Monday

Prep: Hot Shower-Stirling Scots Pine Bath Soap
Soap: Godrej Lime Fresh
Razor: Gillette Slim [6]
Blade: Viking’s Sword (3)
Brush: oscar11 TGN 2-Band Finest 24mmx50mm
Aftershave: Captain’s Choice Lime

WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)

The Godrej Lime Fresh is an excellent cream. It is easy to lather and I like the lime scent. The Slim and Viking’s Sword did their job again. Great smooth, close, and nick free shave.
I finished up with my sample of Captain’s Choice Lime! This is my 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] sample bottle, I really need to order a full bottle.

GRIM BLADES | SMOLDER | HOLY BLACK

Click here to view quoted image.

Used a straight today for the first time in a looong time!! I won this razor in a Fathers day photo contest with my son. It is a beautiful razor and probably 13/16. After my 3 pass shave this morning I think I will be using this razor regularly. I really want to get better with my straight and eventually tackle honing and all that other stuff. Part of the prize was also the 'SMOLDER' shave soap which is made by the same people who make Maggard's soaps. It smells amazing....my wife loved its scent. And it performs extremely well....I am very impressed by it. All in a ll a great shave. Not BBS but pretty comfortable for me.​

* Scott, beautiful scales on that razor!
