Saturday's Shave

Nivea Men Face Wash
Col. Conk Lime Shaving Soap
Bunny B-400
Wade & Butcher Spanish Tip 5/8
New Improved
Rockwell Swedish Stainless
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayer's Lemon WH
Florida Water AS

Col. Conk Lime Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Bunny B-400 two-band badger brush. I did one pass with the Wade & Butcher Spanish Tip 5/8 and did a clean up pass with the New Improved with Rockwell SS 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 Florida Water AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Always classy, how do you like the old 150 (is that a vintage knot?)

 

'50 Super Speed with a Schick Plus-Platinum, Strong Set pure bristle brush, Williams with a dab of Clubman cream, topped off with Nivea Sensitive ASB. As near to perfect as I've ever gotten.

Trials and Tribulations

June 2

Razor - 1959 (E4) Gillette Fatboy (6)
Blade - (2)
Soap - Arko
Brush - WCS Synthetic
Post - Alum

Dialed the Fattie up to 6 tonight and whipped up that easy but awesome Arko lather with the West Coast brush. My first impression of the Super-Max Platinum Plus is that it is a nice sharp blade and very smooth. Tonight's shave didn't sway my opinion. In fact, given the performance at 6 I can confirm it's sharpness and, the feel was silky smooth and the alum was quiet. All except for the one bloody spot that I got on my neck while in a G-slide. Apparently I got either the angle wrong at that point or else slid too much sideways at that point. Nothing major. Alum sealed it up fine.

Great shave and I'm looking forward to going wide open with this blade tomorrow night. We'll see if it turns harsh or keeps its smooth feel in aggressive mode.

Given that I was among a number of us designated as "30DCOG" earlier, the following seems somehow appropriate. Hope you have a great weekend!
