SHAVE OF THE DAY


Prep: MLSW Sandalwood pre shave butter
Razor: Gillette Redtip
Blade: Gillette Green
Brush: Fine Angel Hair Synthetc
Soap: CK Blue Samhain (sample)
Post: Nivea white balm, TOBS Jermyn Street A/S



Had a decent shave this morning. Not quite BBS but no burning either. The scent of Blue Samhain is interesting, like a sweet pumpkin without being a pumpkin Spice type of scent. It's a nice scent but not what you would expect from having pumpkin in the description. Whipped up a thick lather in the copper lathering bowl and face lathered from there. Pretty happy with the shave. The only downfall (and it's minor) is that this soap seems to suffer from the Proraso syndrome, where it leaves a thick build up around the sink. But since I keep a sponge my the sink and clean it before and after its no big deal. The TOBS is more like a cologne, I just got a whiff of it and only shot 2 sprays in the A.M. which is good with me since I like scent longevity in aftershave products. Hope everyone had a great shave!

 

Being a Jets fan since 1968, it's been painful to watch the organization trying to find the franchise QB for so long. But hey, winning all those Super Bowls is sooo boring. Hohum, another Lombardi for the trophy case. Who am I kidding, I'd love to see a Jets parade down the Canyon of Heros. Ah well, there's always next year!

 

First go with the Canadian SR. Popped in a Kai, backed the handle off a quarter turn and got to it. I'm very impressed! Looks like hell but it shaves smooth, close, and is quite aggressive! It's worth keeping

March Madness & Spring Cleaning!!

March 14

Razor - Steampunked Gillette New LC
Blade - (1)
Soap - Soap Commander Courage
Brush - Wolf Whiskers Custom Silvertip
Post - Alum

Since I'm going up against the Ides razor tomorrow night I decided to take things nice and easy tonight and enjoy the shave. Head shave first, as is normal on a Tuesday, then the regular shave. I grabbed the Gillette New LC, Delta Echo version, loaded a Perma-Sharp blade from St. Pete and the Wolf and Soap Commander for the lather. I realized tonight that I still have my New LC that is in slight need of a refinish. I haven't touched it since getting the Delta Echo one. I may need to see about having it either replated back to original look or find a compainion Delta Echo finish for it. I love the way the New shaves.

Three passes and they were all glorious. No issue at all with the lather other than adding just a touch of water to the brush as I was face lathering. Slick and very protective. The Perma-Sharp is a nice sharp and smooth Russian that I don't give enough love to. So smooth and sharp that I reopened the cut from two nights ago and didn't even feel it. Just saw the blood. That sealed up quickly and I finished with the baby in my arms and extremely mellow and satisfied. One of those shaves that reminds you why we do what we do.

My weekend has ended. I have until tomorrow night to prepare for the Ides of March shave. May the Ides be kind to you and yours.
