Friday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Vintage Life Morning TOST
Jayaruh #30
Russian SHaDE Razor
Personna Half Blade
Schick Repeating Type C
Schick Proline B-20
CWR
Pinaud Clubman AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Vintage Life Morning TOST face lathered well with Jayaruh #30 Brush. I did two passes today using two different razors. I used the Russian SHaDE Razor with a Personna Half Blade on the right side and the Schick Repeating Type C razor with a Schick Proline blade on the left side and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. The Russian SHaDE razor did very well. It is nimble and very easy to use. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Thank you, Gary!

Friday:
hot shower w/Old Spice soap on a rope
Maggards Grapefruit PSO
Schick I Type 3 passes
Schick (2)
Old Spice soap in a warm mug
Old Spice boar
Thayers Unscented witch hazel
alum block
Old Spice A/S Lotion

Decided to make today an Old Spice day.

I got fooled by my I Type with only 2 shaves on the blade. It was so slippery smooth that I didn't respect the blade and gave myself a couple of weepers. I caught the baby but paid for it a bit.

BTW, I smell fabulous.

Thank you, Gary!

Thanks Gary

Today is your last chance, for quite some time, to see a decent picture.
And last night, for me, was the last chance, for quite some time, to spoil myself: a simple but cholesterologically demanding dinner!

Shaving wise... it's a story with an announced conclusion: soap is mechanically excellent and appreciating its scent is subjective!
