30 Day Rule/Focus; January 2024. All Are Welcome!

Thanks Joe. True. However, my Henckel's razor is not too shabby and can hold its own.

 

That Stoylin Agar soap and Agadir A.S.-a real Oud Wood powerhouse!

 

Another wonderful looking shave and beautiful razor Joe!

 

Thanks Scott. After my Sons of Thunder, this is my top favorite.

i doubt it goes stale Paul.it will outlast many bingo players..

 

I spoke with him a few months ago. He said he's not coming back to this thread. I didn't ask him why, but based on certain things he said that I surmise his last medical episode posted by his son made it impossible for Jeff to enjoy shaving. He has checked out the site once in a blue moon, but that is as far as it goes.

 

fair enough.well i hope he knows he is in our thoughts..

 

very cool.i need to use a few of my stirling soaps up before i buy any different scents.

 

fabulous friday shaves and pics Joe's..

 

I am sure he does.

 

Thanks Gary.

Greetings,

(Face & Head Shave) (Clone razor week)

First outing of the "Indian made Trac-II clone" Gallant II platinum cartridge razor of which it's overall performance is was significantly better to the Treet Swift II Platinum providing an acceptable smooth near BBS head shave. If I had to choose which I prefer then it would be the Gallant II platinum purely because the closeness that it gives is significantly better than the Treet Swift II Platinum. That being said, both razors are equal in smoothness & comfortable.

I will continue to add the Gallant II Platinum for my head shaves throughout the month duration of the month, and beyond purely to use the cartridge heads.

I have carried on for with my revisiting blade focus using the Super Shave X Platinum blade which are manufactured in china made of Swedish steel and paired together admirably with the Baili BD177 wonderfully.
The Baili BD177 (super-speed clone) is an incredibly good razor, out of all my super-speed clone razors this is my favourite each and every shave that I've had with it has been consistent comfortable, and close. Today yet again, was no exception.
the Vitos Vegetal another wonderfully 'Full On' vibrant sweet almond scented shaving soap to start my first weekend 0f 2024 off in style. If you like almond scented shaving products this shaving soap will blow you always with it's fragrance performance and post shave feel...Superb stuff!

An acceptable close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off a with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

~48 hours



Prep = Cold Water Prep and shave, Tabac in a tube as Pre shave
Soap = Sterling Black Cherry, almost done, enough for one more shave
Brush = Omega 10049, I keep coming back to this brush for my harder soaps
Bowl = Timeless
Razor = Gillette Nacet / 7 o’clock, unsure of the date
Blade = Shark Super Chrome (1) no complaints
Passes = 3+
Post = cold water face wash, alum, Thayers, PR Rinfrescante
Scent = Proraso Cypress and Vetyver Cologne
Damage = none

Score = 9 + / 10
Comments = Super shave. The Gillette Nacet is a bit old and scruffy looking, but works fine anyway. I do like the OC on a 48 hour growth. For some reason the chin area turned out better than normal.

Have a Super Saturday everyone

 

Super Saturday shaves Barry!

 

Excellent setup Pierpaolo. My Schick E-3 gives my great shaves, but I prefer my milder Schick 1-1.
