Shiver me timbers.....that was a face freezer of a shave! And a nice one too. So I look good, feel good and smell wonderful. Good for me. Now go enjoy your day folks

 

Excellent shave
I went with Casablanca today because I felt drawn to the Tobacco Rose scent. The lather was easy and plenty, thanks to the Bronze Shadow, and the Futur made two smooth passes. I think, on six, it's the most efficient razor I've used. The Maggard slant is smoother, and more efficient than the 39c, imho. I finished up with the matching splash and my skin feels soft and comfortable. M

Today's shave
Menthol Monday
Hot water wash
Rubberset 49-4 original boar knot
Bombed Sara's Creations lavender, mint, eucalyptus
Gillette old type (25-28)
Ladas (3)
Iced Skin Bracer
Today's shave was nice. The Rubberset took a long time to load, but once it did, it made tons of lather. The ot Gillette got modified somewhere in its long history. It took lots of concentration, feels like it didnt have a cap, like riding the blade. But it left me smooth. Finished with the icced up bracer, cold finish on a cool day.

NOS Joseph Rogers & Son Miniature 4/8th Wedge (Freshly Honed)
Kent Pure Badger
Wickham 1912 Vegetal Soap
Humphreys Witch Hazel

I had My Maiden Shave Today with My Newly Acquired Miniature Joseph Rogers 4/8th Wedge..This is a Detailed Miniature Version of a 7/8th Wedge..Its Hallmarked & Says Cutlers to Her Majesties on the Tang..It has Bone Scale so It Would Probably have been Made around the Mid to Late 1800s..The Attention to Detail is Just Amazing..The Wedge Grind to the Factory Bevel is Pure Industrial Perfection..

I have Never Honed a Wedge before but this One was Straight Forward being NOS with a Factory Bevel..It Took a Killer Edge & it Shaved Very Smoothly & Cut Down 2 Days of Whiskers Quite Easily..The Blade is the Same Length (40 mm) a Rolls Razor SE Hollow Ground Blade which I am Used to Shaving with..So it Shaves Pretty Much like a Hollow Ground SE albeit Requiring more Attention..

I Got this Quite Cheap & its a Good Job Cause I thought it was a Full Size 7/8th in the Sellers Pics..Whit a Darn Numpty Heid..

The Smallest SR in Town..

That's what happens with Meeter, all right. Y'know, with Barrister&Mann not far from me, I could make a trip there before next summer and get that Arctque.

Ohhhh...that would be sweet.

Of course, it occurs to me that he (Will, the owner), moved the operation to New York a while back, so im not sure if there is anything in Boston anymore...but let me know if there is. I would be interested.

 

the move must have been recently...I'll have to research for an update of when he moved.

 

SOTD OCtober 10th


Ericsson Open Comb
Super-Max platinum
Stirling 24mm synthetic
Blades Grim Smolder

Good morning friends! This morning I shaved of a good 4 days of stubble. My wraps of choice today were the Ericsson and Super-Max platinum. This was my first time trying the Super-Max and despite it being a very inexpensive it did a pretty good job. I did notice a tiny bit of tugging on my chin area but that may have been due to 4 days of growth to more down as well, we will see how it performs on my normal 2 days of growth before passing judgement. Other then the slight tugging on my chin the blade was very smooth and after 3 passes it left me smooth and feeling great! Have a great day my friends!

When the Glacial Meeter comes out again next year you should try it because I think it's fantastic.
