Semogue Owners Club 2Band | Merkur 1904 w/ Red IP | Proraso Crema Pre E Dopo Barba | Martin de Candre | Nivea Replenishing Post Shave Balm

Good Morning! Turns out I caught a slight cold over the weekend, but it happens. Face lathered today with my SOC 2Band and have to say that I going to truly enjoy this brush. It has a very nice scrubbing feel/backbone to it. I love my Shavemac D-01 3Band and now I love this a lot more than my Semogue 2011 LE Fbadger 1 which has been sold off. I guess that's why they call it the Owners Club! Quite an excellent shave this morning as I look forward to tomorrow morning's as well. Have a great day all!

Superb shave and pic, Balaji! I love the softer feel brushes generally, but the 2011 LE definitely has a lot of scritch, which I quite enjoy when using MWF.

[Optometrist]

I had a great shave today even though I'm a beginner with straights!

What a stunning pic, Bob!!! How many straight shaves do you have under your belt now?

[Optometrist]

Proraso new formula
Rudy Vey Chubby 2 clone
Fatboy w/ Gillette 7 O'clock black (3)
4711

I decided to leave the 7 O'clock blade in my Fatboy to see how many shaves I could pull out of this blade. Shockingly it performed well slicing through the hairs smoothly and leaving me with a near BBS shave. I've switched over to a less aggressive 2 pass shave Fatboy set at 4 WTG and then set at 3 for ATG. Then I set the Fatboy to 1 for the touchups around my jawline. I think this system is leaving my skin less irritated as the AS burns less than when I go for the 3 pass WTG, XTG, ATG.
We'll see how long this blade will last. Have a great Monday Gents!

Wonderful pic, Chris! How do you find the New Proraso? I have it on the way...can't wait!!!

Superb shave and pic, Balaji! I love the softer feel brushes generally, but the 2011 LE definitely has a lot of scritch, which I quite enjoy when using MWF.

Thanks, David! If you ever get another SB and it happens to be this one, this brush does not scritch. I was a bit scared that it was going to be but not even close to the 2011 LE. And oh MWF, that stuff is just excellent! BTW David, have you ever tried SMN?

[barneykiller]

Wonderful pic, Chris! How do you find the New Proraso? I have it on the way...can't wait!!!

I really enjoy it! I thought it would be too minty but it's very lightly scented and the lather is exceptional. I have to say I wasn't expecting much from this soap but it really blew me away in terms of performance.

Balaji, I have never tried SMN. There are very few creams in my collection being a soap lover, and SMN has never really enticed me for that reason.

Sounds promising, Chris....just a few more days!
