Thank you Gary........y'know, I have another set of Old Spice dupes...Stoylin Spice. I forgot about the strength of the pour spout on THAT aftershave. Most of Doc Ezlovan's pour spouts are safe enough anyway-perhaps that one, too.

Thanks Chris...it is heavy but a smooth shaver.

Take care.

Greetings,

Franken-soap week.

A new eclectic shave set up to start the Weekend...Once in a while I like to use my franken-soap creations I find it's a good way to use up both Shaving & bar soaps remains rather than just discarding them.

Another close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

1 Days growth



Prep and Preshave = Hot water soaks
Shaving cream = Faulding’s shave cream. I have been using this as preshave up to now, but today used it to face lather with. Applied to face, brush lather for each pass. Worked surprisingly well. A not unpleasant fragrance, but I am glad this is now finally finished
Brush = My first brush, Puro Tasso. Soft, but has little backbone
Razor = Rocket HD 71.1 grams
Blade = Vintage Gillette Super Stainless (6) !
Passes = 2
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayers rose petal, Nivea balm
ASL = Proraso Rinfrescante
Damage = 0

Super smooth shave despite day 6 of this blade. This surprised me. I might even give it another go. The Rocket HD is a winner!

Have a great Saturday one and all

DE Shave # 557

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: PAA Prismatic
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (3)
Brush: Ever Ready 200T
Lather: Stirling Vanilla Sandalwood
Aftershave: B & M Sandalwood
Additional Care:
Omega Alum
Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel
Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm

Outstanding Stirling shave this morning. The soap and splash are a perfection warm combination for this cold, damp day here on LI. It’s @Trigger weather…

An extremely close and comfortable three pass shave with the Prismatic DE razor. One interesting feature of the razor is that it “sings” as the blade removes the whiskers. Here is a brief introductory description from the PAA website of the razor: “The Prismatic s yet another homage based once again on one of my favorite, hard to get (or afford) classic vintage safety razors of all time by The Kirby Beard Co Razor of England...or actually by The French Razor Company Leresche (classic "Private Labeling")!.
