30 Day Rule/Focus; November 2024. All Are Welcome.

fabulous seaforth! shave and pics Joe.

 

fine thursday shave Paul.

 

-Thursday-
french aristocrat jr
yaqi ruby
seville
shulton old spice



good morning gents
second use of the french 'crat jr
swapped the wilkinson blade out for a vintage gillette super silver
yesterday's shave was great but lacked a little smoothness
wilkinson blades are a yardstick blade for me with any new to me razor.
***
fabulous seville lather built with the yaqi ruby
smooth 2 passer with the 'crat jr/ss combo,minor pick ups
still a very vocal razor,more so that my last one ..fine by me..
shulton old spice to finish
awesome
have a fine day everyone

​

 

Wonderful shave Danny. I believe Lakewood is going out of business. It's a shame because it's a fine soap.

 

Thanks Gary.

 

Cool 'crat shave Gary.

 

Thank you Gary-if Shulton's OS has a smaller pour spout, I want Shulton to buy back OS from P&G, as I said. Course in this day and age of "Shave Product Change", probably won't happen.

 

thank you Joe.

 

doultful it would ever happen..

 

are you saying the barn doors come off easily then?

Good going Joe

Super shave and setup Gary

 

Chunky looking razor Danny, looks hefty too

 

22 Nov 2024

2 Days growth

Usual Prep and Preshave = Faulding’s shave cream, one or 2 days left
Soap = Cyril R Salter Solid shaving soap
Brush = Pura Setola
Bowl = White plastic
Razor = No 77 (3rd outing)
Blade 1 = Vintage Gillette super stainless (5) right side
Blade 2 = Vintage Schick (2) left side
Passes = 3 full passes
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayers rose petal, Nivea balm
ASL = Imperial Leather
Scent = Guerlain Pour Homme
Score = 9.5/10 for end result

Damage = None

Light touch, really riding the cap, better overall shave. Still really needs focus but does help hone technique. However the shave took a bit longer than I would like

The Vintage Gillette felt smoother, the Schick actually felt better today, but overall still a challenging shave

I will park this razor for a while and come back to it later

Hope you all have a great weekend ahead

 

thank you Chris.

 

Another nice job with my Old Spice dupes, for Friday.. Soap jumped onto the brush for a strong setup of a clean, clear shav all over. No cuts, Knicks, Polka-Dots, Red Ball Sunsets anywhere. 2 passes. I was a bit more careful in avoiding a Niagra Falls with the aftershave, but not quite 100%, as I still got a little too much out for Cactus Nation(neck)application. Ahhh well. Super Duper Oiutstanding.

 

awesome Chris.these razors were state of the art for the day..(1932 up) with carbon steel blades.your razor was also available with a heavier fat handle..not making excuses of course....and again,trying to match a 66 is hard..

 

awesome friday affairs gents.
