Razor - Blackland Blackbird
Blade - Gillette Rubie
Brush - Jason’s delightful 30DC LE
Cream - T.O.B.S. Grapefruit
Post - Stirling Orange Chill Witch Hazel
Ok, fellas. We’re gonna close the books on Operation Rubie. The blade made it clear this morning that it’s ready for retirement. Definitely a reduction in smoothness, particularly going ATG. Not dreadful, by any means, yet not worth pushing forward. With an estimated 18 full shaves, plus a number of back-or-the-neck cleanups, you can’t ask for much more. Besides, I’m afraid Gillette is going to call and ask for more money. Let’s not get the word out on the streets, lest they raise the price on Rubies. At least until I can sneak in a bulk purchase.
Taylor’s Grapefruit provided plenty of goodness for the razor to do its thing, aided by some swirling of Jason’s beautiful creation.
With only an application of Orange Chill as a post (just for fun), a most epic shave was had.
Have a great day, gents!
