Jan 8 Good evening, gents! This afternoon, I decided to shave my head with Cremo and used the recently gifted G E Jones Shake Sharp by Jeff,@ jgreenepa. I got a wonderful BBS headshave. Although I have to do more cleanup than usual, it is very difficult to cut yourself with this razor. This razor is in my top tier for headshaving. Tonight, I didn't want to hold off shaving until tomorrow because I might get called in to work and that makes one less morning ritual for me. 1955 Gillette RedTip (Birthyear) Rockwell DE Blade (4) Rockwell Synthetic Brush Stirling Piacenza SS and AS Nivea ASB not pictured Rocky delivered a nice lather and I was ready to shave. I love the Piacenza scent, but somehow it has lost its strength and the scent has changed in that it isn't as sweet smelling as when it was new. I don't have an explanation for it, but I can still live with this soap. A two pass shave gave me an uber BBS shave without any red flow or irritation. Applied the matching aftershave and followed with the Nivea to top this shave. It was a nice relaxing shave. Have a great night, guys!
Thanks Jeff! I purchased all my components individually. The kits are pricey and I'm really not sure they are worth it.
Thanks, Gary! I wanted a birthyear FB, but someone outbid me and I was not a happy camper. This Redtip came on the scene and bought it as a consolation purchase. When I first used it, I was not ecstatic because I like adjustables and this is a relatively mild razor. However, I had the best shave with it this evening and will be using it more frequently.
very cool.the red tip is equal to setting 7 on an adjustable gillette..the brit one is closer to 8..or so i hear..
I agree with your assessment. I always keep my Gillette Slim at 9 and it is more aggressive than the RedTip. I always keep my adjustables at the max setting for each pass.
Nice offer Evan but I think you need to paint the end of Tim's pink to match the bathroom. A Pink Tip is about as rare as the FuzzTech.
Awesome shave Keith. I don't know much about cigars but those are probably better than Swisher Sweets.
Evan, those Flare Tips look fantastic. If you have a G (a G3 is even better) in the mix, I would be interested in working out some kind of deal with you on it.
Dang it, Evan. Those are gorgeous. I can see now, why so many people have so many razors--you all are just too nice. Makes it hard for minimalist to stay minimal. PM forthcoming after I get dinner on for the fam
