20 January 2018

Cream: Derby Lavender
Brush: Omega S10065 synthetic
Bowl: Dollar Tree salsa
Razor: RazoRock German 37 slant
Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium (10)
Aftershave: Pinaud Secial Reserve

Alas, all good things must come to an end. Although the Polsilver is still yielding great shaves, due to my rigid rotation schedule (self induced insanity to be sure), for tomorrow's shave I'll be switching razor duties over to my Fatip Grande loaded with a Personna red blade. I'm tempted to carefully dry the Polsilver while cleaning up the slant and re-install for the slant's next turn just to see how many more quality shaves I can achieve. But that would throw my blade use chart out of whack. It's already slightly off as I always change blades after 7 shaves. Guess I'll have to put some "if statements" in my spreadsheet to account for the Polsilver's longevity.

 

Unconditional Surrender Saturday
I'm still learning this razor, but today was a little more comfortable than yesterday. I dialed it down a notch and I could still feel the blade much more than in the Futur. I'm going to dial it down again tomorrow and change the blade just in case it was a dud. I can always dial it up again. Even though the razor is heavy, it is so well balanced that it feels nimble.

Chiseled Face Cedar & Spice today. 20 seconds to load the John’s Brushes Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Gillette “7 O’Clock Blue” Super Platinum in the Maggard V2 Open Comb. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with Country Club Southern Oud aftershave.

Great photo Jim! How's that new Pinaud AS treating you?

 

Probak and BIC is a very effective combination. I find angle can be a little tricky with the Probak but it's plenty efficient when carefully attended to. Happy with two passes with the very sharp BIC.

Thank you, Rick!

I like it. Not quite as much whiskey to my nose as I thought it might have. Definitely some tobacco and woodsy scent. There is also a little soapy scent to it.

 

Sunday morning - the 450+ year old shave:

Nivea Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Astra day 7
De Vergulde Hand SS
De Vergulde Hand AS Balm
De Vergulde Hand AS Spray

I'm sure that not too many guys here know that the De Vergulde Hand men's care line has been around for over 450 years - kudos to the company because they sure know what they're doing!

Razor: Personna Flex Head
Blade: Gillette Twistjector (4)
Pre Shave: Homemade
Brush: VDH Badger
Lather: Proraso Green
AS: Aqua Velva/Afta
Newspaper Date: December 9,1943

This 2 pass shave, WTG/ATG with an XTG on the neck and a cold water rinse, out performed itself, so close to perfect, I think it`s touching it. I`m as pleased as 2 or 3 punches. This happy camper is wanting the same for all and God Bless.

An amazingly smooth shave! This is my first time using this soap and I love it! The scent is super awesome and it was so great! The razor and feather blade went so well together. A month ago I was thinking of trading away my feather blades but now I’m rethinking that and will continue to try them with other combos.
