What did we learn from our last shaves?

If you haven't tried them already, give Shark Super Chromes and Bic Chrome Platinums a go.

 

I haven't yet, I'm forming a list for an Try a Blade order. Thank you for the suggestions

 

I learned that the more I rotate through my current stock of about 25 soaps/samples, the more my top 3 performers keep distancing themselves from the pack. Stirling, WSP Formula T, and Route 66 all seem to have an extra slickness and protection factor that none of the others seem to have for me.

 

I learned that maybe Personna Reds might be better in a '50s Super Speed. I'll find out tomorrow night, I reckon.

 

That I enjoy shaving more and more each day or every other day

 

That popping noise I was hearing while shaving was not the drain in the sink but my little finger over the hole in the handle of my 34c! The drain is now clean and inspected)))))).

 

Bolzano....

 

Thank you sir! I will add this to the list

 

You've done GSB?

 

R66 is a modern boutique classic! Killer soap base. I am learning straight shaving with it. Protective, Arko level lather, but without any skin dryness. Love that stuff.

 

Gentlemen, from my last shave...
I confirmed that when it comes to straights and lather, wetter is better!

 

Gillette Silver Blue? If so, no I haven't

 

You probably should.

 

What I have learned from my last shave: A properly honed straight razor will cut your beard fine - a not so sharp one will just pull your hair out

Thank you for this info, it is bookmarked

 

Gillette Silver Blues, Platinums, vintage Platinum Plus, 7 o'clocks (SharpEdge and PermaSharp in particular)...haven't tried the Rubie yet.

 

Today I learned that a fourth shave on a Voshkod was not as smooth as the previous three. I will change out the blade for the next shave. The first two shaves with the Voshkod were great, the third was starting to tug a tiny bit, and today was worse.

 

I usually only go 2 shaves on them maybe three if I have a really good blade.

 

That's good to know! I can go five shaves or so with some other blades, but I guess not with Voshkod.
