Tonight's shave. This shave was fun today. I picked up this little Gillette brush 16mm knot and smells like Boar. I wanted to get back to my SE's with stropping blades. So I chose my 1924 for tonights ride. The blade is as you can see Chess. This is the second shave with this blade. On 2 full days growth I have a DFS bordering on BBS. Three full passes no touchup. I can't wait until I get the hang of stropping and being able to do a proper refresh on these blades. Have a great night Tom
Thanks Doug It actually performed decently. I will use it more for sure. Tom Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yes the knot is original. I believe it is from a single ring set. I think it is real early. As it does not say sterilized like others I have seen trying to research it. Anybody with info I would love to get it. Tom Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Wow! Two calendar worthy photos on the same page! Do you guys work for National Geographic or what?!!
My gosh Tom, is that the world's smallest brush or what?!!! How many times did you have to reload it for each pass?
I only had to reload 1 time for 3 passes. I face lather. It is a 16mm knot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
SOTD 7/14/16 Pre: Shower, Nivea face wash Razor: Gem Micromatic Blade: Gem (Personna) Brush: TGN synthetic Soap: WSP Bay Rum Post: cold water rinse, alum, witch hazel, Aqu Velva Ice Blue I was kind of sore yesterday from my shave on Tuesday so I waited till today to shave. I'm glad I did, had a second look at my beard growth to make sure I was following the grain pattern. I decided on a SE shave today since I don't have the correct blade to follow the blade trials. I wet my brush after re-wetting my face to get set to make my lather and the WSP did pretty good, it's no Catie's Bubbles or Haslinger but it did pretty good. Well I lathered my face for my first pass WTG and got really good reduction. I relathered and went for my second pass XTG and got really good reduction again. I rinsed my face off and felt my neck and cheeks and decided to go for a Third and final pass ATG. Third pass I was really careful about because I was already really close but went for it anyway. I got really, really close, so close I was BBS smooth and was pleased with it. I rinsed off with cold water and ran my alum over my face and just got a whisper under my chin. I then rinsed that off and splashed on the witch hazel and waited for that to dry. After that I patted on my aftershave and felt it cooling effect on my face and cleaned up everything. Hope everyone had a great shave today!
