ZaZa?

 

Razor: Bunny V3
Blade: Schick Injector (1)
Brush: Mokume-Gane Carbon and Red Copper Silvertip
Soap: RazoRock Don Donato
A/S: RazoRock Don Donato

The Bunny V3 arrived today. when I opened the well packed product I thought it looked pretty cool. Then I remembered that I don't believe I had ever shaved with a Schick type razor or blade.
I found that loading the new blade was very easy, and with just a little wiggle it slipped in just fine. the razor felt very good in my hand and I felt that the balance was well suited to the Bunny V3. I found it was very easy to find the correct angle of attack after only a few strokes. I used the already attached "Notso", and I will use it again then change to the "Mild". I was very happy with my first shave with the Bunny V3. I did find that it rinsed better under running water than just swishing it around in the sink. Right out of the box I got a DFS.

 

Congratulations @Bama Samurai.


Do I still get my discount?

 

No shave today as my wife had surgery this morning. Spending time with the kids and will pick back up tomorrow...

in the meantime I feel like this...

 

That 'travel case' is very cool. Where did you get it?

 

Etsy. It's made using an Altoids tin.

 

Thanks Doug! I see you are on for a great week with the Bunny!

 

TuesdayShower/Shave

Shower- Noxzema facial cleaner, Dr. Bronner's All-One Hemp Peppermint bar soap
Pso- Homemade grapefruit PSO
Brush- RazoRock Plissoft
Razor- Merkur Futur
Blade- Gillette Silver Blue (2)
Soap- Catie's Bubbles Mile High Menthol
Thayers Witch Hazel with grapefruit EO
AS- Aqua Velva

Today I cranked the Futur up to 6 to see what it could do. There was some feedback today but only audible, this baby mows down whiskers with a vengeance. First of all, you can almost fit your entire head in the blade gap, it's huge. Secondly, it's got a decent amount of weight to help the shave. I wish the head was a little thinner, I had to break out the R41 to get under my nose but it was a fantastic shave. Very easy BBS tonight.

Face stretching is almost second nature now and I'm convinced it makes a world of a difference. Have a great day folks!

 

Very cool case!

So far no my nose is still on my face and not even any blood. I will have to select a bigger challenge for MAYhem.

Irritation A- Closeness A- Smoothness A- Sharpness A

Curious to see if I get a Fahrenheit like from @Robyflexx

 

Yes you do Keith, excellent cologne choice!

 

I thought it would get your seal of approval. I smell like I was transported back to a gas station in the 80's while wearing leather.

 

Women still love that cologne on men, 80's or not!

 

How about bad Soviet straight fools passes for MAYhem?

Elite Razor "Amigo" Ironwood Beehive Envy White
Chiseled Face Ghost Town Barber
The One Blade
Gem SSC #6
Witch Hazel, Mystic Water Whipped Shea Butter, Chiseled Face Ghost Town Barber

Today's shave was wonderful. I took my time with the one blade attacking my trouble spots repeatedly. The result was a very close comfortable shave in two passes.

Maiden voyage for my Amigo brush. The Amigo Project was a group effort. @clint64 and @Douglas Carey and myself shared design input with Bob Quinn at Elite Razor. @clint64 installed Envy White Badger knots in all three identical brushes.

Have a Wicked Wednesday everyone.

Another nice shave from a day 12 Derby! The key to blade life is low angle of attack. Tomorrow will be shave thirteen on this blade...that will be a new mark for me on Derby, the plan is finish the month on this one blade. I really appreciate all of the kind thoughts and well wishes today, it means a lot to have your support! Seems like we're getting a bit bored, but alas, MAYhem looms large!!! Worn out after fixing fence line today...other than that...all is quiet in Colorado.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Straights or DE train wreck?

Yikes!

 

MAYhem should relieve any creeping boredom......along with another surprise or two.
