November Adjustables

I have decided that for November I will be using my adjustable razors. As it turns out, I have nine. Weekends will be reserved for straights and my Gem Jr. Lather Catcher. The rest of the days will be free for all my adjustables. I haven't settled on a sequence, yet. I will be using menthol soaps/creams on Mondays and Williams on Wednesday. I will start off with my new Musgo Real Soap for the first week.

Here is a picture.


In the stand, left to right:
Parker Variant, Ming Shi, Gillette Slim, Gillette Super 84, Gillette 190 Black Beauty, Schick Adjustable, Bunny V3

I will get three shaves out of most razors.

 

Maybe chronologically.

Gillette 195, Gillette Slim, Gillette Super 84, Gillette 190 Black Beauty, Schick M2 Adjustable, Bunny V3, Parker Variant, Ming Shi, Rockwell 6C

 

OK, here is the line up for November, excluding weekends.
Gillette 195, Gillette Slim, Gillette Super 84, Gillette 190 Black Beauty, Schick M2 Adjustable, Bunny V3, Parker Variant, Rockwell 6C, Ming Shi.

 

That sounds like a great idea! A good way to mix things up and keep life interesting. I will look forward to your regular updates.

I did two passes with the Gillette 195 Fatboy razor and Gillette Silver Blue blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Tuesday's Adjustable Shave 11/07/17

 

That Pall Adjustable is a nice looking razor. For some reason it just did not work out for me. I ended up piffing or trading it, I think.

 

I Like The Pal Adjustable, It's Very Intuitive For Me To Use. I Have Only Had One Bad Shave With It But I Think It Was A Dud Blade. How Do You Like The Schick Adjustable?

 

I get very good shaves from the Schick adjustable. It can be mild to moderately aggressive. I use the higher numbers. Right now I am using it on 7. When I had the Pal, I did not like the raised parts at each end of the blade. I could not get used to it.

 

I prefer electric razors because of my sensitive skin

 

Williams Wednesday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Williams
Jayaruh #220
Bunny, V3
Personna
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Aqua Velva

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Williams Mug Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #220 synthetic brush. I used the NOTSO comb with the Bunny, V3 Adjustable razor by @twhite and Personna blade and found the correct angle right away. Two passes and I was baby bottom smooth. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

It has been a while since I have used this razor, and it performed flawlessly. It was super smooth with no irritation at all.

 

I actually found the wet shaving is easier on my skin than an electric (once you get your technique down). A proper lather creates lubrication between your skin and the blade.

 

Yeah, I tried to use a Norelco triple head razor when I was 22 and in college. I even tried it with the Williams Lectric Shave. It was not kind to my skin. My oldest son uses an electric razor. Whatever gets the job done for you I guess. My skin appreciates my wet shave routine, and I enjoy it, too.
