-- Tuesday, April 7--


Prep: Face wash with bath soap and water
Razor: Frankenrazor made with Hallmark top plate, FaTip base plate and Ikon Bulldog handle
Blade: Astra SP (4)
Brush: TGN two band finest in a handle of my own creation
Soap: Mike's Natural Soaps Barbershop
Bowl: Fine blue/white
Post: Thai Crystal deodorant alum stick and Thayers's witch hazel

Image

Result: BBS in 3+ passes. Great shave! Mike's soaps are amazing and Barbershop is one of my favorite Mike's scents. I am not sure I will ever use another brand of shaving soap... Nah, I am just kidding of course, but I feel a binge of Mike's coming on. My TGN brush is excellent. It is very much bulb shaped (more so than others) and is just a pleasure.

Wednesday 4/1 through Wednesday 4/8:

We've been on a one week road trip. My shaves each day have been:

RSC cream
Omega 10051 brush
Razorock Mission razor
Personna stainless blade (Israel)
Barbasol Pacific Rush A/S

This turned out to be a very satisfactory travel kit.
Best regards,

Basil
