Good Sunday morning all!
Well my open blade focus turned into a rule...who'd a thunk it?
View attachment 183092
SR- H. Boker & Co. Magnetic
DE- Fatip Retro
Blade- Polsilver
Soap- Stirling Bay Rum
Brush- Omega Badger
Finish- Stirling Bay Rum post shave
I've used the same tools and software for 8 days now, IMO....that's a rule.
So, why stop now?
No blood! None! So far....
The first passes with the straight is doing much better. I did 3 passes with it but it came out to be like a bad 2 pass. See, I'm not going anywhere near my ears or lips for now. I have about a 1/4 inch strip that I use as a buffer zone on the face till I get better. The neck on the other hand was much easier today and I think it will be Ok in another week or so. The cheeks are good and the jaw line is comming along fine. The chin, that will take some study and work to get it right.
I did a 4th pass with the Fatip and that cleaned it all up.
Have a little itching on the neck, but after 4 passes, and 3 with the new guy holding the blade, well....
It went away after about 20 minutes or so.
Haven't tried to re-use a DE blade yet, so I'm on my 2cd five pack of Polsilvers for the week, but I expected that.
Now shaving the head is like ice cream and cookie heaven. No problem with this blade/razor combo. Might be silly to try somthing different, but that's always in the cards. I do think thay my R41/Feather 30DF rule I did last year helped on that, a lot!
So there ya go...
I stumbled into another rule, will it last 30 days?? 60 days?? Or, untill I can shave whithout the DE as a back up?? Who knows, but it seems to be working as advertised.
Good shave to all, and..
Enjoy
Thanks!
