Forgot to post my last shave which was at the start of the month but I won't be abel to shave till have Movember is over! Side note is anywhere I go I look for shaving supplies now, downtown here we have a soap shop that have some creams, in a little store I found little kits that come with soap and a brush or a mustache mug filled with soap. Its crazy how addicted we get to new fun hobbies.

I was that way too looking around in everystore I could think of for shaving supplies. The chase and finding new products is a fun part of getting into wet shaving.

Seriously though, thank you so much...you were very gracious with what you sent me

Well, tonight I decided to clean up my Movember beard after an EPC Encantos and a few glasses of Zacapa 23.

Pre: Hot shower
Cream: Queen Charlotte Iced Key Lime
Brush: Semogue Boar
Razor: 1954 Gillette Super Speed Flare tip with Racer blade

I'm sure I missed some steps, I'm still not sure what's what (let me know if i missed a step with what you included, Hot_Sauce).

I fully expected to cut myself up, but I didn't have one nick. My face feels nice, cool, smooth, and smells great. The shave literally makes you feel like a million bucks, I can't thank you enough Hot_Sauce!

Glad to hear that your first shave was a sucess Tim:) I felt the same way after my first shave. And the good news is that they will only get better as your technique improves:thumbsup:

Back from Arizona

Down there I was doing a minamalist shave

Prep: Hot Shower
Soap: Arko Stick
Brush: Omega 10005
Razor: Gillette Knack
Blade: Astra Superior Platinum
Post: Dickensons witch hazel
Lotion: Some body lotion from a hotel

Got a decent shave. Was nice to try the Gillette Knack out as I've had it for about 6 months now before using it. Nice shaving razor. Maybe a little more aggresive than my Superspeeds.

Prep: Hot shower and washed face with Jack Black face buff
Pre: Jack Black Beard Lube
Brush: basic Badger brush
Shave Cream: Jack Black Supreme Cream
Razor: Merkur 180 long handle
Blade: Shark
Post: Geo F Trumper Sandalwood skinfood
Cologne: L'homme


The Jack Black beard lube is a very nice preshave, definitely reduces the blade skipping when my skin is dry after shower. The Jack Black shave cream is awesome, very very lite scent(personally id prefer more) and the thickness of the lather is awesome (been using both for about 2 weeks now)

Used some shave gear that I've been neglecting

Prep: Hot Shower
Pre: Proraso Pre shave
Brush: Semogue Owners club 2012 LE badger/boar mix
Cream: Tabac
Razor: Lord L6
Blade: Crystal Superior platinum
Post: Disckensons witch hazel with menthol crystals added
Aftershave: Aqua Velva Ice Blue
Lotion: Everyman Jack signature mint
Cologne: Aspen by Coty

Slept in a little and did everything as quickly as I could. 3 pass shave with touch up's. Turned out pretty well. Need to use the Tabac cream a little more. Great cream for the $$.

First shave after a successful NovemBEARD!
(*wife cheers in the background*)

Prep: Hot Shower
Pre: Proraso Pre Menthol Eucalyptus
Brush: Merkur Silvertip Badger
Cream: Proraso Soap Menthol Eucalyptus
Razor: Merkur Vision
Blade: Gillette Blue
Post: Cold water & alum block
Aftershave: Armani Code Balm

Back for my first shave in a month and it feels SO great! I tried one of the Gillette Blues I got from Seamus and was thoroughly impressed! This was only the second type of blade I've tried, just used the Merkur blades that came with my kit up 'til this point. I'm definitely a fan and for my face would choose the Gillette over the Merkur at this point. Just seemed to cut with less effort.

I only have experience with 3 blades so far but the Gilettes are surely my favorite.
