Sorry for butting in, but tobacco often refers to the flower which doesn't really smell of tobacco.

 

NOVember is NO whatever you want it to be! Apparently.

Razor - 1960 Gillette Toggle (9)
Blade -
Soap - Stirling Port au Prince
Brush - Jayaruh #46
Post - Alum

Well I have obviously been a very good boy when the gods hand me this shave. My, my my. The Toggle. A Rapira blade. Ok, so it's the Chrome that isn't my favorite but it's still a Rapira so it's still high on my list. Stirling mutton tallow Port au Prince, and a Jayaruh synthetic. I could easily use this setup for the entire month of Decadent December and be on theme. It makes me a bit nervous, two very fine setups in a row....what will tomorrow bring? I'll worry about that tomorrow.

As for tonight's very late night/early morning shave? Fantastic. No other word for it. Every time I use a Toggle I just have fun. And with this soap and blade combo, with the brush doing its job flawlessly, three passes to a BBS and quiet alum is not just the expected result, it's nearly guaranteed. And I got it tonight. Ahhhh life is good. Now to catch up on the last few hours and sit back and bask in the feel of a nearly perfect shave. No wonder we all like this so much.

 

Thank you!

Obey the rule.....




A 3 pass face and a 2 pass head shave this morning.

Seems the blade is a bit duller than normal for the 2cd use. I trudged on but with it not cutting like it should, I got a little iritation on the left jaw. Nothing bad, just not nice as I like. Might have to toss the blade after one use, but I should find that out in the next week or so. Don't want to change using a blade twice, but if this run shows the folly of using a blade more than once, that's good to know.

Anyway

Have a great day!!

Thanks!

Cold Water Wash

Jayaruh #39
Eversharp Schick G5

Aqua Velva 5 in 1 AS Balm

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #39 brush. I did two passes with the Eversharp Schick G5 Safety Razor with a Schick blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Aqua Velva 5 in 1 AS Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
