Wednesday's


Dove Men Face Wash
Tabac Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #27 Silver Tip
Gillette Super Adjustable
Astra Super Platinum
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Lemon WH
Aqua Velva AS

The Tabac Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #27 Silver Tip brush. Two passes with my Gillette Super Adjustable razor on 6 and an Astra Super Platinum blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Fourth shave of No Variation NoVember.
​

 

Closer shave, less post-shave irritation, only two small weepers. Overall, a much more enjoyable shave, despite my lather being slightly anemic.

 

That's what I've noticed too. GSB seems a bit smoother most days.

 

Beautiful. But, is this like "Where's Waldo"? I don't see the razor!

Wednesday SOTD:

Razor: 1937 Sheraton - rhodium plated
Blade: Gillette 7 O'clock Blue
Brush: Whipped Dog Silvertip
Soap: Stirling Sharp Dressed Man
AS: Pinaud Clubman

I've been using this Sheraton since the beginning of the month. I know the rhodium isn't the correct finish for you purists, but it makes for a really great looking razor. This razor has provided me with really smooth comfortable shaves each time. The angle is easy to find and I find the razor to be very light. It looks aggressive, but looks are deceiving, it's fairly mild.

 

Nice rustic pic. Very nice. I love those F Types. It's on my RAD list.

Schick Ivory I-1 Injector
Schick Injector II Twin #1
Romera Black Buffalo Horn
Palmolive Classic SS
Alum, Witch Hazel ++Menthol, Unrefined Shea Butter
Chilled Proraso Aftershave Lotion


Today’s shave was a super close three pass BBS. The Schick Twin Blade had no trouble with 2 days of stubble. The twin blades were sharper and more efficient than the single blade. The Romera kicked up a cool thick ‘Classic’ lather, pronto! The knot has the density of a Simpson or Shavemac. It easily held enough lather for more than 4 passes. Finished with a few squirts of icy Proraso. Hope everyone had a great Wednesday.

 

Thanks Herm. I realized when taking the photo the guitar was the least expensive item in the pic.

 

I shaved my head with the same setup later on in the afternoon, Layrite No.9 Bay Rum is moisturizing and healing! Layrite will definitely hold a place in my rotation.

 

Thanks, Herm! These photos of mine are tributes to my brushes and not to Waldo, though! Therefore, you only get the brush.
