I added about 9g of tungsten putty to the Gibbs' handle so that overall weight is about the same as the 15/17, balance still good. Personna 74, TOBS Sandalwood.

Oct. 11,2017 Tuesday Shave

Razor: Gillette SS
Blade: Personna Comfort Coated (4)
Cream: Proraso Green
Brush: VDH Badger
Pre Shave: Homemade
AS: Brut Splash On
Newspaper Date: May 6,1945

Very fine shave with the "Tools" mentioned above. A 2 pass, WTG/ATG,XTG with clean ups in between passes. I`m too old to be changing diapers, I can only rely on memory, I swear my face feels like my baby daughter`s bottom. Some people say my face also looks like it. Oh well, " to each his own", the main thing is the way the shave ended. A happy camper here. God Bless to all.

RECENT SHAVES


Prep: Musgo Real Classic
Razor: Gillette Fat Handle Tech
Blade: Bic
Brush: Fine angel hair synthetic
Soap: Crown King Et Tu
Post: Roman Brio A/S, peach Thayer's WH


This was a bit of a rough shave, still don't have the water ratio down for CK formula. The scent of Et Tu is a Brut scent that is close to the ornginal and smells great, this is one of the best Brut type scents I have come across. Decided to pair it with Roman Brio since they both have a Roman theme, even thou Roman Brio smells more like Clubman than Brut, but it is a great scent and I actually prefer it to Clubman.



Prep: pre shave soap mix
Razor: Gillette Fat Handle Tech
Blade: Bic
Brush: Razorock Plissoft
Soap: Turtleship Pine
Post: B&M Latha Tagia A/S


Turtleship is one excellent artisan. The lather has that shine to it and is very thick. I accidently used too much water when lathering and the soap turned very soft, as a result the lather was extremely concentrated. Was not the closest shave, plus got a nasty nick that alum didn't seem to help with, but was still a nice shave nonetheless.



Prep: pre shave soap mix
Razor: Wilkinson Sword Classic
Blade: Bic
Brush: Maggard 24mm synthetic
Soap: Smitten Soapery Stud Muffin
Post: LT, Fine Santal Absolut A/S


What a wonderful shave this morning. The Smitten Soapery soaps are truly a hidden gem. The lather is super protective and can hold a crazy amount of water. Went for 3 passes today and did the last pass with just the residual slickness. Got a BBS shave and surprisingly no burn from the Fine A/S. My face feels smooth and moisturized, couldn't ask for more from a shave. Hope everyone is doing well and getting great shaves!
