Shave Den Sunday

My 30-day focus begins tomorrow. I just wanted to try some NOS DE blades that I received during the holiday. I won’t get a chance to use them very soon otherwise, as I’m planning injector comparisons for the first few months of the year.

I tried this blade on New Year’s Day in my birth quarter Gillette Red Tip and was impressed. I needed to try it in my favorite DE today.

Hot Shower
Soap: TSD Unscented
Brush: Ever-Ready ICS Badger Black/Lucite
Razor: Gillette New LC
Blade: Personna 74* NOS (Shave 2)
TSD Witch Hazel
TSD Aftershave Milk
TSD Acqua di Gio



The first shave with this blade was on a 3-day growth. It took me awhile to coax the blade out of the dispenser. I was impressed with the first-pass reduction that day.

Today was a 2-day growth, 2-pass shave.
This is a sharp, smooth blade even if it’s over 40 years old! Six hours later my face is soft and smooth. I have had shaves just as good though.

I think the conventional wisdom on the value of this blade was the number of great shaves one could get on a single blade - I’ve seen some claims of over 20 shaves per blade! Back when all blades cost about the same, it may have been a great value. But today, with the cost of these NOS blades very inflated, it may not be worth it with so many solid, less expensive blades out there - on a cost per shave basis.

Cheers!

Uh... Looks like I misunderstood the point of this thread. So what else is new?

Excellent picture with great tools. I like the look of your razor and brush. Will you head shave tomorrow also. Come up on my phone, but I can't see your picture here. Any thoughts.

 

Doug, I likely will shave my head. I'm not sure if I will need a face shave. My face is still pretty smooth 10 hours after my morning shave.

 

Your using one of my favorite blades do I'm sure your shave will go well. Than for posting.
