Razor: Superspeed

Cream: TOBS Lavender
Brush: Penworks Silvertip

ASB: Gaia Organic ASB
 
So yesterday was my birthday but I was so busy I didn't have any time to enjoy myself. Today is only slightly different. I had a couple hours to myself before I go back to work. And would you know it, I found my shaving nirvana. And is either unattainable or I can Jane it every Monday if I so choose. Depending on how much money I wanna spend.
Ya see, my nirvana is old spice mug soap, Rapira PL, my 72 (birth year) black beauty, and finished with a splash of vintage old spice AS.Click here to view quoted image.

Happy Birthday! Looks and sounds like a great shave! :thumbup1:

Razor: Schick I1 Injector
Blade: Personna PTFE
Brush: GDCarrington custom ACE silvertip badger
Lather: MWF
Post: Pinaud

I didn't have high hopes for this shave since I was getting pasty lather from the ACE and though I've never had any problems with MWF, I thought maybe it was because they were using floppy badgers and not synthetics. Well it looks like my concern was unfounded. This is my third shave using a silvertip badger brush, this time I let gravity do the work of getting rid of the water. It had an unthinkable amount of water I thought. Well it was just what it needed. I had no trouble at all lathering MWF- it was just as easy to lather as ever and there was no pasty lather this time.

This brush is like a cloud and I like that unlike the synthetics no lather runs down my forearm or on the handle since the water retention is so good. Also the heat retention is very good and I predict it will be my winter brush for that reason. Things I don't like: it is floppy (compared to boars and synthetics), it requires more loading time

Shaved September 23

PRE: L'Occitane Cade Oil

KNIFE: Reviewer Prima Solingen 6-8

BRUSH: @ The Druid ES customized in heather mounted 21 mm silvertip

SOAP: Soap Juniper L'Occitane

FOAM: Joint and comfort foam

POST: Floid Blue and emulsion Massimo Dutti

Premiere of this knife that moment I did not hurry and everything that should only have been through the leather and I think it could be better.

For all three passes and some touch on the neck that is where I have not gotten the hurry.

Soap Juniper with its special oil is fabulous getting a very good glide, its aroma makes peculiar to known Juniper.

Excellent Sir! :thumbup1:
 
After 30 consecutive shaving days (my longest streak ever), I had to skip yesterday shave.

Today I played with some of my best regenerative gear. It was a terrific shave!
