Sunday 27th October Vitos Pre Shave Cream Vreto Mystic Woods Shaving Soap Simpsons Duke 1 in Pure Badger TNNSER 3D with a GEM SS PTFE Blade (#5) Thayers Witch Hazel with Cucumber Palmer's Moisturiser Boots Fresh Wood AS 2 passes for a lovely 'Face Feeler' shave. The blade is probably past it best now.....but I am curious as to how long it will last with this razor/blade combination.

Cold Water Rinse Vintage Life's Licorice Shave Soap Jayaruh #340 Badger J.A. Henckels CVS CS SE PSC Caffeinated After Shave Balm My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Vintage Life's Licorice Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #340 Badger Brush. I did two passes and a cleanup with the J.A. Henckels razor with a CVS CS SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with PSC Caffeinated After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed... I used this spacer by riverrun to simulate the angle of a wedge.

If you want bigger pictures, you will have to use an image service like Postimage.org to host the picture and then link to it from the picture icon in the toolbar. If you are using a phone, it is probably different than that. I use a laptop, and I have gotten used to doing it that way. Sometimes I will just use attachment when I am in a hurry. They are small, but that's ok. This one is from attachment. This one is from Postimage.

I've noticed that you have kind of been on a Williams weekday schedule as of late. Nothing wrong with that. I try to reign myself in a bit and not rotate things daily, but I like variety/spontaneity in my shaves. I am planning a 30 day stint of something in the near future, but I haven't decided on the tools of choice yet.

They are small, but that's ok. I've found I can use my phone with postimage just fine. You log into post image and then upload as normal. Grab the forum hotlink from the photo and then come back to TOST and make your post (I'm a poet and didn't even know it) and paste the link. The plus to that is that when on a phone, the forums own picture uploading really only works via the desktop view and then you have the hassle of switching to that and then back again. Using Postimages you can stay in the normal mobile view of the forum and just type the words about your shave and then paste the link from Postimage and you are done and have a nice sized photo.

Sun 27th Oct Jayaruh Syn. No67 Vitos Super Red Alu Hawk Feather Proguard [ 3 ] Tuff Green A/S Lotion Today I took a used Proguard blade in the Hawk. A rather good relaxed Shave with an excellent close all round finish attained with ease. Will try it again in other Razors.
