Twosday May Twenty-Sixth's Shave Of The Day was good...

PreShave: Shaved their Front Lawn
Lather Gear: Yaqi 24mm Synth Mountain Lake whipped VITOS Red in Captain's Choice Copper Aquamarine
Razors&Blades: Shavette loaded with Shark Saloon 1 buffing cheeks & neck then 1974 Gillette Super Adjustable loaded with Wilkinson Sword 1 buffing around the maw and clean-up on neck
AfterShave Gear: Warm Shower with Stirling's Arance Mandarini bath soap

kinda odd... decided we didn't want to do the aftershave step of our shave and just stumbled into the shower after... had light irritation most likely from shaving after being under the sun for a few hours... the dullish edge of the WS gave a weeper on the heiney chin before flipping the 74 Gillette... we're smoof and sniffing good...

Enjoy the Beautiful warm/hot Weather and have Good SOTDs ATGSers...

Hot shower prep with Old Spice Swagger body wash

I did a respectable face lather with the Van der Hagen. I did two lathered passes. I keep hoping that with a little tinkering I can get a close comfortable shave with the Ming Shi. Not today. Two passes and there was too much stubble felt so I brought in the Microtouch for cleanup. I did a third pass and cleanup on the slickness. Aqua Velva sport soothed things down and the liquid titanium reinforced the citrus notes in the Aqua Velva sport.

Not been resting well in the unseasonal heat, rather amazed that years ago I was able to work outside without any problems. Put off Shaving but had an early one today prior to doing to going to Supermarket. Though I had 4days growth it did not present any problems to this Razor/Blade combination. Bonus - shop completed and Home before 7am. Actually cooler outside than in the House that early.
