Kerry, the guy doing the video of the Beaverwood shaving soap is the same guy who does the FINE aftershave videos on Youtube("owsome sowce....bah it")
I picked 90 because it's three 30 day rules, and fits with my focus thread format. The 100 shaves advice is the same I've heard, and figure 90 is close enough to know for sure. I have used @gssixgun for honing services on my Ralf Aust, the others don't need it yet, and I won't be buying hones this year.
Razor: Gillette Ball End Tech NDC (declared 1947) Birth Year Brush: Maggard Synthetic 24/57 2016 Mug: Old Spice 1985 Cobalt Blue Cream/Soap: Route 66 Bourbon Jungle Blade: Feather (2) Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Jack Black Balm,Old Spice original Shulton 1973 glass cologne Stopper #3 The Gillette Tech is a great razor, and it is a nice mild razor for me even with a Feather blade. Nice lather from the Bourbon Jungle with the Maggard, to get off to a good start. Very nice two pass shave with some touchup, smooth. The Tech with this great lather will let me chase the baby, but I had to be careful not too go crazy, as I will pay with some burn. Warm water rinse and pat dry. Some WH and after cleanup some JB Balm. Then some Old Spice original Shulton 1973 cologne. This Original Shulton Cologne has a great scent that is a little powdery, and the new stuff can't quit match it. very nice! Y'all have a good one!
Wednesday's shave featuring: TOBS Jermyn St shaving cream, Omega boar brush, King Cobra Classic razor w/Feather Professional blade. Sul Filo del Rasoio aftershave balm.
Razor: Gillette Super Speed Black Tip (X3) 1952 Blade: Wilkinson (4) Brush: Jayaruh JR #45 Walnut Honey Comb Handle. Knot is an Ace 24/70mm Synthetic. Soap: Route 66 Sweeny Todd A/S: Route 66 Sweeny Todd (test) I had some great shaves the last few days working with my shave soaps. I've been busy working on a Tres Amigos project, so my posts and likes have been limited. Also my wife's birthday was yesterday.
So long as the bevel remains intact and the strop work is good, a straight only needs honing once or twice yearly, or that's what I've been told.
y'know, I bought my Cobalt 13 months ago, and since then I've only seen 2 others. I'm just glad to be the owner of one of the last 3
Wednesday Shave Cold water Pso-Homemade mint oil Razor-Gillette Flair Tip SS Blade- Gillette Sharp Edge (2) Brush- RazoRock Plissoft Soap- Kiss My Face Mint Thayers Witch Hazel ASB-Nivea Sensitive Enjoyable shave today. Thanks to the recommendation of @Robyflexx I purchased some Kiss my Face...I love it. The mint has a great scent and it lathered and protected wonderfully. Day 2 of the Gillette Sharp Edge was great, the burning from yesterday must have been because of the soap which is a shame because I really liked it. Only 2 passes today and ended with a DFS.
