Shavette Shave #80

• Razor: Max Headroom Focus R21 shavette
• Blade: Feather (1)
• Brush: Semogue Boar

• AS: Clubman Original & Aqua Velva Ice Blue (1 Frost Drop added)--1 part CO to 3 parts AV

The Shave
Late shave report today. Once again, the Semogue boar whipped me up a perfect lather. No ice today. Even with the Frost Drops, the lather feels warm going on (even on the 2nd and 3rd passes), and I only feel the menthol upon rinsing. A Frost Drop in the AS made sure it ended chilly, though.

3 passes--WTG, XTG, ATG. The shave was almost a repeat of yesterday with the exception of a small weeper on the side of my neck. So small, in fact, that it slunk away long before the shave ended to go wherever it is small weepers flee. I'm somewhere between BBS and DFS (CCS on the southern pole of the chin because I just didn’t feel the need to touch up this late in the game). Very pleased.

You’ve wished it all day; Friday is ended--now enjoy your weekend!

80 down, 20 to go!

 

Thanks Tim! I wouldn't want to try the Electric Sheep soap.

 

Thanks Tim. Trying to figure a way to use some of my soaps more often.

 

Great shaveTim. How would you describe the Glastonbury?

 

Why notElectric Sheep? I have it, very nice.
In some ways reminds me of the Williams Mug soap scent wise, just a much greater glissade factor.

 

Heard it had a strong mutton scent.

 

Wow! 3 to 4 solid great shaves in a row Tim! Twenty more to hit 100 shavette shaves!

 

The Merry Mixed Up Month of May!

May 29

Razor - The Wunderbar
Blade -
Soap - Stirling Barbershop
Brush - Jayaruh #54
Post - Alum

Finally - a day with no clouds, rain, wind, murder hornets or sodomy geese. Just a nice day in the Lou and I made the best of it. Hustled my butt off to make my money for the day then came home to a good dinner and an excellent shave. Everytime I use the Wunderbar I find myself thinking I could make it my daily driver. Then my love of vintage Gillettes kicks in and I realize I just can't leave them out of rotation. The Sharp Star was still as sharp as when it was unwrapped and everything was smooth with no blood or irritation. Two passes to a BBS and I'm ready to roll into Saturday! Have a great weekend.

Be well. I love you as my brother. Still rocking your handle as the daily driver.

 

True story

 

Saturday Shave: Decided to make super lather, AoS tallow + AoS cream, it is getting hot some add some M-bomb and cool water. The Drew Dick is sporting a sharp edge. All in all a very nice shave.

 

Yeah, a bit more daring than I care to be--unless I'm camping

 

Honestly, the first time I smelled it off the puck it was like lavender-meets-chemical spill. It mellows out significantly, though, and a leaves a fougere-like fragrance that sticks around. I like it a lot, but it's a polarizing scent--I recommend it, but would suggest the sample first

 

Spectacular shave, Joe!

Welcome to the 30DC! Can’t ever go wrong with MWF! Sounds like a good solid shave!

 

Gary, I’m so sorry! I completely missed this grand photo and report.

Wonderful shave Keith. If I did not k ow any better I would think you snuck into my den to procure the DD for this shave. Fabulous blade and craftsmanship from a master. I love mine.

 

Fabulous Jim. I guess I better bust out my Nordost soon.
