I have been looking at getting some Cella brushless shaving cream.

 

I gave myself this because of how quick my cut healed. I thought about a 9/10 but the shave was even despite feeling like I left a bit more then I normally do. I may have in middle of the shave clean or 80--90 % used the old side up on the shaver but fixed this in the final clean.

 

awesome weekender shave and pic Barry. have a great weekend.

Today's shave(Sat.) was very good. Top Gun(from Regiment Soap)felt nice. I think it's a Drakkar Noir clone. Small cup, but 3.5 oz. of soap. Underrated company, I'd say. 0:40 at the Loading Dock. Clean&clear all around. No problems. Nice close from the Royal Copenhagen. As Outstanding As It Gets.

 

Today's shave was a 9.5/10 because I had a small mini cut on my jaw/chin area along with a second cut I was going to have due to a mosquito bite yesterday also the blade was on dial 5 though I did get a shave. Today is day 10 on the bottom 24 overall with the same King C Gillette blade. I had a nearly BBS due to using dial 7 very lightly at the end as a back to get the excess shaving I left behind.

I used as always, my H 2 Gillette Adjustable slim handle shaver without the case.

Today I used my soap and lotion concoction with keeping the blade/shaver clean doing a water clean of about 75--80 % in the middle.

I did add little soap to the shave lotion this time after the shave using Shea Moisture African black soap that was watered down to get the excess out of a bottle at the bottom and adding in about 1/16th of another opened bottle what was left. My brother and I use some pumps from the Shea Moisture brands Conditioner as the shampoo no longer uses a pump only the conditioner does when we got all the pumps. Luckly the brand is a Walgreens/CVS exclusive so people in my town from the local Walgreens can still buy the products now that Walmart is no longer carrying the brands products.

The new book I got on July-31, King C. Gillette, the man and his wonderful shaving device https://www.amazon.com/dp/0316009377/?tag=thshde-20, my early era of King C Gillete blade before the company moved to the thinner Chinese models, and my Gillette shaver are proving they are still a great trio for this month. I am basically done with the book only a few pages left. I tried to not to do spoilers other than a few hints here and there to tease the book or what one can find on Badger & Blade on history of the USA Gillette timeline.
