13th shave with the Zeppelin, using the 0 . 5 mm gap:
Invariably a comfortable shave with DFS+ result.
A bigger gap would give an even better result with less effort, I think ....

A good early morning shave. The Assured blade worked better in a quality razor as it was held more rigidly than the Assured razor could. Not the smoothest blade but, certainly not the worst. I’d say serviceable is a good way to describe it. Great weekend to all and great shaves as well..... ​

 

Saturday morning:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Goodfella/7 AM day 2
RVT Frosty Bay Rum SS
Prep ASB
Krampert’s Bay Rum AS Splash
Aramis Edt

I swear, bay rum and menthol are a wonderful combination. I enjoyed the Frosty Bay Rum’s beautiful scent so much and the cooling effect felt great. The lather was so rich as well as slick so my razor skated across my face therefore that stubble was doomed. The Prep and Krampert’s Bay Rum aftershave were a perfect finish. The results: A perfect BBS shave!

See you soon!

Bulgari Man in Black today. 20 seconds to load the oscar11/TGN 2-Band Finest Badger brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Vintage Schick Plus Platinum in the Gillette Fat Boy. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Bulgari Man in Black EdT.

I love this handle shape. I couldn't pass this up- antique wood, great texture, a nice compact knot and a unique offering. First lather was great. It's a smaller knot but produced like a champ.​
