Straight razor this morning: Filarmonica Novodur, Jose Monserrat Pou.
The Filarmonica and Colonial General safety razor work together quite well.

Forget to use a straight razor this morning. Used the Snake Bite soap stick with Thater 4376/5 badger brush and the General.

Re: Thoughts on this technique I saw on instagram...
I remember a few years back when almost everyone was understanding that we are/were required to have more than one pass so we can have a bonafide shave. I started going primarily against the grain in one big pass followed by as many touch-ups in as many places as I thought needed attention "wit...

Re: Superior 70 Mentolado after shave
Apparently the current products from Superior 70 (Puerto Rico) are only two kinds, all of which are NOT the same as mine. I bought mine several years ago when a very powerful hurricane hit PR and the old original (non-Bay Rum) stuff wasn't available from the factory, but I did locate about 18 bottle...

Superior 70 Mentolado after shave
Early this month I finished off my 12th consecutive full bottle of my all-time favorite aftershave. The new bottle's currently in use and there are 12 new unopened bottles in the cabinet, waiting patiently to take their turn when the time comes. When I break out a new bottle, I always add 1/3 of a t...

Wednesday - Truefitt & Hill 1850 shaving cream. Smells good and makes a fine and plentiful lather. The General/Kai blade razor always delivers a smooth shave. Friday's shave will be identical, except the brush. Today was the old MadeRite with a Finest update knot, and Friday's brush will be a si...

Monday morning's Razor of the Day is a straight razor - Puma INOX stainless.
It's going to join forces with the hard-to-get Caswell-Massey ROS brush-optional shaving cream.

Re: SOTD April 1 - April 7, 2024
Friday morning's gear was Caswell-Massey ROS shaving cream, yep, another brush-optional. The brush was SynBad synthetic. I used the wet brush to spread the shaving cream. It was a good shave all around.

Tabac took down the 3 day crop of whiskers, the new Kai blade did the cutting, and the Thater did the honors.

This morning I had the pleasure of using my Caswell Massey Almond brush-optional shaving cream. After my shower I scooped out a generous quantity of cream and applied it to my face. Then I picked up one of the Badger brushes and I did not expect a lather. I wet the tips of the brush in water and pro...

Re: Short Caswell Massey Almond SC honeymoon
Looking back 13 years ago --- I was wrong! Things have gone awry in happy CM land, unfortunately. Smells great, that's a positive. Does make a lather that is slick and protective, and lends itself to a very smooth shave, another positive, and then there's this "other thing" -- it seems tha...

Re: Which straight razor did you use today?
Yes, a little rusty. Yesterday I used the Hart Steel razor and had another very enjoyable experience. I've learned something different about using straights, as far as my own face is concerned. The passage of time has made the contour of my chin permanently too rough and rugged for the open blades. ...
