EdC. Great summer scent!

Hope you have a great day.

Shave of the Week Starting 7 August 2023

Gem razor w/custom handle
Gem Super Stainless blade
Zenith B10 boar brush
Yaqi Artic synthetic brush
Nivea Shave Stick
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Various A/S

Going to be an interesting shave week. Starting to use the Zenith boar that I think is broken in enough to use. Been doing the 3 day frig procedure along with a lot of hand lathers. Worked pretty well today though so don't know that I'll need the Yaqi which I chose as a back up in case the Zenith didn't perform well. The Gem, with the custom handle, worked well, mild and comfortable. I think the change of handle has made the Gem even more mild than it all ready was. And an admission, I turned the Nivea Shave Stick into a puck by grating into a sealable container. I like it better that way. BTW, the custom handle was made for me by Geg aka Gaw9576. But the results today? Pretty good and my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.
