Saturday

The worst shave I've had in a long time. Just goes to show, if your in a hurry or really not ready to make the time to do it properly, you should forgo the shave that day. Used a new generic personna blade in my trusty Progress, using a thick but luke warm lather. Only did 2 passes. The best part was the Brisk A/S, nice and cool.

Gillette Super Adjustable short handle/Perma Sharp Blade/Simm's Brush with Overstuffed TGN Silvertip/Arko SC/Arko ASB​

This Super adjustable @ 7 performed flawlessly on my face that had very little stubble. Two easy passes and I was left with a smooth as silk BBS n sweeeeeeeet shave.

Enjoy your shaves today, Gentlemen.​

Shave Of The Day - February 26th

• TSD SubZero Pre-Shave Balm ~ :freezing :freezing
• Hot Shower
• Music: Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown
• Ever-Ready Badger Brush ~ "The Butterscotch Beauty"
• TSD Wheat Shave Cream ~ Bourbon Vanilla Scent
• Gold NDC Fat Handled Tech
• Super-Max Super Stainless Blade ~ Day 1
• Thayers Witch Hazel/Osage Rub Blend
• TSD A/S Splash ~ 4711 Scent
• 

Been a while since I have used one of the older NDC Techs, and it paired up pretty good with the Super-Max blade, but I left a few rough spots.

I'll have to see if I can get it dialed in a little better next time.

Still, I'll have to call it 4 Blades

 

That is one beautiful Razor. I'm drooling.

 

Today's shave was a bit of an odd one, but wound up great anyway. Got a ride bummed off me and only had time for a one pass shave. Since I had 2 days' worth or beard I did a quick and sloppy WTG with a Parker 91r/Derby and Proraso, and was out the door. Fortunately, a couple hours later I came back to finish the deed in much preferred fashion: nice and relaxed, with plenty of time. Since today was pretty much a sitting around day I went with a soothing and aromatic setup:

40's Style Super Speed
Voskhod Blade (5)
TGN Silvertip Badger Brush
TSD Quarterly Burmese Wood Soap
Nivea Sensitive AS Balm
Old Spice AS

Great shave in every way. The TSD soap is usually difficult for me to lather, but today it gave itself up to me thick and creamy. 4 passes DFS, and no real redness to speak of, even being the second shave of the day. A+

 

Nice. Are you honing or sending them out?

 

Saturday:

Razor: Merkur 38C Barber Pole
Blade: Personna (Red Pack)
Brush: Omega Boar 10049
