Soap: C&S Oxford & Cambridge. wish I could afford the fancy anodized dish but still a top soap
Brush: New Forest "Tubbie 1"
Razor: my father's old Schick Krona
Blade: NOS Schick Krona "Black Beauty" (1)
After Shave: Fine American Blend
Usual three passes, no sign of whiskers nor blood

 

Yesterday's shave reaffirmed my belief that the lack of proper technique will result in a lousy shave even when you have the right razor blade, your lather is great and you are using your favorite razor. I can only assume that my technique was the issue yesterday because virtually everything else was right on target. My lather was good, the blade was good, and I was using my favorite razor. I usually get a single cut about every other month and a weeper about every week or so. Yesterday, I ended up 4 cuts and 3 weepers. The only explanation I can find is that my technique must have been poor.

Today I used the same setup with the exact same blade and ended up nice and smooth without issues. I did limit myself to 2 passes today, so the finish is not excellent, but at least I have no wounds.

Hey Jasman! My fellow Fraghead. I like it. My second wearing but I am finding it not as sweet and projecting as Tuscan Leather. It stays close to the skin. The rest of the notes are very similar except for the raspberry. I like it.

Fabulous Friday! I broke out the scuttle this morning. The Vie Long whipped up the Gondolier into a good and warm lather. The Cobra and the Duck did their jobs admirably. The Feather Pro Light blade is still going strong. The AV brought some chill and the Prada will have me smelling great all day. A nice Darn Fine Shave to finish of the week.

Have a blessed day!
