    • Prep: hot shower
    • Brush: Yaqi Cashmere Synthetic Shaving Brush, Dandelion Green Handle, 24mm
    • Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable H3 (1962, 3rd quarter)
    • Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (2)
    • Lather: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag - Shaving Soap
    • Post Shave: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag - Aftershave Balm

    Same exact setup as last shave, but my lather was subpar (a little foamy), so I wanted to try it again. I followed the suggestion from @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social and added water more slowly this time. That seemed to have solved it, thank you fellow shaver!

    • Brush: Brad Sears Arley 26mm Super Badger

    • Razor: Dovo Bismarck 6/8" Full Hollow Round Point

    • Lather: Noble Otter - Ace - Soap

    • Post Shave: Noble Otter - Ace - Aftershave

    • Post Shave: Thayers - Lemon - Toner

    • Talc: Yardley Classic

    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


    This was my first time using Ace. Wonderful scent. Leather and tobacco is what I get but there’s a woody aspect to it as well. Perfect for this time of year. This one’s a keeper.

      I only do 2 pass shaves. Same for you, or was today an exception?

        Yes, I normally do 2-pass shaves. Because I’m a daily shaver, I can get away with my first pass as WTG-XTG and my second pass as XTG-ATG and get almost as close a shave as a more traditional 3-pass shave.

          My 2 pass consists of a WTG followed by a mostly XTG (with slightly ATG in a couple spots). But I mostly only shave every other day. I have pretty sensitive skin and it really doesn’t like any more than that.

    • Razor: Merkur 37C
    • Blade: Nacet
    • Lather: Barrister and Mann Seville (Omnibus)
    • Aftershave: Barrister and Mann Seville

    Dropping the regularly scheduled Fougère Friday for a Welcome-Back-u/MadDingersYo shave! Yes, he’s back, and this is as close an homage to his come-back shave as my den permits. Welcome back Dingers 🍻

    Seville is good stuff, I just don’t think of using it that often.
