Re: SOTD June 12 - June 18, 2023
Circumstances worked out that today was a 3 day beard, and thanks to AOS Sandalwood cream, General razor and Kai blade, the shave is great.

It's good to be back home today, and back to my usual shaving gear as noted below.
AOS Sandalwood cream is my choice of the week.

Re: Shaving soap or cream of the day
On Wednesday I was away from home so I used Cremo brushless with menthol for the first time ever. Excellent brushless shaving cream. I'm glad I finally decided to buy it.

Free AOS tallow shaving
This is a duplicate post. Yesterday's soap was a trip back to the old school shaving soap - i.e.: AOS tallow based sandalwood soap. Too bad the smell of this soap is powerfully repulsive to me, and whenever I decide to use it I am amazed at the excellent performance of the lather. I suppose that's w...

Re: DR Harris shaving soaps
Now that such iconic shaving soaps as Mitchell's Wool Fat and Tabac have kicked the tallow habit, I first wondered why. Why? What happened to cause such an unusually coincidentally timed event? Whose official business would dictate such an urgent mandate? All of this makes me wonder how "they&q...

SOTD - May 29 - June 4, 2023
This beautiful morning in May started the week with a close and smooth brushless shave cream - Caswell Massey ROS. Some guys aren't averse to using brushless creams whenever the mood strikes. For me, the quality of the shave matters more than the consistency of the preparation I use to prepare the w...

That's all I know. This was announced a couple of days ago on one of the more active shaving forums.

This week started out with another new shaving cream I've been interested in using - Caswell Massey ROS (rose) brushless. I didn't use much cream as I applied it with my fingertips, and the 3 day Monday morning routine beard was easily removed with the General razor and Schick Proline blade. The ros...

Re: Frivolous ADA Lawsuits
Really good news, but one minor detail, with prejudice means the case can not be re-filed. Without prejudice means it can be. (I hope that was just a scrivenor's error.)

Re: SOTD May 8 - 14, 2023
Friday's shave features a new (to me) soap - Asylum Levante from BullGoose. Nice hard shaving soap, easy to lather which didn't dissipate and the fragrance is pleasant. The residual slickness that comes with a splash of water following the first pass was well done. The shave was up to my expectation...

Re: Shaving soap or cream of the day
Kudos to Asylum Flying Mango shave soap. This lather is a super-performer. Incidentally, it fits perfectly in my Mitchell's Wool Fat ceramic bowl. I regret not using this soap much earlier.

I miss Clive's participation here at SMF. His last post was July of last year.
