The C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #145 synthetic brush. I did two passes the Pal Injectomatic and Ted Pella Injector blade, I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

March Madness & Spring Cleaning!!

March 16

Razor - 1918 Gillette Old Style
Blade - (2)
Soap - Stirling Barbershop
Brush - BoS Omega 10066
Post - Alum

After last night's interesting run with the razor on a stick I went to the closest thing I have that approximates it. The 1918 Gillette Old. Honestly, this razor is aggressive enough it's nearly like going without a guard. This early Gillette was a huge improvement in feel and safety from a straight, but compared to the later Gillettes and a lot of moderns it's a beast. I love it though and it's in great shape. I'm thinking of looking for another one and getting it to Delta Echo for some love, but this one stays original.

Stirling Barbershop for the easy and slick lather. I'm still having fun going through Stirling, Route 66 and Soap Commander trying to convince myself that they are as good as the Fat and Tabac. They're all great soaps, no doubt about it and I love the scent on this one tonight. My wife suggested it smelled like talcum powder when she gave me my after shave kiss and.....well, yes, talcum was one of the ingredients in the old time barbersh0p that gave it that scent. I had to tell her about the big horsehair brush at the end of the haircut.....combination loose hair remover on the neck and talcum powder application. Mmmmmmmm good.

Two passes, WTG and XTG with a bit of Gillette Slide to finish the neck. It's near BBS and I'm perfectly content with that. The Alum was hot. As in HOT. I suspect that's a combination of last night's stunt and tonight's very comfortable and smooth but aggressive shave. As always, the Super Iridium was great as well. The only thing missing - I think I need some Fine Snakebite for a finish on shaves like this. Burn baby burn!

 

To be honest, I'm not sure. I believe it was only a few dollars, something like $5. I had to remove the bottom grooves for the scallops. I really like the way it came out.

I like it too. When are you selling?

 

I'm glad you are enjoying the klar. I am told they also make a rise scent that is absolutely incredible.

Marvelous shave with the Schick Xtreme3 this morning. Spent an extra night at the Florida pan handle on our way to Texas. All the loading really did us in, we needed the rest. Back on the road today. Have a great day friends.

 

The Dude Abides...
Excellent Casablanca shave today. The scent is simply tobacco and rose, but it's strong enough to last all day without projecting too much. It makes me feel classy and confident.
