Two fabulous shaves the last two days with the Busta’s Blend soap. This coming Tuesday will be the Edmund Fitzgerald of this soap.

Both shaves were error free with a thick, slick lather. Both razors did a magnificent job.

Hope you all have had a great day.

2 Days growth

Same setup again but with
Blade = Kai (2)
Passes = 3 and buffing, then attended to the back of the neck
Damage = none

Another super shave

This is getting boring

Good to spend some time with each of these shave components, though...
The Razorock can take a lot of water and doesn't thin out too easily
The Semogue Finest Badger holds on to the lather nicely, one of my favourite brushes
The 37C is not one of my most efficient razors. The fact that it is a “slant” doesn’t make much difference. Nice and manoeuvrable, quite safe, takes a bit of work to get a really close shave
It will be good to give this one a bit of a rest

This is the end of my 7 day focus with this setup...I need a change, but I will keep the Kai for my next setup

Have a great Saturday, one and all

 

Thank you Gary. You as well.

 

Thank you Chris. The Enders Speed gives fantastic shaves. I picked it up on EBay a couple of years ago. I picked up a magnetic adapter developed by Hendrix Classics & Co. to hold the blade in place. The adapter accepts the Schick Pro-Line B-20 nicely. It appears the adapter is no longer available.

 

Very nice shave to start the weekend. Hope you have a great one.

 

Very nice shave Chris. I find I have a different experience with the 37c. I have had the 37c since the mid 90’s. Once I got it dialed in, I have had exceptional shaves. I enjoyed the 37c so much that I purchased its bigger brother, the 39c - aka the Sledgehammer, for my Southern den. Again, the 39c has taken some time to dial in mainly because of its heft. A longer handle with more weight overall does take some time getting use to.

I am sure Barry, @palmolive fox, can give his assessment and experience with these two razors as well.

 

Thank you Joe. Have a great one too my friend.
