Good morning guys!

Straight Razor Shave #285
15/16 Wostenholm Near Wedge Square Pt
Hembree/Maggard Synthetic Brush
Music City Suds Lavender SS and AS
Maggard's Alum Block
Dickinson's WH
Whiskers: 39 hrs



I just love Danny's brush. Today it made a real, creamy, slick lather and I just like this scent, too.
I picked my near wedge razor because it also has been quite awhile since I last shaved with it. It really is an excellent performer. It really mows down my whiskers and it is very difficult to cut myself with it so that is definitely a plus. Two passes and a touchup on my right neck gave me a near BBS shave without bloodshed and without any irritation. Finished with my normal postshave routine and I am smelling and looking nice. Have a great Sunday guys!

 

I had a few bad homies muhself when COVID was at its peak. Man, did I feel good when the barbershops re-opened and the babe sliced my hair.

 

Fair enough Charlie! Lol!

 

That's your story and you're sticking to it.

Thanks!

Are those bannanas? Now I REALLY think it could have been me-my mom said I loved bannanas growing up....hate' em now.

 

I am glad we can laugh! Yes shaving is supposed to be fun. Everyone has different experiences. I will say that my safety razors are not that difficult to find the angle. You, Clint and some of the other members have a much larger inventory and therefore, you face different cap geometries than I so I do understand your perspective.

 

I'll be sure to buy, and read, it! Thank you for the recommendation.

 

That is one rocking it ice cream cone!

I want one!

I had trouble avoiding an acrid taste in my cooks till I tried his methods. Many are still practiced….. most if the time.

Happy Sunday Everyone. It has been a busy morning around the homestead. Workers were here yesterday and today, trying to finish the mater bathroom remodeling project. I can say things are coming along nicely. I noticed I had not used the Supply Co injector recently so I decided to give it go. This razor with its mirror finish reminds me of my Cobra razor only smaller. I felt like rewarding myself and went with the LEA Classic shave soap. This triple milled soap smells fantastic and works like a charm. Three passes and touch ups caught the baby with ease. A splash of LEA aftershave left me smelling and feeling great. At some point today, I have to do some work but I am not sufficiently motivated at this point. I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday.

 

Veddy nice shave Clint.

 

Thank you Joe.

 

I notice that you use the Schick Proline blades. Since they don't come with an injector key, do you load them into a different key, or do you just unscrew the supply plate and insert it manually?

 

That LEA is a quite interesting company.

 

I just unscrew the plate and load the blade. I like being able to take out the blade and clean everything up before storing the razor. I really don't like the idea of leaving injector blades in razors for long period of time.

 

Fair enough! I've always liked the idea of the Supply razor, but when Schicks and PALs are so affordable, I can't justify £100+ on an injector shave!

 

You were raised right, Paul.

 

No shave today but I did score some iron. It has been a busy weekend and I'll get caught up with y'all.

Went over to a friend's shop today. I haven't seen him
in a while. This is the sign at the end if his long drive way.

I needed the two parts I have circled but the price was right and I got a lot of good parts. Farmall Super A final drives, clutch housing, transmission case, PTO and misc stuff.

I hope everyone has had a great weekend.

 

Awesome shave and nice score on the base plates. You will definitely enjoy them. Take care, Jason.

 

Very nice, Barry. Hope your weekend was great.
