Haven’t really posted anything for a few days. So here is Monday nights shave. Small “The Pippin” razor, it definitely needs some time on the stones, not the best shave/ feeling at all, but I was able to complete my shave.

I just got to say, WOW you guys have some beautiful brushes! Some of them look just amazing! Very impressive.
Tonight's shave was with a Japanese Razor. I had a decent 2 pass shave, that left me with a DFS. I needed a little more stropping, and then did the touch-ups with it. I forgot how hard this Silver Steel was. Needs much more work than usual. . Razor- Japanese KYOEI #55. Brush- RazoRock 400 and WD High Mountain Badger. Soap- Arko/Sandalwood Scented Aftershave- Arctic Blue
Adjustable (Arko) Anything Goes and whatever else we decide AUGUST!!!! August 15 Razor - 1972 (S2) Gillette Super Adjustable - Long Handled Black Beauty (9) Blade - (14) Soap - Stirling Sheep Brush - Jayaruh #54 Post - Alum Day 14 on the same Personna 74 and it's in the Gillette Black Beauty. Shave #2 in this razor for the blade but it's the end of two straight weeks. AND.....just to add a little challenge I took a no-shave night last night and that sets up a two day growth shave for a blade that should be long in the tooth. I grabbed the Stirling Sheep to let that wonderful mutton tallow give the blade a bit of an advantage and used the JR54 to load and face lather a magnificent lather. Seriously. Rod's sheep soaps are just that good. After the shave I squeezed out a handful of lather from the brush and it's truly amazing in its thick and slick consistency. It's far from baaaaaad. Well, I wasn't sure what to expect but I can say I'm not totally surprised. However, I would say I'm pleasantly intrigued. After those two sentences I'm sure you need no explanation, but let's simplify. The shave was smooth - in spite of the number of shaves on the blade. A couple of times I felt a slight drag but no more than normal on two day shaves. I did not get the baby, but I did get a very nice and high end DFS. That's quality and good enough. I think a brand new P74 would give me the baby on this shave but I finally may have found a bit of weakness after two weeks. We'll see how it goes tomorrow on shave 15 with the usual one day growth.

Tabac Thursday's Shave Cold Water Wash Tabac Shave Soap Jayaruh #270 RazoRock Black Hawk Feather Professional CWR Tabac AS My prep was just a cold water rinse.
