Stirling, Single Edge, Slim Al Shavette, Spirit of St Louis brush , last Sunday in September

Stirling Deep Blue Sea SS
TSD Memorial 2019 Spirit of St Louis Deluxe Custom Limited Edition Flattop brush
Focus Slim Al Shavette
Gillette Silver Blue on 3
Stirling Deep Blue Sea AS

Yesterday's shave almost let me slide today, but I have turned from my wicked non-shaving ways.

Went for the Deep Blue Sea and my Blue shavette with Gillette Silver Blue locked and loaded.

When the Exalted Blue Ming saw my setup, he ran off for his partner the Deep Blue Ming. Between those two, that soap, and that brush, the dry soapers could only cower.

I'm not sure what knot Jason@jtspartan used, but the soft floppiness surprised me some. No worries, I wanted one of Jason's brushes, it looks cool, and I think it generates a more finely aerated suds. The length is just perfect if you have one of those deep blue shaving bowls. And there is just never a problem the Exalted Blue Ming can't handle. Certainly clocking a spume 6th rating for today.

Great shavette shave as usual, close, easy, comfortable. Good follow up to yesterday's edgy sharp straight. Very, very light tool.....some will not like that feature. A very small footprint, makes it easy in the nooks and crannies. Just be careful, if you go in too steep you get a blade binkie. Similar blade loading mechanism to the Focus R48, but much less hassle. I only have a working inventory of 2 blade types anymore, the GSB for shavettes, and Feathers for everything else. The GSB told me the time is up after today.. Usually go 4 shaves, but this one is screaming for the deep blue blade bin.

That reminds me, time for fresh Feathers in the pair of Focus Dynamic R48 razors too.

Finished up with the Stirling Deep Blue Sea AS. This flavor has really grown on me and now makes the Max Headroom List of Most Glorious Stanks. It'll be a restock item.

Enjoy your shaves folks and have a super week.

 

Always have a great picture!
