Good afternoon!



Shavette Shave #341
Parker SRB
Feather 1/2 Blade (Fresh)
Stirling Boar Brush
Razorock Classic SS
Stirling Spice AS
Maggard's Alum Block
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 28 hrs

I didn't want to wait this evening to shave so I just decided to do it now.
Sterling Brush didn't shed and it give me a nice Razorock lather.
I decided to use a brand new half Feather blade. I have recently used a Feather blade in my Dovo shavette so I wanted to use my last new blade in the Parker. The Parker is more trickier because the ends of the blades are exposed whereas the toe is covered with the Dovo. Of course, I tried to be mindful of poking myself, but I did and fortunately only sustained a micro dot weep. Did 2 passes to get a BBS shave, but got a weep at my right corner of the mouth and a tiny scratch on my left cheek. Everything disappeared with alum and styptic. Thank God that I have a light touch. Feathers are unforgiving at the slightest faux pas. Applied the alum and there was very little feedback. Splashing witch hazel and Stirling Spice aftershave ended this nice shave. Have a great rest of the day.

Greetings,

Early morning shave,

Everything in my shave set up this morning worked together excellently...A continuing wonderful smooth performance from the Supply Razor / Personna PTFE SS duo cutting through my stubble with effortless ease....I find the Personna works really well the Supply Razor.

A enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

 

Thank you Gary

 

Glad to see you are loving the Supply razor. Great shave Barry.

 

Joe. The supply razor has passed all my expectations..A Wonderfully built shaving tool

 

Excellent shave Barry. I believe you found your #1 razor in your den. Enjoy your afternoon.

 

Gillette New Type long comb on Lemonwald stainless steel handle.
Feather blade (2).
Razorock 400 Plissoft synthetic brush.
Lakewood Soap Company Honey Mash Soap (sample).
Timeless shave bowl.
Royal Copenhagen cologne.

The New Type delivered an awesome shave this morning. It feels close to the New Deluxe but a touch on the milder side.

After I took the picture this morning I noticed a tooth out of alignment....how it happened I don't know. I'll give it a quick fix.

Hope everyone has a great day!

 

Nice pic, setup and shave Danny. It looks like that misaligned tooth would be an easy fix. Have a great day.

 

Joe...The Supply Razor V2 & the Schick G type are undoubtably becoming my favourites...Take care, and enjoy your day .

 

Thanks Joe. A brass master lock key works great to realign a tooth.

What puzzles me is how it happened. It has not been dropped or hit. I know....I bet got hung up on a tough whisker this morning.

Hope your day is great!
