​

A great Saturday morning shave makes for a good start to the weekend. With a slick base of Route 66 Frozen Margarita, the Cobra just wiped the whiskers away. I decided to chase the baby with a few touch ups and ended with a BBS. F&C Shambala was the perfect end to a great shave. I hope everyone has a great Saturday.

 

Beautiful photo Clint!

 

Thanks Roby! With all of the feedback from everyone that has used the PALs, I just have to add this to my rotation.

Between my SEs, SRs and injectors, I haven't picked up a DE in several weeks now.

Hmmm.....

All aboard!

 

Hello Jim! Are you getting used to that handle?

 

I am adapting just fine. Today's shave was much easier. I think of the handle as a ribbon handle. It is very unusual.

 

Thank you Roby. I hope you have a great Saturday.

 

Great picture and setup Clint.

 

Thank you Amigo.

Saturday Shave

Brush- Semogue 620
Razor- PAL adjustable
Blade- Chinese Schick
Soap- Route 66 Barbershop Hop
Post Care- Crystal Alum
Thayers Witch Hazel
Osage Rub

Wow! What an excellent shave I got with this PAL adjustable! I started on the H setting (which I believe is the lowest?) and went WTG. Tons of reduction, nice audible feedback and zero hesitation. I then relathered and went up 1 setting for my XTG pass. Again it was very smooth. The final ATG is usually where I get some hesitation, especially around my chin. Not so this morning. The PAL just slid right through what whiskers I had left, which weren't many. For a first shave with a razor I'm very impressed. As usual the Route 66 soap performed flawlessly. I'm starting to get the feel for how much water to use with the Semogue and it's getting better and better. Zero feedback from the alum and a double dose of Osage Rub has me prepared for the day. I'm going to go throw some lead through some paper this morning. Have a great day folks!

 

Ben, I'm so happy it worked for you brother and also that you're dialing in the 620. Beautiful photo!

 

Excellent razor.

 

Thank you, Doug! Have a great day!

 

Um . . . the "H" setting is the most aggressive one. Glad it went well for you.

Today's Shave: Saturday August 6, 2016

ATT SE1 w/Jurgen Hempel Microfine 1 Titanium handle
Jeather Artist Club Professional blade (6)
The Grooming Co. synthetic brush
Haslinger Schafmilch shaving soap
Aqua Velva

For today's shave I just grabbed whatever was handy. I'd forgotten how good Haslinger Schafmilch is, requiring no effort to whip up a great lather. The SE1 continues to impress. On shave #6 the Feather Pro blade had smoothed out noticeably but was still plenty sharp for a BBS shave. Continuing my classic theme (yesterday was Old Spice), I finished off with Aqua Velva. It's a classic for a reason.
