Greetings,

Early morning return to work face & head shave.

A wonderful performance from the Kanzy K100...What I like about the Kanzy K100 razor is, the balanced weight it's closed 'tech type head' which holds the blade rigidly reducing the blade to minimum with no blade over-hang which is very comfortable to shave with additional protection of catching my ear lobes or under my nose when shaving it gives a close presentable acceptable shave when paired together with the right blade choice.

An enjoyable close combined face & head shave from the Kanzy K100.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Men Sensitive ASB.

My face is feeling cool smooth, & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

 

Good morning,

Off day report today.

I loaded up a fresh GSB in the travel razor and had another wonderful, consecutive day shave this morning. I have proven to myself that, with the new face care routine, that I can shave daily again. Having said that, I’m going to keep it up and see how far through the month I can get shaving every day.

Tomorrow will be the detailed report, and except for the blade and brush, everything I use will be entirely new to me. Looking forward to it.

Have a great day gentlemen….

Consecutive days shaving- 10
Current skin issues or irritation- None so far

 

Looks like a great morning Barry. I want to eventually try the Arko creams…

 

Nice going, Keep us posted Scott. My own approach is to have a rest day here and there, I get better shaves with 48 hrs growth, so do like to take a break here and there, like today for example, mulling around at home, too many other things to catch up on.

 

Thank you Scott. Both the Arko & Derby creams are worth giving a try, the scents are synthetic,but the performance slickness & post shave are actually really good considering the price bracket.

 

Thank you Chris. I also prefer to shave every other day, and once this focus month is over, I will return to that.

Having said that, it is good to know that I can go daily on business trips, a few of which I have coming up...

 

I'm going to throw a tube or two in my shopping cart Barry...

 

Beautiful shave and setup Barry. Have a beautiful day as well.

Excellent three pass shave this morning. The Evolution is a joy to drive.

Happy Tuesday everyone!

 

Awesome shave Scott. I think your improved technique and new gear allows you to shave every day. I started out wetshaving 2 days on and one day off for the first few years. I felt that I needed to give my skin a rest. Of course, I am excluding my headshaves. Lol. However, I realized that I had plenty of soap and switched to shaving every day to try to finish pucks more quickly. I still have plenty of soap, but I would have a lot more if I kept shaving 2 out of 3 days. Enjoy your day.

 

Terrific shave Danny. The Shield Evolution is simply gorgeous. Enjoy your day.

 

fine tuesday affairs gents.

 

Thank you Joe. Improved technique absolutely, along with generally taking better care of my face. Older and wiser I guess. I had to get out of that male mindset of bulling through problems and resign myself to the fact that I have as much self care product as my wife does now ...

 

Wonderful shave and photo Danny...

A good shave this morning. I'm not 100% happy, as I usually am when doing a Bill Neumann shave. I got all th areas I needed to get, but I'm worrying again about ingrown hairs along each cheek. I will say I could have administered more soap along there-perhaps I didn't do a good job loading. I'll improve on that tomorrow. There's that old saying "If you can't beat 'em join 'em". But I can't imagine myself with a full beard. Neaupe. At least Porcupine Alley has always been clean and fresh-no worries about anything growing in those areas. Nice job down at Cactus Nation. Pretty Outstanding. Maybe I do better with tallow soaps than hard ones.

 

Thanks for the like, Gary...it's not right for me to have a low grade after doing a a Bill Neumann.shave. Hopefully better tomorrow with same..

 

Wonderful Gary and I like the decanter for the Gents Gin

 

Thank you Gary.

 

Thank you Joe. Have a good day as well.
