May 6, 2016 It’s Hydro-Magic May! I’ll spend the month with my three Schick Eversharp razors that sport the Hydro-Magic shaving/cleansing head - Types I2, J3, K1 Hot Shower Razor: 1962-1968 Type K Lady Eversharp Beauty Razor Blade: Schick (China) (2) Soap: Route 66 - Barbershop Hop Brush: Ever-Ready 1CS Badger TSD Witch Hazel AS: Myrsol Blue One-pass shave - ATG Nuff said. Cheers! RT
OK, when I'm done with my Sheraton, and waiting for Bunny, I get out my Type K, just to make the "Hydro-Magic May" crowd happy.
Today's shave: Friday May 6, 2016 Mongoose Alumigoose 2 w/Maggard MR1 handle Feather AC Pro blade (2) Plisson synthetic brush Los Angeles Shaving Soap Co. Blackfern soap Captain's Choice Cat O' Nine Tails aftershave Today's shave was irritation-free and pleasant enough. The MR1 handle works well with the Alumigoose, giving it a little heft. I loaded a Feather Pro blade that I had lying around, and it reinforced my opinion that the Feather Super Pro is the blade for this razor - the Pro is a little on the mild side, leaving me with not quite BBS in the trouble spots. --Bob
Ha! Costello had Abbott, Lewis had Martin, Groucho had brothers, Laurel had Hardy, etc..... ...and I'm stuck with you?!!!
Day 6 on the wedges. Used the Louis Rasoir again but with a different blade. Really something to be able to tell the difference in blades. Today's shave had good whisker reduction throughout and was smoother than yesterday's. The end result was excellent.
