Which Shavette did you use Today?

CJB Pain Stick

 

March 11

Parker SRX shavette
Astra SP (2)
Simpson Chubby 2 Super
MdC
Alum, Thayers, Lavender witch hazel, unrefined shea butter, and Terre d’Hermès Parfum

This is my fourth daily shave in a row with the shavette. I performed one WTG pass and a few touch ups for a close, comfortable shave. I spend about as much time touching up around my mouth and chin as I do on my cheeks and neck. I plan to try this for the next few days to see how my skin reacts.

After a few shaves with the MdC, I prefer it by a small margin over the CF Lavender shaving cream for use with my shavette. While both are protective, the MdC seems to produce a slicker lather for me.

Have fun, my brother!

I got the other side of the pacific covered in Costa Rica. My surf spot is 50 yards from the porch!

 

Awesome, enjoy!

Can I ask an honest question here?
Why do we need "what fill in the blank did you use today? We already have a Shave of the Day thread, don't they all belong in that thread? Far toooooo much confusion here lately, you need a degree in forums to keep up.

Brush: VHD Badger

Blade: Feather Professional (2)
Post-shave: Dickinson's Original WH, Nivea Men Sensitive Cooling PS Balm, Skin Bracer AS

I took 10 days off from the CJB in order to let a cut heal on my left jaw line. I picked up the CJB today and had an outstanding shave!

​

 

Hmmmm.... come to think of it. I had one very similar to that, except it was dark gray. I also had a denim three piece. That was a stud-outfit (in the 70s).

 

May I ask how many passes are you making with the CJB? Do you make a XTG pass, and if so, nose to ear, or ear to nose?. The XTG pass is what has put me off a fixed handle razor, so I would be very interested to know how you are finding it.

 

Pre-shave: K Shave sensitive shave oil, hot shower, hot flannel
Cream: Old Spice (original from India)
Brush: Hans Baier pure badger
Razor: Feather AC DX
Blade: Feather Pro Guard
Aftershave: Executive Shaving Moisturising Balm
2 passes: 1st pass WTG, 2nd pass XTG on face, ATG on neck

 

Not everyone reads all the threads. I do not read the shave of the day thread, but read the 30 day thread and the straight razor threads. This thread puts all the shavette related posts in one place, it’s more efficient for those who are learning to shave with shavettes.
