July 22 SOTA

Good afternoon.

Shavette Shave #468
Dovo
Personna Hairshaper Blade (14)
Mühle R102
Gillette Wilkinson Sword DE Blade (4)
MrEE Tuxedo Brush
Stirling Spice SS, AS and EdT
Stirling Alum Block
Beard Growth: 23.5 hrs
Dome Turf: 4 days



I am going to a church singles get together so a face and a headshave was in order. It's been a week since I had an open blade face shave so my Dovo got the call. I picked my Mühle R102 because I have 4 days of dome turf. My final week of shaves will be open blade ones. Of course, I picked the Stirling Spice set because of its cologne type scent.
Here's my lather:



Did 3 passes on the face and 3 passes on the dome with minor pickups in each area for an error-free BBS shave. The alum feedback was only on the back of the dome behind my ear. Splashed and spritzed on the matching aftershave and EdT, respectively. Take care.

 

Thank you Joe

Nice travel shave, I don't do much travelling anymore, but should think about what to pack, just in case!

I Googled Fenway: Flooded! you guys get some real weather up there! Do you think the Shirtless Slip n Slider needed some alum to his upper torso!? Lol!

Thanks Gary.

 

Lovely looking set up and shave Joe, lather excellence again.

 

Grand set up and shave Gary, I can feel the sea from here.

23 July 2023

Same/similar to yesterday

26 hours stubble, mid-morning Sunday shave, bit rushed today

Razorock Lupo/brass handle, Rubie day 3, Jermyn street collection TOBS in a tube, Plissoft synthetic, Timeless bowl, thin lather, almost dripping
3 passes with touch ups for a nice result, except for some weepers left side of chin, unusual spot for me….combination of dulling blade, too many strokes per pass, and thin lather, perhaps I was a bit rushed. Blade was binned

Whilst I can loosen the razor head to rinse it, this is not ideal, esp. if I use a thick hard/tallow soap

The weeper was still there after my clean up + alum + Thayers, so it needed some Proraso Gel Riparatore, hmm haven’t used this in a while, the tube is getting a bit thick and clogged

Still think my skin does better with 36 or 48 hour growth and fresh blades

Doing my best to finish the Brut ASL and the Proraso ASB, nearly there, won’t be replacing these

Have a great Sunday everyone and have some great shaves

 

Thanks Chris.

 

Awesome shaves mes amis!

 

Good morning all.
A good shave head and face.



Nice thing about this razor and blade combo is I get a DFS in one pass.
No nicks, cuts, or burn.
The top of my head is a little tender, from the sun yesterday.
I changed oil and coolant in my bike and forgot to wear a hat. By the time I was getting finished up I felt a stinging on the goard. I caught it before it got red but I feel it during my head shave.
Oops....

All is well.
Enjoy!

Thank you Joe..Enjoy your Sunday.

 

Nice setup and shave Terry. I recently started to wear a cap to protect my dome. However, I still go outside hatless in order to keep my tan uniform.

 

This morning's shave covers yesterday too, as I had the same arsenal and result both days. I held the Gillette Foamy under the tap and that helped the smoothness of the foam. Nice work along the cheeks&sideburns, I skimmed over the right side of North Porcupine Alley, but got the left. Solid at South Porcupine. Had to work a little extra to clean up the jawline. Cactus came out fine. Nice and COLD aftershave that Stoylin Glacial Lime(course ALL Glacials are that). Halston Cologne to finish. MostOutstanding.

 

No English translation for the notes on Prorasso, I see.
