    Shavette Focus Shaves # 47 & 48

    Parker SRX Shavette
    Feather Hi-Stainless Platinum Coated Blade
    Kent BK8 Silvertip Badger Brush
    Mike's Natural Soaps Hungarian Lavender Soap
    Alum
    Thayers Unscented Witch Hazel
    Unrefined Shea Butter
    Almond Oil
    Jeeves of Hudson Street Blood on Steel aftershave    ​
    ​
    This is my humble kit for the G7DC. Nothing fancy here, but everything works well. Even though I'm shamefully not color-coordinated, I rock a Kent shaving brush and comb. I therefore qualify for Matchy-Matchy points. Both shaves (Thursday & Saturday) were two passes with DFS results. Thursday's shave edged out Saturday by a hair (...edge...hair...see what I did?) due to a small cut under the nose and some chin weepers. All the boo boos were minor, but I consider my best shaves to be blood-free.

    Sometime after the G7DC, I'll swap out the Parker SRX for a Feather AC SS folder loaded with a Feather Super Blade. Timing should work out well, as I'm approaching the half-way point of the shavette focus.

    All is good here in Ole Kentucky. I hope you all are having a great weekend.

    As I've learned to my detriment, slow and steady is the only way to go with a straight razor! :love029:

    Joe, hopefully nobody noticed I skipped the Call to Order. With his bunch, I wouldn't have much luck with that. :happy097:

    Come to think of it, I'm not having much luck getting my Red Danger brush from @MrEE, either. I'm joining a Bunko group this week, so hopefully my luck will turn around. #cncfourthaxis

    Thank you, Clint! There isn't a single item from this haul that isn't great. Thanks again for your recommendation of the T3. It's a lather beast.

    Sounds good, Joe. Skip the Hai Karate, and your shoulder will feel better the next day.

    Thanks Gary. My gear pales in comparison to some of the fine stuff others have. However, I'm fairly happy with the results I'm getting from the shavette. I think it will be even better as the focus progresses.

    I hope you're having a great day, my friend.

    Thanks Joe. I appreciate the kind words. I'm still kind of amazed I can even use a shavette, and it has certainly helped me develop my skill and confidence in using other types of razors.

    Good afternoon guys!

    Straight Shave #204
    Max Sprecher 10/8 Half Hollow Barber's Notch
    Catie's Bubbles Tuxedo Synthetic Brush
    Stirling Spice SS and AS

    Mad Max was on his A game once again. This is only my 10th shave with my superstar. I only needed 2 passes w/o touch ups to get a BBS- shave without any issues on a 30 hr stubble. Finished this fine shave with the Spice aftershave. Sorry, but I will be using the same pic throughout this mini focus. Have a great afternoon guys! 20200911_204101.jpg
