What did we learn from our last shaves?

I learned that 15 minutes is enough time to prep, shave my head, and clean up after... But it doesn't leave any time to really enjoy the shave. 15 minutes is almost bordering on "you might as well skip today and allow more time for tomorrow,"

 

I love the Featherweight razors. Spot on description.

 

Not to be confused with MacD, King of SoapBubbles:

 

Yeah it really isn't enjoyable at all...

But sometimes you gotta be clean shaven for an event and are running late. I have to be clean shaven for morning and evening worships, just two times a week but if I overslept or didn't get home until late I have to do the fast shave.

 

If it is any consolation, I have taken "J" slices out of my scalp back in the day when I was bald, and shaved with cartridges, so..... inattention will bite one with any sharp implement.

 

When I set out to do a perfect BBS shave. I shave just before bed so any redness or miner iritation got during a super close shave will be gone by the morning. The shave will still be looking nice and smooth in the AM, atleast it's that way for me with my beard growth.

Happy Shave On To All,

From my last shave...

I learned that a TSD lanolin soap stick is easy to use, makes slick lather...and makes my face feel frosty good.

 

Which kind do you have?

 

I own the lanolin Iced Subzero, and the lanolin Barber shoppe. Have not cracked open the Barber Shoppe yet.

 

I had lanolin iced Barber Shop. Awesome stuff.

 

In my signature I am now listing my activities.

I will be using at least one TSD exclusive in each shave until Dec 24. All are welcome to join in. I am trying to point out the availability of such good stuff on the TSD site...

 

That's cool, I have only 1 soap and 1 cream right now but they're good stuff.

 

I would highly recommend the TSD AS Splash....it has a great balance of ingredients, and (I believe) just the right amount of glycerine to protect the skin, while leaving my face supple and clean feeling. I really like it.

 

I had the as splash in Yves Saint Laurent scent and the as milk in cool water scent. Both great just not enough lol. Ran out too fast.

 

Today I relearned that Feathers are a great blade, but to be treated with a deal of respect. They'll remind you of poor or lazy technique pretty quickly. But deliver FANTASTIC shaves.

 

Well then...you know how to fix that!

 

Did everybody skip their shave today? I got lazy....

 

I've been incredibly lazy today. Had to go
to SWMBO's company holiday party last night. A very late, very loud night(mare).

 

I report for yearly ordeal next weekend...

 

My wife's company had its party Friday - loud, but the drinks were free.
