Guy that brush is special!

 

Monday Shower/Shave



In Shower Prep- Noxzema for face, Old Spice Classic shower gel
Pso-Homemade mint oil
Brush- RazoRock Plissoft
Razor-Gillette Slim on 6
Blade- Derby (1)
Soap- Kiss my Face mint
Thayers Witch Hazel
ASB- Nivea Sensitive
AS- Old Spice Classic

My first try with a Derby blade tonight. Thank you @Redrock for the generous pif. It wasn't bad, BBS above the jawline, DFS below. I do have more irritation especially on my neck but in fairness I did have 2 full days growth. The Kiss my Face lathered wonderfully and I can't say enough great things about the RazoRock Plissoft brush. I'm going to give the Derby another shot tomorrow before making a decision on it. Have a great day folks!

 

Thank you Douglas. I enjoy shaving with all of my vintage Gillette razors.

I guess...

 

Your lighting always makes your gear "pop". Very nice.

 

No snow in a month or so. Just taking its time melting.......freezing temps every night.

 

Thank you! You can't have summer without Jimmy

 

The Barbasol Floating Head.
A razor that tells you how it wants to shave. Or else.

 

Thank you Robert!

 

Thank you Joseph but really nothing special with the lighting. I use an older Fuji Point & shoot and 85% of the pics are taken off the dresser in the bedroom. Off to the left about 8-9 ft is the lighting from the ceiling fan and behind me about 5 ft is the lights from the bathroom.

SOTD

60-yo newbie’s intro to traditional shaving. (Week 46 AC*)

Throughout this month I've focused on two Schick E type razors: a Canadian E and a US E2, while also trying out different blades with each.

Hot Shower
Razor: Canadian Schick E
Blade: NOS Schick Platinum (Holland) (3)
Soap: Nancy Boy Signature
Brush: Rooney 3/3 "Super" Silvertip
TSD Witch Hazel
Myrsol Blue



Three-day growth. Three-pass shave - WTG, XTG, ATG

Another great shave with the Canadian. Hard for me to discern a great deal of difference with the two E types. I may just have to do a same-shave face off - a different razor on opposite face sides during the same shave!

Cheers!
