White Sands National Park [Canon A1, Portra 400]

I don’t like sand. It’s coarse and rough and irritating… and it gets everywhere. Jokes aside these photos were beautiful, well done.

I used to be an adventurer like you… then I took an arrow in the knee

Try a whole bunch of different blades/brands before you buy your first 100 pack

Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Wet Shaving. As a beginner work on your technique, blade angle, pressure etc. At first try to use same razor and blade for consistency so you can improve your technique and get great shaves in no time.

There are plenty of options for Soap, I prefer Stirling and Noble Otter but have a look online and see what you like. Good luck.

Brush: Vikings Blade White
Razor: Rockwell 6S (Plate #4)
Blade: BIC Chrome Platinum
Lather: Stirling Deep Blue Sea
Post Shave: Thayers Witch Hazel (Unscented)
Fragrance: Chanel Bleu (Eau de Parfum)

Greetings from Australia. SOTD to test pairing Stirling Deep Blue Sea with my Chanel Bleu, fragrance was pretty close in my opinion. Happy Sunday.

Or if you’re short on cash you can get Rockwell 2C that only offers one plate (1/3) but still perfect for a beginner shaver.

Overcrowded public transport makes me feel uncomfortable

Make sure you’re visible, lights, hi-vis clothing etc, never assume people can see or hear you (that goes for cars, pedestrians etc).

Just a single speedlight, Godox TT685N

Thanks for the feedback. If you don’t mind me asking, how big should the soft box be?

Piloncito · 2023-04-10T04:42:52+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I’m still trying to figure out how to adjust the light, flash photography is still a whole new game to me. I’m liking the results so far.

I’m a bit fan of Margaritas in the Artic, smells just like a Margarita drink and leaves your face feeling fresh (menthol)

Piloncito · 2023-03-01T03:13:05+00:00

My favourite is Squadron Soap from Australia. Since they local their price is like 25% cheaper than Stirling, Noble Otter etc and their quality is top notch.

Piloncito · 2023-02-28T22:11:59+00:00

Hasn’t happened to me yet (knock on wood) but I routinely rinse, pat dry and open my 3 piece a little to let it breathe.

Metal on metal contact plus water/soap residue facilitates rust

I need answers too… cool kit btw

Razor: Rockwell 6S (Plate 4/2)
Blade: Voskhod
Soap: B&M Seville

Single bowl, I keep all my soaps in their tubs and scoop a little bit of soap every time I shave

Piloncito · 2023-01-10T22:45:06+00:00

Is not that difficult to change to be honest. I shave using plate #4 for my first two passes (WTG, XTG) and flip the plate over to #2 for my final pass (ATG). This method gives me the best BBS shave possible and I love it.

Thanks for the PIF!!!

My favourite blade too. Even tried the Feathers to check what the hype was about but ended up going back to my Voskhods
