thanks for the nice comments!
Head & face shave. 1 day growth.
Technique: WTG / ATG/clean-up.
Prep: Shower. Lucky Tiger Face Wash
Soap: The Los Angeles Shaving Soap Company - "Bespoke #1"
Brush: Semogue 1250
Razor: 1951 Gillette Super Speed "Black Tip" (steel version)
Blade: Astra SP(1)
Post: Quick cold shower, Fine's Snake Bite, 1740 Beard Balm Blackout - Deathwish Coffee Infused
Pay-off: Deathwish Coffee Company - Valhalla Java - Odinforce Blend
I don't usually shave every day, but I was stoked to try out LASSC's Bespoke #1. The only other soap by LASSC I've used is Myrkvior which is heavenly! Bespoke performed just like Myrkvior providing a super easy slick, shiny, dense, and durable lather. I loaded for about 45 seconds, then bowl-lathered. This provided more than enough lather for a 2 1/2 pass head and face shave. I can't describe the scent very well due to it's complexity. It evolved throughout the shave. It was somewhat earthy with a hint of vetiver and a ton of stuff in between. It was quite enjoyable. You should check out the ingredients list for Bespoke #1 as it's pretty impressive.
Back in the day, before I developed an appreciation for wetshaving, I used Super Speed's all the time and abused the hell out of them (left them in the shower, Williams and Colgate mug soap probably packed around the TTO mechanism). I had no technique back then. And certainly no decent products to speak of. Yet, they endured, and so did I. I was always able to get a quick and dirty face shave in the shower courtesy of a hand-me-down Super Speeds. I have developed a genuine appreciation for the vintage Gillettes. My 1951 Black Tip is the steel handle variety. This thing was built to last, and it's flawless function after 64 years is a testament to that. This is not just a nostalgia shave, mind you. Coupled with my old standby Astra SP, this is a real performer.
I started shvitzing, in the steamy shower, so I hopped back in for a quick cold shower followed by Mr. Fine's Snake Bite. I treated the van dyke to 1740 Beard Balm Blackout (the lanolin base) infused with Deathwish Coffee.
Now my wife and I are enjoying a fresh pot of Valhalla Java Odinforce Blend courtesy of Death Wish Coffee Company. This is probably the best dark roast coffee you can buy.
Enjoy your Palm Sunday, friends. And to my fellow Christians, don't forget to reflect on the significance of this day and the coming week.
