March 13th Canadian New Deluxe w GSB (1) APShaveCo Mixed knot/Resin and Sapele Stirling Mountain Man combo Thayers Day 11 of the NEW focus, 1st with this New Deluxe. Left the house quite early this morning and haven't had a chance to post until now. Had a pleasant, if somewhat rushed, 2 pass shave. Everything worked at least as well as it should and I could not have expected better results from 2 passes. Have a great day all.
got my stirling bay rum shave soap in the mail today. My batch seems to have a pretty good scent. nice one to wear with the clubman bay rum.
That NEW SC looks like it probably needs some TLC. I know a guy who does that. He could probably be talked into taking another fancy brush too.
I agree. I have the Classic and the Single X and they produce very nice lathers. However, the scent on Single X is very faint.
Congrats on your 150th shavette shave, Joe! Well done, my friend! I look forward to your next shave with the Dovo Special. We'll keep the shavettes humming until you get back.
Swell first outing with the Apollo Light, Jim! It's a beautiful razor, and I look forward to following along as you dial it in.
Thank you Charlie! That shave will be very special (pun not intended) and I am looking forward to it!
Thanks, Charlie! Seems it'll be a pretty straightforward shallow angle razor. I'm anxious to switch over to the "smooth" baseplate. I find so called mild razors fun technique testers. Sent from my SM-T800 using Tapatalk
Beautiful set up, Jason. The New Deluxe is a beauty. It has been a blast following your New focus. Those are some of my favorite vintage Gillettes. I hope all is well in your school system. Our local schools decided to pack it up for the next three weeks. I'm not sure if I'll get back to see my sweet Kindergarten kids this year. We'll see.
