December 22 SOTE
Good evening guys!
Rockwell Model T Razor (4)
Rockwell DE Blade (2)
Jayaruh #386 Silvertip Badger Brush
Stirling Christmas Eve SS and AS
Dickenson's Unscented WH (not pictured)
Nivea for Men ASB (not pictured)
Whiskers: 30 hrs
Ok, this is the same setup as yesterday's shave, but I added the Nivea ASB
The JR #386 produced a beautiful lather with very little soap running down the handle. I always loved this brush, but since I figured how to be efficient with it, I love it more.
Stirling is Stirling! Enough said!
I decided to dial back the razor's setting to 4 because my skin really took a beating yesterday. It is the first time that I have shaved on this setting with T. I only did 2 passes and got an IBSS+ shave. I did have to do more buffing than usual, but it is to be expected at this lower setting. Got a weep at the chin tip, but it wasn't a biggie. I attribute it to being unfamiliar with this setting and placed too much pressure to compensate for it. Previously, the lowest setting that I used was 5. I am glad that I used setting 4 because it showed me that I can get a good shave with it. However, I would not attempt to shave on this setting with 2 days growth. Applied the witch hazel, the aftershave balm and the matching aftershave to finish this shave. This ends the double-duty tour with the Rockwell Model T. Tomorrow will be a no shave day and Thurs will be the return of Mad Max which is my most decadent razor. Have a great evening guys!
