Was suppost to go to the Tigers opening game yesterday but it got canceled due to the rain. Ended up going to the arcade bar downtown that just opened up. They have a bunch of old classic arcade games, food is cheap, and a bunch of micro brews on tap. Really cool place, would recommend checking it out if your in the area.
Saturday morning's planned shave: C. W. Beggs Facial Wash Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Super Speed/Astra day 6 RVT The Cabin SS Bull Dog Moisturizer Nivea Cool Kick AS Balm This new Cabin soap has a very interesting, unique scent. Cedar wood and other notes - can't wait to try it out!
Lol ok. I was gonna say 50 shaves is reaching into the Persona 74 or Wilkinson Sword Brigade territory since those blades are suppost to last a long time. Each brand of blades seem to have different longevity issues, had a Rapira SS last about 15 shaves and decided to change it more for sanitary reasons than anything. By the time you realize the blade is bad it's sometimes too late and the damage is done.
Sir, I`m not familiar with this razor. Looking at the head. Does it swivel, or is that the shake mechanism? Bill

This big Napoleon is an exception to my general preference for 5/8 to 6/8 straights. Simply wonderful shave with it just now. Super efficient and smoother than most.

The Shake Sharp is indeed so named because of the hone built into the razor which sharpens the blade when the razor is given a shake. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Been a few days since I posted here cause it's been a few days since I've gotten a shave. Yikes. Post shower shave Pre shave was some oil from dear barber then a lather using Captain Joes cream, whipped up with my ever ready brush (love this thing) Astra blade as they've become my prefered blade and a gillet black handle flare. Top it all off with a splash of pinauds! Sent from my SM-N915V using Tapatalk
