Thursday October 17 (noon) - Odds and Ends October

Prep: Hot shower with Aleppo olive oil soap w/ 20% bay laurel oil (traditional anti-acne)

Razor: Parker Adjustable (SE) injector on setting 5 / Supply white label (made by Personna)(6)

Soap: J M Fraser's Shaving Cream

Brush: Simpson's Chubby 2 Synthetic Bristle

Lather Bowl: None

Post: rinse, alum, rinse

Last shave: Monday evening - 2.5 days

The setup:



Today is my birthday so I did a special shave for it: That's right --- I shaved only TWO DAYS after my last shave!

Otherwise it looked exactly like my recent shaves.

I kept the Parker Adjustable injector at its maximum setting of 5 and did two easy passes WTG and XTG. No irritation noted. Alum was a bit warm overall but no real stinging anywhere and no blood.

I then forgot to use the splash sample -- oh well.

Overall, a very good shave.

However, when it comes to injector razors, I think that on the whole I still prefer my Supply 2.0 or a Schick "E", "G", or "L" to the Parker Adjustable. I am going to bin the blade, retire the razor back to its box and move on now.

And now off to collect my brother at the airport. He has a conference to attend here tomorrow, so he came in a day early so we could spend some time on my birthday. We last met in person a year or so before the pandemic which will make this a very nice birthday indeed.

Hope everyone has had a good week so far and you are all staying safe and healthy.

 

Thanks Joe.

Lol! Old enough to never be able to finish them, but may still grab one or two more just for fun

Happy Birthday John. Enjoy your time with your brother, always a special thing

lovely shave. Sounds like you are a bit disappointed with the razor, well in comparison with your others anyway.
