SoS: May 1, 2017 - May 7, 2017

Today's shave was with a $10 "Rescue Razor" that looked hopeless. It had a very bad chip, on the toe, that had to be ground to make it usable. It now is a smiling blade, somewhat.
I had a great 2 pass shave, that couldn't have gone smoother. The Surgical Black Arkansas stone made the edge Buttery Smooth. BBS result, without any issues. No Sting at all, from the aftershave.
It's a little rough looking, but It will shave circles around some of the prettier ones.

Razor- C.F.Wolfertz. 13/16th inch. "Allentown" 1862-1873
Brush- B 400, By Tom. Boar Hair knot by Whipped Dog
Soap- Stirling Ozark Mountain

truly awesome Roby! !

Jamie's morning shave.

I am a night shaver but today my youngest daughter Gabby had her 1st Communion so I had to look & smell like a million bucks. last night I used the mega aggressive Pearl Open Comb TTO, so all I needed was a quick cleanup this morning and the Schick Xtreme 3 and Barbosal yellow performed wonderful! The Dutch aftershave Reuzel was used and I am liking it! It feels so slick and has a fresh clean and mellow scent, the perfect pairing with TABAC cologne - I will be using this combo again...

 

Good setup Great looking daughter. Congratulation to her from us.

 

Razor: Gillette Red Tip
Blade:Gillette Sliver Blue (7)
Brush: Shavemac ATG LE The Rowl Silvertip
Soap: Route 66 Sea & Citrus
Aftershave: Booster Iced Lime

Excellent 3 pass shave with a good clean up.

 

SOTD May 6, 2017

Used the @Primotenore randomizer today.


Went with the GEM 1912 today with a shimmed blade. I used two injector blades and glued them together to make the shim. Smooth shave in the end. It felt a bit more aggressive than an unshimmed blade, but still smooth. I enjoyed it. Nice soap and aftershave pairing. The randomizer did a great job today.

Have a great weekend!

 

Thanks Jim!

 

Congratulations and God bless you and your family.

 

The Sunday Shave plan:

prep-Dial 4 Men Bodywash (Sub Zero)in shower
shave-Rise Super Foam
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot + DisposeABLE
A.S.-Rise Cooling Balm

 

A call from a Stirling soap has changed my Sunday plans:

Razorock Plissoft 26 mm Monster
Super Speed + Rapira on day 7
Stirling Barbershop SS
Lubriderm Unscented Moisturizer
Booster Mosswood AS Splash

I haven't used the Barbershop soap in at least six months - would you say it's time? The Barbon cream can wait a few more days. I wish I had the Barbershop's matching aftershave, but unless a Canadian vendor starts to sell it it ain't gonna happen. The Mosswood is still better than good enough for me - it's a Canadian classic!

 

Sunday's Shave


Nivea Men Face Wash
VDH Luxury
Bunny B-400 Badger
Gem 1911 Lather Catcher
CVS SE
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayer's Lemon WH
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS

The VDH Luxury Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Bunny B-400 Badger brush. I did two passes the Gem 1911 Lather Catcher razor and CVS SE blade, and 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 Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

TSS - Gingers Garden; Acqua di Florida tallow
Omega Pro #98 boar, Osaka Suribachi bowl
Sayuri "Small Lily" Simple Razor kamisori
'59 Gillette #195 Fat Boy, Feather Hi-Stainless

Congrats!

 

This Ladas is remarkable. I remember liking this blade before, but this time, it is really impressive. Caties Bubbles soap and after shave are very good. Nice near BBS and comfortable. Have a great weekend friends.
