SOS: January 2019

I have a similar set as well. Old Spice Lime is some fantastic stuff.

 

January 13th - Shave of the Night - NIVEA MEN Body Shave Stick - NIVEA BODY post shave balm - NIVEA SPORT AfterShave (came from Bulgaria) *the body stick is OUTSTANDING!! Amazing Post shave - it performs like artisan soap. The SCENT is that great NIVEA ocean,musky,manly scent, maybe because it is designed for men to shave there chests, legs, privates, etc, they bumped the scent up? But wow - the soap has crazy scent strength! Wilkinson Sword boar brush & DE Safety Razor - new BIG BEN BLADE.... shout out to the wilkie de razor - it is in my top 5 favorite de razors - this cheap, plastic razor is deceiving - sure it looks cheap - but it is SO GREAT. Safe and eazy - with blade feel.
Peace, Jamie --

January - Shavettes and Jeeves!

January 16 - Blade Trials
Razor - 1962 (H1) Gillette Slim (6)
Blade - (2)
Soap - Arko
Brush - Jayaruh #312
Post - Alum

My Monday is over. Typical catch up after two days off and the boss always drops by to start the week off. I think he actually just likes to hide in my store before he has to talk to the idiot down the street at his next stop. He noticed my freshly shaved head and commented on how smooth it was so we talked razors a bit. I think he's considering trying out a safety razor. I offered to set him up with gear or at least recommend what to use. We'll see how that goes.

Another momentous event today - after 8 years of Bachelor's Degree and working through the Master's program in Marriage and Family Therapy, my wife started her practicum today. For the next nine to twelve months she will be working with and under the supervision of a licenced MFT to get her hours for graduation, which will then put her in position to intern for her license. This has been a long process for her but she saw today, for the first time, the finish line in seeing her dream come true. I am so proud of her for her commitment and for hanging in through some very tough times. She sat in on two sessions today and will start seeing her own clients in the next week or so. Whew! We're near the end. Red Robin to celebrate tonight after I got off of work so I'm happy about that too!

Ok. Back to shaving stuff. Day two on the Vi-John SS blade. Slim on 6, and I chose the JR312 to whip the Arko into shape. This brush has the synthetic horse knot in it and it's very fun to use. It acts and feels more like a real horse than I thought it would and I love that. No issues with the lather and no issues with three passes. The blade is still smooth and the only bump in the road was the cut near my ear that I earned two shaves ago by a bad set down. That caught in the gap on the XTG because I forgot about it and didn't get up on the cap to avoid it. No real blood, just a reminder it's there. Can't blame the blade for that. My fault. I'm thinking tomorrow's finish with this blade will be a great one. No heat from the alum, BBS on three passes and that's a great way to finish up. Have a great Thursday!
