January 2018

Shavettes and Jeeves January!

January 26 - Fat Friday!
Razor - 1959 (E4) Gillette Fatboy
Blades - (1)
Soap - Mitchell's Wool Fat
Brush - Wolf Whiskers Custom Silvertip
Post -Alum

It's FAT FRIDAY!! Well, Fatboy Friday but I see others also using the FAT for their soap and I like that idea. Plus I'm kind of a FAT guy, so there you go. Fat guy, Fatboy razor, Fat soap.

I don't have a "fat" blade or brush, so can't keep this theme going which is probably a good thing. I chose the Sharp Star because I need a reliably sharp and smooth blade. The cut from two nights ago is still a bit of an issue so I need to not reopen it if possible. Soaked the Fat and the brush for about 15 minutes and loaded a nice brush of soap. Great lather, slick, protective, and I kept the Fatboy on the cap and made it through two full passes and touch ups without even a scratch. Excellent shave and the alum stayed quiet. That's the way to end a Friday shave.

Back at work tomorrow. My days off have been flexing a bit lately so I just had my weekend on Thursday and Friday. Enjoy your weekend while I have late Monday.

Aaaah.....Just like Father & Son.. the magical of wet shaving family tree.

Sorry this was a late entry. This was my shave this morning, but didn't get it posted until tonight. Also, Country Club For Men finally has his new web page up. Looks spiffy.

 

Woo Hoo! Love it!

 

Where'd you get the Bvlgari Man in Black shave soap?

 

Beautiful set!

 

Fragrance.net has it for $12.99

 

I've been using the Cyril L. Salter Sandalwood shave soap along with PAA Sangre de Drago aftershave as a combo. I found it was so good as a combo that I would make it my regular products with Bvlgari Man in Black. It would still be cool to have the matching soap.

 

Razor: CV Heljestrand w/ Heljestrand blade
Brush: SOC 2012 SE Badger/Boar
Soap: DR Harris Arlington
A/S: Old Spice
Wonderful & unique shave with this razor - definitely different.

Enjoy your shave!

Last night I found 3 vintage Gillette razors in an old box which has travelled with me over the years. It is only proper for me to give them a run out.
A very nice shave indeed. This razor is milder than what I am accustomed to. I had to struggle to avoid applying pressure. However 3 passes and some buffing gave a very smooth shave indeed It will be interesting to see how long this lasts!

Have a great weekend!
