2020-03-04, Wednesday

Today the weather was undecided. And me too.
I was on the horns if a polylemma: what soap to use?

Then my gaze fell on some bowls, resurrected to put a semblance of order and there, among the other bowls, a soap created seven years ago by the R&D Dept. stood out for its size!
It still retains its smell!
Because, for me, Proraso Blu does not have a scent: it has a smell!

It was born to have a soap in superlathering prêt-à-raser and has not lost its smell and effectiveness.

Love it! Good. Bad. I'm the guy with the gun.

Frozen Wednesday
I needed a pick me up today and Terror did just that. This soap is very cold, not the coldest ever, and it does not bother my eyes due to the different kind of menthol in it. It's exhilarating instead. I started the freeze with PAA Cube preshave soap, and wrapped it up with PAA mysterium serum with menthol so this was cold all around. My face is still cold! After I splashed on the Terror aftershave, I dried my hands on my sides and that also helped wake me up!

Williams Wednesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Soap
Jayaruh #387
Stick Schick
Schick Proline
CWR
Aqua Velva Musk AS

The Williams Mug Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #387 brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Stick Schick with a Schick Proline blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

thank you,mild to moderate ,very smooth ,similar to the new rfb..my favorite 3 piece gillettes..

fantastic set ups,shaves and pics gents..

March 3 Madness

I Imagine the young ball player who got the Louisville Slugger made from the discard of the Jayaruh 367 is always wishing to know what lucky wet shaver is out there whipping lather with the business end of his bat. I just love the simple beauty in striking color it displays.

The brush and the GSB blade round up the indulgent portion of the shave today.

Derby stick, sufficient lather. Smells like Ivory soap.

The $14 shavette (Focus R21 Evolution) with the recessed blade and sissy corner guards is able to come in at minimal shsving angles, has a nice reach and balancd handling.

Paying particular attention today, I noticed that the description of my shaving stroke is not totally accurate. I usually say that I start flat and slightly roll the blade in until I feel it. I actually am beginning the stroke at the same time. I only go in enough to get a cutting sensation which happens best in motion . Could be why I usually need 3-4 pass shaves over 1&2. A little like tightening bolts, where you learn to balance the amount of energy required to get-er-done enough to hold without rounding off or stripping the hardware.

I came into edge forward shaving devices from straights, which many recommended. That does carry a steeper investment and makes this a great option for those who want to learn at a minimum cost. Having the covered corners is just a safety plus. I figure you can run out and buy that spike point razor later.
