Greetings,

Last early morning face & head shave of February 2025.

The reacquaintance to myself this month using a DE razor for my combined face & head shaves after my extended long run of using Cartridge razors has been wonderful with the King C. Gillette & Wilkinson Sword Premium TTO razor. Out of the two razors the WS TTO premium is the most efficient. However, I find the more the King C Gillette comfortable to use, especially for my head shaves...I will keep rotating both razors in future shaves.

In my March focus I continue with another two razor focus using the Parker 24C open comb DE razor for my face shaves paired together with the Voskhod DE blades.

For my head/dome Shaves, I'll be using the Parker InjRzr paired together Personna PTFE SS Injector blades.

Finishing the shave off a with a few small dollops of Cien Cocoa Butter Body Lotion.

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

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

thanks Joe.


Today was a no shave day

Very good shave, opening with the San Juan Hill A.S. Clean and clear shave across and up/down,with the Old Chap Art from Art Razor. 2 healthy passes. I think I'll keep the San Juan Hill A.S.-, sorry @wristwatchb. Ahh, I'm sure you have plenty. . As Outstanding As It Gets.

awesome shaves and pic gentlemen.

It’s a great razor, and I am improving my one-handed shaving skills. Left hand is only good for stretching the skin.

Thanks Gary......I need to redmy reports for a while until I make sense of m computer issue(s).

The steeper angle definitely makes the VDH work better. I experienced that this morning. Great point!

Freedom February

Razor - VDH TTO
Blade - (2)
Soap - El Caballero
Brush - West Coast Shaving Synthetic

Modified the el-cheapo shave by changing to a synthetic brush, and returning to my effort to 3017 the El Caballero. That effort is paying dividends as the ring of death broke apart while loading the brush. A few more days and that soap will be in the history books in my shave den. The VDH and Voskhod did a great job again, as did the synthetic brush in getting a great lather. I got home late due to having a radiology appointment this morning so a quick two pass shave to a near perfect finish was welcomed. It's Tuesday! Enjoy!

​

Lovely shave, Danny! Great to see you again!
