10 March 2018

Yesterday I was considering riding the Polsilver until it no longer performed. Well today during its 7th performance I nicked a spot on my chin. I will now, unfairly, blame the blade and change over to a Nacet for tomorrow's shave. Still got a DFS out of it and in all honesty the nick was my fault, not the blade. Hadn't drawn blood in ages. Got a tad careless this AM.

Razor: RR Hawk
Blade: Kia Titan Mild (2)
Preshave: Homemade
Brush: VDH Badger
Lather: Proraso Green
AS: Aqua Velva/Afta
Newspaper Date: Jan. 6,1945

Very Fine 2 passes, WTG/ATG with clean ups. The "Hawk" is smooth, clean and close. One little owie right on top of my `Adam`s apple`, cold water took care of that. All in all, almost as good as my floating head razor. I enjoy living with BBS shaves. I`m a Happy Camper enjoying the heck out of growing `Old`. People open doors for me, reach up to the top shelf for the Wheaties and a lot more signs of respect, just a little peek ahead for you. Makes all those little off and on pains seem insignificant. Love you all and God bless. Happy shaving, have a nice weekend.

Bill

Probak and Cooper Monobilt for beard and head shave respectively. I had planned on using the Probak/Wilkinson all the way but the Wilkinson felt tired. Popped the blade in the Monobilt just to compare but it was done. Fresh Bic in the Monobilt felt great. I'll be sorry when the Coates runs out.

Today I used two products I received from @Sparrow, TOBS Cedarwood and 7 o'clock black blade. The TOBS performed great with a thick and rich lather, while the blade worked fine. Two passes with a little touch up for a very smooth BBS shave.

 

Thanks Steve.

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend.

 

I'm guessing you already gave one of your well thought out & finely crafted reviews for the products pictured. So how's about some poetry from a Vogon?

 

Red Tip head shave. 40s style face shave. Have a great weekend!

 

For Sunday's Shave:

prep-Dial 4 Men Bodywash(Odor Armor)in shower
shave-Barbasol Original
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE

Thanks for the imput Steve! The PAA Slant does look like a nice design. Should have grabbed one since I'm waiting on a order from them (Sangre DE Drago deodorant, and Porthos shampoo bar).

Have noticed you use the PAA shampoo bar, what are your thoughts? The ingredient list Looks unusual, but am curious how the Porthos scent compacts to the original Arymis which is wonderful.

 

Great to hear you are enjoying the "golden years" Bill! Getting old is not all its cracked up to be, but respect is something that seems to be dissappearing from society unfortunately.

Seeing the old papers reminds me of simpler, more positive times. It would be great to have a time machine.

 

Right on the money on that time machine (if you can pick and choose your journey). Go with god, Bill
