    Anything Goes

    Days growth = 1
    Prep = Hot water prep
    Preshave = Fauldings shave cream
    Soap = Satsuma, working hard to finish this
    Brush = Omaga 10049
    Bowl = Timeless
    Razor = Gillette Popular
    Blade = Vintage Gillette (4)
    Passes = 2 +
    Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayers Rose Petal
    ASL = Proraso Rinfrescante
    Scent = Santal Spirit
    Score = 9.8 /10

    Damage = none

    Super smooth Saturday shave, delighted
    Mild scent today to please the better half

    Day 4 of the Vintage blade surprised me, still good, I don’t normally get 4 good days out of one blade. The Popular is amazing, as good as any Schick SE in getting really close. Top lip WTG, XTG, and then WTG as touch ups with more pressure, this is better than ATG with this OC razor

    Hope your Saturday shaves are all as great

    Rowing is a great all around body workout. It's part of my routine. It looks like you have a good routine Chris.

    Great Stoylin shave this morning, the last day of August. 0:50 at the Loading Dock for the Stoylin Synthetic. Clean and clear all around. I thought I did another Knick, but it was just going over that of yesterday. No cuts, Knicks, Polka-dots. Just like yesterday, I wish I'd done a little better at North Cactus Nation(neck), but I'll focus on that area tomorrow. 2 passes. Nice finish from Stoylin Coniferous w/Menthol A.S. No cologne. Super Duper Outstanding.

    August 31 SOTD

    Good morning.

    Shavette Shave #573
    Parker SRS
    Gillette 7 o'clock Permasharp DE Blade (fresh)
    JR #290 Cashmere Brush
    Captain's Choice 45th Parallel SC and AS
    Stirling Alum Block
    Personal Care Witch Hazel
    Beard Growth: 48 hrs

    I went with my Parker Stainless Steel shavette to tackle my 2 days growth. I chose the Captain's Choice 45th Parallel Shave Cream because it's easier to lather than the soap. Also, I didn't need much to make a rich, creamy, slick lather: Here's my lather:

    Three error-free passes gave me a wonderful BBS shave. Had very little alum feedback. Splashed on the witch hazel and the matching aftershave to end this session. Take care.

    Sorry Gary. The auto speller reared it's ugly head. I manually fixed it.
