Figured it was time to shave the noggin after 4 days. If this blade and razor couldnt get the job done , I swore I'd just grow my hair back. The soap is Burma Shave btw . The red paint on the '59 is contrary and wont grab the brass. I may blast the head and tail and leave the middle black. Rest will be au naturale.
Don't count on me posting the picture my daughter took of her and some fat guy that would have to rent his tux from Omar the Tent Maker today.
Kicking it old school tonight. British Gem 1912 w/ Gem blade , vintage Colgate soap and a splash o' Aqua Velva blue. Burma Shave boar brush.
Wow! Another day gone before I could even post my shave. Razor: Lady Gillette Blade: Feather Brush: Razorock Plisoft SS: Stirling Mita AS: Proraso Eucalyptus and Menthol Figured I would honor No Repeat November with a razor I have never used. My wife confiscated it thinking I bought it for her. I just took credit for the gesture even though I bought it for my collection. She often tells me how much she loves it. No need to correct the misunderstanding at this point. It shaved really well with the feather blade.
I really really like the SS. By that I mean Super Speed. The Russian friendly SS. Nice shave and report!
This week I am going to do a mini-focus on Jwest razors. Today's blade is a Suzuki Niles, she is just under 6/8 with a half hollow grind and a wicked edge. Not sure what 'chemical steel' is but it also say it is 'high class' on the tang. High class or not it was a nice shave.
