Shave of the Week Starting 9/21/2020

Baili BD179 razor
Gillette 7 O'clock blade (black one)
JR #85 brush
Viking Citron SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Pinaud Lime Sec EdC

First go with a Gillette black blade and it was nice. Smooth, comfortable and did a fine job. Also happy with the Baili razor. It doesn't seem to get a lot of love but is a nice shaver (at least for me). My face is smooth and happy. Now go enjoy y0ur day folks.

You are exaggerating, you know that, don't you?

 

I'll have to take a closer look . I'm so taken with the twin blade Mk1.0 I rarely reach for the Mk2.

Gillette: Super Speed Black tip (X3) 1952.
Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (5)
Brush: Oscar 11 Multi Colored handle w/ TGN Premium Silvertip
Soap: Reef Point Admiralty
Aftershave: Floid Blue
Bowl: Junichi Tanaka Astisaral Pedestal

Another Oscar 11 brush. This is another work of art in my opinion. TGN Premium Silvertip is meant for this handle. Whipped up an amazing lather for a very comfortable close shave.
Reef Point Soap Admiralty is performing excellent as expected.

 

Asylum Rx & Schick Proline
Zenith 26-27mm Badger
WSP Gaelic Tweed shave cream
WSP Gaelic Tweed a/s splash
Abercrombie & Fitch Authentic Man Eau de Toilette

The Rx brought it. Awesome shave. A wonderful evening and shaves to all....​

 

I think the mk1.5 is better than the 2.0 without a shim. Shimmed they are fairly close.

 

Good setup and photo Gus.

 

My Mk1.0 with two blades seems more rigid than either the 1.5 or 2.0 so equipped. That's why I use it almost exclusively.

Great face shave. A&E is becoming my favorite artisan. The scents they make are incredible. Plus the soap is a top performer in all categories.

Excellent setup and pic, Gary. Next to the super charged funny car, looks like a setup Paul Bunyan would use.

 

Nice setup Doug. First time I can remember seeing an Oscar11 multi-colored handle.

I'm trying out a 7th Shave on the Spoiler blade. Last shave came out great, which is uncommon for this vampire bloodbath ABC razor. Seems that angle and very light pressure are required. I have come to respect this razor that a great shave is not given, but earned with technique and courage. And I have to say that I really love what PAA accomplished with their hard work to get a fantastic approximation to Creed's scent with their "Gold Label". I didn't think it would be possible, but PAA's version smells fantastic. The rose, light eucalyptus, gin and touch of lime. This is one of my favorite niche fragrances and PAA more than did it justice. I highly recommend it.
