AOS Rose Absolute cream, not much left in the tub.

Friday morning - a pleasant but temporary departure from normal.
Gillette Foamy shaving cream
Noxzema twin blade disposable razor
Superior 70 Mentolado aftershave
Very nice experience!

This morning's treat was the AOS Rose Absolute shaving cream.

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

ShaveMac finest brush, Taylor's Peppermint cream (almost running out) and the Schick Proline 30 blade. Monday morning delight!

That's a beauty! I'm - almost- tempted to take the plunge.

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

Been there and done that!
That's a good way to use them up.

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...

Nice lather and menthol cool provided by SnakeBite soap from Fine this morning.

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...

Monday morning with 3 days' beard growth calls for a
beautiful old Rodgers and Sons straight razor with a very sharp edge.
The soap - Tabac
The brush - ShaveMac Finest

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...

Hi cogopa. Welcome to SMF. Hopefully someone might reply with something of interest to you on the subject. However, it's been 7 years since this topic had any discussion.

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.

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...

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...
