Looks like "Suicide Squad" to me

 

Happy anniversary Jim!

 

Excellent picture with outstanding Shaving products.

 

Love that razor!

 

Lovely President!

 

Yes she did but I believe those days are over. She is a single parent, works fulltime, no child support so she will have no extra time on her hands for any football games.

I went to two home games and both times got a headache looking down at the home field. Also being down on the field, the crowning is so high midfield that you cant see the sideline benches on the other sideline. Haven't seen a crown that high B4 and guessing to allow proper draining as most rain here is a quick downpour.

 

Thanks Andrew! Have a great weekend.

 

Viva El Presidente'! Muy buen.

 

Great quote Clint! It hits the nailo on the head. "The CH2 is the synthetic brush for badger guys."

 

Awesome Adjustable Arko August!!!!

August 5

Grand Blade Trial


Razor - 1962 (H1) Gillette Slim (6)
Blade - (2)
Soap - Arko
Brush - Vie Long 12601
Post - Alum, Nivea, The Veg

It's Friday to the real world! So for those of you in it I hope it's a fast day to land you on the weekend in great style!

Second shave with the Gillette Stainless today. Slim is at 6 and the horse has been through the lather. First pass WTG was very smooth. A bit more audible today and the reduction was good. Second XTG same story. A bit noisier but very effective. Third ATG and Gillette Slide was a quick finish for a very near BBS. Probably BBS but I'm not in the mood to be quite that generous. One spot on the neck may be just a bit too rough for that but overall a great shave again. The blade performed well without adding irritation. Alum was quiet.

With all of the blade choices out there and all of the fancy coatings and such it's nice to see a simple stainless blade work like this. Reminds you why Gillette owned the industry back in the day. Sometimes the simple things are the best!

Tomorrow we'll open it wide to see if this sharp blade turns too aggressive. New video up on the blog if you're interested. Nothing to write home about, just a bit on Vidyut and the Zorrik blades.

Hope you have a great day!

 

No. It was a pretty wide variety of blades. The Feather was on it's second use.

 

Thanks. They look great and usually are reasonably priced.

 

Nope. I get a few now and then that appear long after you've concluded what a perfect shave you just had. Sneaky little things.

 

Thank you. A few favourites for sure.

 

That sure is a nice razor.

 

Thank you. It's the most badger like of any synthetic I've tried.

 

SOTD - August 5
Pre: Shower and NSS Old Grey Bristle Test Coconut Milk Pre Shave Soap
Razor: ATT SE1
Blade: Feather Pro (6)
Brush: Muhle Silvertip Fibre
Soap: OSP Fougere
Post: TOBS Sandalwood Luxury Aftershave Gel

Sixth shave with the ATT SE1. This razor is becoming my favourite razor. OSP Fougere gave me a protective, cushiony and slick lather and lots of glide. 2 passes and some touch up for a BBS result. Have a great weekend you all.

 

Schick G with Personna Blade, FS Badger Brush, Orange Menthol PSO, Proraso Green, Orange Witch Hazel and Mentholated Avon Black Suede AS Balm. Very nice BBS shave.............
