Shave of the Day Thread - 2017

[Greenpike]

Wonderful Saturday shave. Mentholated General Ledger is the bomb.

Pre-Shave: SebaMed, cold water
Razor: Razorock Baby Smooth Ti
Blade: Ladas (1)
Brush: Maseto 2-band Finest
Lather: Mike's Orange, Cedarwood, & Black Pepper
Post-Shave: Alum, Stirling Bay Laurel Witch Hazel, Australian Emu Oil​

Great shave with the Ti BabySmooth and remembering @Draco Noir - I hope you are enjoying those cold ones my friend...

The Maseto is still a fantastic bargain at this price point - almost forgot the lather shot and this picture was taken after 3 passes - sensational Mike's lather.

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend

Stirling 'Gentleman' / Chubby 3 / Aristocrat No 15 set + Gillette Silver blade / Fine 'L'Orange Noir + TDH EDT

Stirling take on Green Irish Tweed. Better scent profile than the QCS from Yesterday. Good lather with the big Chubby brush. Three smooth passes with the Aristocrat and a fresh vintage blade. One nick on the chin - this is a sharp combo

Have a great Saturday champs ​

Nice shave this morning with the Puma. The Vie-Long is a great little work horse

A relaxed single pass shave last night with a Bengall, a Boar and a bowl of soap.
It is nice to wake clean shaven.
Enjoy your Sunday.

Mystic Waters 'Irish Traveller' / Thater 4125 / Blackbird OC + Gillette Silver (2) / Fine Fresh Vetiver splash

[url=https://flic.kr/p/CxXeYq]

Early morning paddle then a relaxed Sunday morning shave... Mystic Waters Irish traveller is probably my favourite of the Creed 'Green Irish Tweed' inspired soaps. Luscious lather and a fresh, grassy, green scent. perfect for Spring.

The Blackbird is a great razor - this morning I actually heard the blade "snap" as the handle was tightened up - I think this level of torque on the blade adds to the stiffness of the blade and quality of the shave.

Three careful passes and on with the Fine Fresh Vetiver.

Now for some breakfast ...

Have a great Sunday mates [/url]​

That is the only reason I got it and keep it. The scent profile is, um, well, intergalactic?

You do realise that the:

Aftershave - http://thestraywhisker.com.au/barrister-mann-tonique-aftershave-splash-42/

Are all on special at TSW before the changeover to the new base?

Just in time for Christmas ...
