January - Shavettes and Jeeves!

January 9

Razor - 1959 Gillette Super Speed
Blade - (2)
Soap - Jeeves of Hudson Street Bay Rum
Brush - Stirling Pro Style Synthetic
Post - Alum

Definitely feeling better but trying to ease back into regular food. So far, so good. I decided to stay with the "safe" option tonight for two reasons. First of all, why risk it when I'm not quite at 100%. Secondly, I plan to start some blade trials tomorrow and wanted to make sure I was BBS tonight without any cuts/scrapes/bloody messes to have to work around. So, this is the best way to accomplish that as well. Three full passes on the Super Speed and it still impresses as one of the best basic razors ever made. Gillette hit a winner with this one. The Jeeves and Stirling brush provided mountains of high quality lather and it was a great shave to set up the next few days.

Our new bed arrived today and is all set up and ready. My wife took a nap on it today and declared it the love of her life. I've been replaced by something I sell. I knew it would happen eventually. One thing is for certain - I will definitely enjoy sleeping tonight more than last night on the air mattress. One night was plenty of that. Have a great Thursday!

you are welcome sir.. love your photos..

 

absolutely lovely sir..

 

could you build one with a banner behind a vintage bi plane? that would be awesome..thank you, gary.

 

Nice setup. Do you like Cool Water or Green Irish Tweed better?

 

wednesday night shave..
brit fh fb tech, gsb, commodore bb.
mikes orange, fine splash..awesome...

 

To be honest I find Cool Water Night Dive smells much much better than Cool Water, however, it's suitable at nighttime for Spring and Summer season.

Cool Water is better only in the Daytime for Spring and Summer season

Never heard of Green Irish Tweed? needed to investigate further about this

Edit: OUCH!!!! Creed Green Irish Tweed is nearly $370AUD..............are you tried to kill my bloody kidney @Tim Spencer

J&T® purpleheart / Hebei Oumo synth.
PAA "Doppelgänger Black Label" shaving soap.
Seygus "Zeppelin" / Stork "Taipan" handle.
Kai Stainless (3).
Loris "E-178" EdP.

Used the "aggressive" side of the Zeppelin once more.
Used the "aggressive" side yesterday as well - appears to be a bit more effective.
Again a comfortable shave with a smooth result.

 

#tbt Superb Shave
The lather was thick and easy to make, with plenty of residual slickness. This shave felt comfortable and close. There was very little burn from the splash, and I love the scent, sadly, my wife did not.

Tabac Thursday's Shave


Cold Water Wash
Tabac Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #331 Boar
Ever-Ready 1912
CVS CS SE
CWR
Tabac AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Tabac Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #331 boar brush. I did two passes with the Ever-Ready 1912 razor with a CVS CS SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
