SOS: May 2018

Stahly/SuperMax BDT. New handle is perfect, in the spirit of the original but on a human scale. And a killer shave as always.

Again, the perfect pairing, razor/blade/ lather for one fantastic shave. With 2 passes, WTG/ATG. Clean ups after each pass, a cold water rinse. Kleenex spotless. Topped w/afta AS. I think `Fantastic ` will do! God Bless to each and every one.

No ,I meant 5. I bought a new one yesterday with some puppies in a tub, so now I have exactly 6. There are 3 puppies taking a bath in the tub. So you can do the math, if you want. You`re interest in my dogs make me feel good, may God always be with you, Bill

 

Tonight's shave was with a razor rarely used. I had a very smooth 2 pass shave, with minor touch-ups, that left me with a DFS. Zero issues, just a well made, and great shaving razor.

Razor- J.A.Henckels 70 1/2. Zwillingswerks. Solingen.
Brush- RazoRock 400. Whipped Dog High Mountain Badger.
Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy scented
Aftershave- Family Dollar "Spice".

 

Thank you...I care a lot about animal welfare issues....protection, stopping cruelty, dogfighting rings, puppy mills, "trophy" hunting, more.

May 27

Razor - 1918 Gillette Old Style
Blade - (1)
Soap - Mitchell's Wool Fat
Brush - Jayaruh #46
Post - Alum

Let's stay aggressive but sane again. How about the 1918 Gillette Old Style? A classic old aggressive beast that nearly made me stop shaving old style after only 5 days with it. That was, of course, over 4 years ago so I had no idea what I was doing back then. The Sharp Star blade is absolutely magnificent. Sharp, smooth, perfect and is to be respected in razors like the Fatip and today's choice of the Gillette. The Fat with the JR46 for the foolproof and quite exceptional lather. Nice!

Two passes, touch ups, even a bit of Gillette sliding on the neck to finish up. The baby is on board with no blood, slightly warm alum and a couple of hot spots but nothing more. Overall a fantastic shave with a feel from the past. Gotta love it.

Have you BBQ'd yet? None of that here. One more long day for the sale and this weekend will be over for me. Then just Tuesday and Wednesday regular hours to get to my two days off. I'm ready.
