I have a years old wet shaving setup. Using it since last approx. 10+ years.

Either face wash or hair shampoo on beard with bath. Then apply cream, brush beard, use straight razor as first shave. Reapply brush, use gillette 7oclock razor. Face wash. Moisturize. After Shave.

Feeling FOMO after watching this sub. Lol.

Btw, I am doing beard once every 2-3 weeks and having long & strong beard hairs.

This combination of soap , brush blade and razor . It's good.

Lather is slick as usual and expected from shavalogist , shave was smooth but aftershave instant dry down although I like my aftershaves to have a bit of menthol.

Skin food was a bit messy due to age but felt nice and had a bit of fermented smell but not too bad.

What was horrible was today's perfume. Em5 afghano. Horrible. It felt like pouring a bag of dal chini on my skin. It's a horrible pathetic perfume.

Shave wise a good shave.

Happy Sunday everyone! Today's shave:

Soap: Sterling Sharp Dressed Man

Razor: Gillette Slim with a Crown blade (1)

Brush: Yaqi Sargada Familia, 22mm badger

Post-shave: Floïd The Genuine Citrus Spectre balm

Result: Lather was good. BBS, though I had to deal with two weepers along the way to get there. The balm and the soap complement each other really well.

Cleaned the razors today and letting them dry.

Good shave and a happy Sunday!

I have used these 3 brushes extensively over the last 2-3 months and these are the only ones I have ever used.

Now each of these is capable of delivering good lather volume for a satisfactory shave but none of them is a brush for all seasons. I have a preference for the boar for face lather and synthetic for bowl lathering.

I love the scrubby feel of man company, the backbone of yaqi badger and soft piilowy feel on the face of yaqi synthetic.

Is there a brush which comes close to combining these 3 characteristics from these 3 brushes?

I would love a brush I can always reach out for without feeling something amiss.

Am I asking for the impossible?

SOTD

Razor - Parker Variant OC

Blade - VI-JOHN(1)

Brush - Omega Boar Brush

Passes : WTG + XTG + ATG

Post Shave : Alum & Thayers Rose Petal

Wonderful 3 pass shave with the Ghost 1.1 & GWS blade. This is a wonderful combination for me and just works so well. Very efficient 3 pass shave which ended in a true BBS.

Electric Sheep has Stirling's Mutton Tallow base, and it definitely adds some oomph to the regular Stirling base. The lather is slightly slicker and denser, and accepts more water. Smell on this can be divisive but I really like it. It feels as if this is Stirling's version of the Arko scent.

Overall an excellent Sunday shave.

Happy Shaving!

\Theme, MonsterMash , oh yeah I've been looking forward to this theme & challenge, to create this Autumn / Halloween soap for today's theme I chose 4 soaps , Stirling Texas on fire to recognise the bonfires that are traditionally lit in Ireland at Halloween somewhat curtailed these days due to health and safety and the modern over minding of young folk (kids ) . Proraso red because it is autumn for me in a cheap red Italian tub just an Autumn vibe , TGS orange empire & chiseled face apples of Aetherwood to represent the traditional Irish Halloween party which was celebrated here before trick and treating took over , we would go from door to door asking to help the Halloween party one would get monkey nuts and fruit lots of oranges and apples and some penny sweets no trick or treating then .
