    Friday's Shave
    zcws.jpg

    Cold Water Rinse
    Proraso Sandalwood
    Bunny B-400 by Tom
    Gillette Double Ring
    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWR
    Pinaud Lilac Vegetal

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Proraso Sandalwood Shave Cream face lathered well with the Bunny B-400 by Tom. I did two passes with my 114 year old Gillette Double Ring razor with a Gillette Silver Blue blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Pinaud Lilac Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Cold Water Shave
    Heno de Pravia Glycerine Soap
    Proraso Green Pre Shave
    Proraso Green Shaving Cream
    Yaqi Synthetic Brush
    Turkish Copper Bowl
    ZY Shavette with an Antelope Super 77 Blade
    Nivea 2 Phase AS

    A later shave as I am on night shift, and it gave me a chance to use my new arrival from Aliexpress. The Super77 blades are longer and narrower than a standard DE and when 1 edge is past its best the blade can be reversed to use the fresh one. Certainly not as sharp as a feather....but definitely fit for purpose with no nasty sharp corners to ruin the day!
    3 passes for a lovely smooth finish:)

    Friday SOTD

    Considering some neck irritation last shave, I went gentle today with TOBS sensitive cream and the Razorock GC 68 on the Weber Bulldog Handle. 2+ passes for a comfortable irritation free shave. Followed by soothing Thayer's Rose Petal witch hazel and Barbasol AS. Ready to work in the ER. Enjoy your Friday everyone.

    For a centenarian the Old Type moves very sprightly, helped along by the wonderfully slick Eufros lather.
    Happy Shaving one and all.

    Very satisfying shave, 2 passes 1st with Gillette SE Guard, smooth and easy, meds quit, so 2nd pass was with the Braun electric, with a thinner lather, I came away with a very good shave, I would say better than DFS. Go with God, Bill

    This razor is smooth and crazy mild. I couldn’t tell if it was cutting or not. I went to 5 and even went beyond but wasn’t sure what it was. Lol But in the end i am not quite BBS smooth but close enough. I
