SOS: June 2018

The Wilkinson Light Brigade is an amazing blade. If I had 100-200, I would NEVER use anything else. As it is, I only have one left.

 

Great work on restoring the brush. It is gorgeous.

Beautiful razor and setup Gus! Congrats on the graduations!

This wraps up my "steady as she goes" weekly shaves. Seven effortless shaves in the books. Very nice combo. Seems to me the 7 O'Clock blade is underrated. I easily get 7 quality shaves per blade. Smooth & sharp. Work well in both the slant and Fatip.

I'll be switching razors and brush for next week's 7 day stint starting tomorrow. Still need to pick a soap or cream and an aftershave splash.

 

What a transformation! Nice work!

Wow! What a shave! Aggressive, blade forward yet smooth and actually quite comfortable. Decided to give it a whirl since I’d had it for over a month and never used it. Surprised the heck out of me with the way it shaves. Looks mild, but very far from it as it provides more than enough efficiency, a lot more in fact to satisfy the masses. Have a great day and awesome shaves Gents....

Pre: Cold water face wash
Brush: Steven_jagger Zebrano Wood 24mm ST
Soap: Tabula Rasa Light Cream
Razor: Schick L1
Blade: Chick
Post: Cold water rinse, Floid Black ASL

At less than 23 hours since my last shave the L1 still took three passes to get something resembling a ccs.
The S_J Brush is a lovely little thing and a pleasure to use. Steven is a very talented craftsman and fulfilled my remit beautifully.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Good looking lather Joseph.

 

Thank you for the kind words. She shined up very nicely and was a fun little project.

Back to my favorite set up, a sure thing, w/a little something added. Two passes, WTG/ATG and an extra creamy brush full of Proraso covering my entire neck only. I have 2 places, 1 on each side just below my jaw where the hair grows weird. The extra "pass" cleaned them smooth as a whistle. I`ve been trying for years to get them, and just think how simple the solution was (boy am I dumb). But extremely happy. Happy shaving to all and God Bless.

Had a bone scan, and now I'm waiting for a CT scan on the 29th. Will know more then. I'm going away for a few days to a golf tournament. Hope I can hold up for 3 rounds. What am I saying, I will hold up for 3 rounds.

 

GartBnx.....

 

Excellent picture and setup Gart.

 

TOBS Grapefruit shaving cream, King Shave Flubber Green 24mm Timberwolf synthetic brush, WCS Midnight Series 84B razor, loaded up with a Rockwell Swedish Steel blade, SoCo Rose aftershave.

Slow, smooth and deliberate shave, and afterward, a mug of Graffeo Coffee. A great way to start the weekend.

 

You’re damn straight Marine. Attack pin high and please, only 2 putts per green....
