Ever wonder how many shaves in each tub of Proraso? See below in the Lather report!
Brush: Parker Synth Brush
Bowl: Shave Nation
Lather: Proraso Red Soap (5)
Razor: Gillette 1959 E4 Settings: WTG:3-XTG:2-ATG:1
Blade: Astra Superior Stainless (1)
Razor: Gillette Styler
Post: Omega Alum Block
Post: Thayers Witch Hazel
Balm: Proraso Red

 

SNMIRN/Kai. 8 setting. Another enjoyable shave. Touch up on crown stubble with my single edge Barbasol NFH/Proline. I think what keeps this from being an A shaver rather than a strong B for me is not its mildness but its lack of rigidity. Unfortunately the cap won't hold on when using a shim . Only a problem in that one area so not an issue for most folks I'm guessing.

Shave of the Week Starting 21 June 2021

Pal 3 piece razor (British made)
GSB or Astra blade
Burma Shave Boar brush
Viking "Citron" SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Assorted A/S

Rummaging through my shave cabinet again and ran across this Pal razor. British made and aluminum, I didn't hold out high hopes that the shave would be anything special. Well, was I ever wrong! This is a really delightful, lightweight shaver that worked ever so well for me. The Burma Shave boar is nicely broken in and does a fine job building up a nice lather. The Viking "Citron" SS is a really fine product too. Not much left so I think I'll just keep using it till it's gone. Might take a couple three weeks but that's ok. Like I said, nice soap. So, my face is very happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

thank you Gary!
