GartBnx.....

Sometimes a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Good deal that it worked out fine!

Thanks very much.
The rescue actually made an initial bad shave into a very enjoyable and satisfying one.

28 February 2018

Effortless two pass, minor touch-up, BBS shave this morning. The RR Disruptor whips up copious amounts of lather in no time. Although, it seems IB no longer offers that brush. Not sure why though.

Brush: RazoRock Disruptor synthetic
Bowl: Dollar Tree salsa
Razor: RazoRock German 37 slant
Blade: Personna red (4)
Aftershave: Pinaud Special Reserve

Maggard Limes & Bergamot today. 20 seconds to load the Cowboy Classic/Whipped Dog Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Vintage Gillette Platinum-Plus still in the Gillette Fat Handle Tech. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Stirling Sandpiper aftershave.

SOTD February 28th


Gillette New SC
GSB(5)
B&M Eventide
Yaqi Mysterious Space (24mm silvertip, Frigate class)

For the last shave of FAVuary I choose my favorite new soap, Eventide. This soap is an amazing Oud forward scent with the Raspberry, Lime, and Rose fragrances blended in to make just a bit sweeter and tangier! No problems with smelling any badger funk over this scent because it is easily a 9 on the strength scale and filled the whole bathroom. 3 passes to a DFS and the GSB I'm using is starting to lose its sharpness a little. No aftershave today but I'm still catching whiffs of Eventide every now and then! have a great day my friends!

Hi Bob, I have noticed over the last several years, you put up a simple but elegant, informative post. I have enjoyed them all, keep up the good work God Bless.

Razor: Personna Floating Head
Blade: Gillette TwinJector (5)
Pre Shave: Homemade
Lather: Proraso Green
Brush: VDH Badger
AS: Aqua Velva/Afta
Newspaper Date: Dec. 9,1943

A near perfect shave with the razor, blade and lather mentioned above, of course prep is important, but are interchangeable, personal choice. IMO!
Two passes, WTG/ATG with clean up after each pass....... Voila ! Near prefect for the last 35 shaves. Samo, samo and getting boring. I`m going to use a new month for an excuse to change to something else for awhile. happy Camper here wishing the same for all, God Bless to all.
