SOS: May 2019

That's what I did this time around. I shaved so the head of the razor made more contact with my skin and the blade angle became very steep. This reduced a lot of the irritation. Also, I used PAA pre-shave soap instead of pre-shave oil and it helped the glide substantially, which is needed with this razor it seems.

*Edited to correct my quickly typed bad grammar.

 

There are folks around here using all manners of shaving devices. Some use carts out of necessity, some preference.
I think the best was my first the Atra with the real small head. Wish they still made them like that without all the lube strips & stuff.

Shave libertarian here. Be like Burger King and have it your way.

 

Pre: Warm water splash
Brush: Omega 11047 Badger/Boar
Soap: Eufros Rosa Bourbon
Razor: Blackland Sabre L2
Blade: Gem PTFE
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Rose of Bulgaria ASL

Once broken in this little brush has minimal scritch and builds lather like an adult brush.
Happy Shaving one and all.

Squat Head Curved Cap 1912. A little tuggy in a few spots but I suspect mostly due to the head shave just eating these Gem blades. Still a fine shave.

The techmatic is a good shaver. You got to get use to the angle though.

I went with this same razor to try out another blade I received from the same batch as the Sharp blade I used yesterday, which is also made in Bangladesh. I had the same results, BBS smooth in two passes and some touch up.

Had a good time at 2 golf tournaments. I found them very tiring. Courses were wet and it was cool. Got rained out on Tuesday. All in all a good time.
A very good shave.

Good picture of fine gear Kevin. I'm going with SE razors next month. The Sabre L2 is one of my favorites.

 

Great picture Jim.

 

Beauty photo and setup Andrew.

 

Good setup @Jorvaljr. I don't believe I've used that razor. Looks good.

 

Thanks Doug!
