Pre-shave:
American Crew oil
Shaving Soap / Cream: Antiga Barbearia de Bairro
After Shave : TFS Rabarbero Italiano
Eau de Toilette: Lemon & Gincer 4711

Shaving Brush: Shavemac 28 mm Fan Silvertip 2 band
Safety Razor: Parker 55SL-RG semi slant
Razor Blade: Gillette Rubie Platinum Plus.

The second shave with the Parker leaves me in despair. :confused

First I said that my illness has flared up, so the skin always feels burned red.

But it seems to me that the Parker is more efficient than the Merkur 37 and 39 C and a bit less comfortable to shave.

  • Polsilver super iridium
  • Shavemac 28mm silvertip
  • The Sudsy Soapery - Frosted Lemon
I’ve found the ultimate summersoap, this frosted lemon is smelling super fresh and has a medium cooling effect. It reminds me of the Queen Charlotte - Iced key lime, but this Frosted one has a lot more “freshness”.
The lv3 is a maniak and so am I.

If it reminds you of the Queen Charlotte Iced Key Lime then it's a real top shavingsoap Jaco.

AP Shave Co Synbad 30 mm
Mama Bears - Cabin in the Woods

Gillette Silver Blue (1)
Humprey’s Witch Hazel Astringent
Castle Forbes Cedarwood & Sandalwood ASB

First use of the Mama Bears soap and I am suprised! The scent is realy nice. I would decribe it as a Woody Lavender. The gliding properties are excellent. I matched it up with the most woody/lumber scent I have: CF Cedarwood and Sandalwood. A shave I realy enjoyed!

Setup:



M-keramiek shaving bowl

Semogue LE 2 band

Joseph Rodgers 6/8

Sample Scheermonink S1

Floid Vigorosso

Prep asb



I did a 3 pass shave it went well only with the against the grain stroke underneath my chin little difficulty (is my toughest part to get clean is also the part i judge my edges by) there it could be a little sharper.



Will try the same honing progression next but will exclude the Jnat midrange stone and see how the edge will bet hen.
