SoS: March 13, 2017 - March 19, 2017

A great BBS shave with my trusty Super Speed, the Astra on its 4th day, and the chilly Proraso Green soap. I LOVE the Amici aftershave's scent and it has a nice menthol effect.

SOTD March 16, 2017

Blade: Chinese Schick
Razor: Schick J1 injector
Brush: Surrey badger
Lather: Deep South Soap Company 'Sawmill'
Post: Witch hazel splash, Stirling Mountain Man aftershave, Nivea sensitive balm
WTG, touch-up

Did not get good lather today. It was thin and I ended up with a little irritation. But otherwise the shave was fine. I enjoyed the J1 injector as well as the scent from Mountain Man.

Have a great day!

16 March 2017 Shave Of The Day
Today's shave features TOBS Coconut Luxury Shaving Cream. Using the dry brush technique my 6212 whipped up a slick, shiny lather. The weekday stubble never stood a chance against the DE89BL/Shark combo. 2.5 passes plus some touch up and the deed was done. I splashed on some Ogallala Bay Rum & Sandalwood A/S from the sampler I got from WCS, walked the dog and it was off to work. Have a good 'un.

Cream: Proraso Blue

After Shave: Aqua Velva Ice Blue

The Shark blade actually felt smoother today than yesterday. A fine shave indeed!

 

Beautiful. The fan knots have become my favorite style, both in form and function.

 

What the HECK is up with you guys and the nuts and bolts razor??????

 

Day 21 of 30 days of straights

Using my Henckel 6/8 Round Toe again today. This was a CCS. It is not exceedingly close or smooth, but that is probably because I only did two passes today. I was going to go for a third pass, but seeing as how I had not cut myself on the first two passes, I decided to skip the third. My technique shows only small improvements daily, but it is improving. My improvement for today was that I managed not to cut myself and have only one small weeper.

I have avoided using my E3 because the E series has been call "aggressive" and my old face doesn't care for aggressive.. But I got brave today and tried it out. Yup, it's aggressive. But by taking it easy, little blood was shed and a ok shave was had. Now go enjoy your day folks
