Thursday February Fifth, Twenty Twenty-Six's Shave Of The Day was bad...

PreShave: nothing
Lather Gear: Yaqi 24mm Synth Mountain Lake whipped up TOBS Taylors Cream in a Captain's Choice Copper Aquamarine bowl
Razor&Blade: 1974 Gillette #84 Super Adjustable loaded with Shark SCSS 1 buffing WTG(3)
AfterShave Gear: Omega Alum Stick then Stirling's Deep Blue Sea PSB

so we're blaming the TOBS cream for going bad... this second try we couldn't get the lather to stay or be "wet" and pretty much water was the lather... stubble was left on the whole beard area... and the dry skin helped with creating irritation... the bad cream sample got tossed in the recyclables bin... at least Stirling's PSB got us sniffing good...

Have a Good Day and SOTDs ATGSrs...

@Mark12 Schick Type E is a lovely razor for me, quite aggressive, maybe a little more so than the PAL, but still comfortable - I wish I had a Type F to provide a little extra heft. The Figarose scent is mild and mostly green to my nose but I’d like the rose to be a lot more prominent
