More hair on your chin than scalp? Time for a shave. I did my head with a razor - but three days ago - the regrowth is surprisingly quick - it is like the Play Doh barber - and currently - you could stick Fuzzy Felt on it - no danger. The healing power of lavender - all good - everything went right - nothing went wrong - not much more to say really - have tremendous shaves - one and all - yours - I.
@Tony'schin - happy anniversary both.
When I first saw this photo I had some kind of a weird memory response...it reminded me of something and I couldn't quite figure it out. I'm a collector of DVD's and Blu-Rays and it was only about ten minutes ago I realised why I had an urge to re-watch one of my favourite sci-fi movies: 2001 A Space Odyssey ...that bottle of 'Sport' whatever brand it is...it's the 'monolith'!Just a pic today:

Thanks Paul, (that's) probably a better way to explain it. Cheers BrianTuesday 28th July SOTD
Soap - Signature Soaps - CoIra
Brush - Simpson Trafalgar T3
Bowl - 3D Printed Bowl @Northam Saint
Razor - Karve SB C Plate
Blade - Astra SP (2)
Post - Quorum Aftershave
The Karve C Plate is so smooth it feels almost benign. No blade feel at all.
I find regrowth is quite a bit faster than with my recently used razors - Timeless 0.68 & Rockwell 6C on plate 4.
I'll use the D plate for my next shave. It is quite a step up in assertiveness in my experience.
@BrianH has said that his soaps are quite thirsty, but to me it seems to have the ability to handle more water than ether soaps, rather than being 'thirsty'.
Rich glossy lather was easily attained thanks to the Simpson T3 and 3D Printed bowl.
Way too much for my shaving needs, the remainder used as a post shave wash. I'm sure my skin will benefit from this procedure.
Finished with Quorum Aftershave, which to my untrained nose, compliments the CoIra soap quite well.

Thanks - I know what you mean about the monolith - remember it well a great movie.When I first saw this photo I had some kind of a weird memory response...it reminded me of something and I couldn't quite figure it out.

I'm not joking...the image really did seem to have a subliminal effect.
It must have something to do with it being a cool monochrome image ...and having Proraso in it!
My point? 'Just a pic' is never 'Just a pic'.
