Focus Slim Al shavette
Astra SP snapped (fresh)
Dscosmetics brush handle with Shave Forge horse hair brush.
Cella soap and matching aftershave splash

Awesome Cella soap and it is easy to whip up. The horse hair is a little floppy but it gets the job done.

Very nice two pass shave with no blood loss. The Slim is a joy to use and I appreciate Bill @Edison Carter letting me drive it. The alum was a little warm in a few spots but nothing unbearable.

I hope every one has a great Wednesday!

DE SOTD, Wednesday, July 21st 2021

Razor: Razorock Game changer .84- Mfg 2018, tame mid range, I enjoy this razor with a Kai SS extra wide blade(9/1000 inch wider)
Blade: Kai SS extra wide(9), sharp and smooth, excellent longevity for sure. 9/1000 or 4.5/1000 inch per side. Nice to have a tuck or 2 for your milder razors.
Soap: Razorock Don Marco, nice citrus scents with excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi 24mm Atlantis, Great lather generator, cloud like soft tips, great scrubber+ great lather painter.
Pre shave: Brush wash my whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: witch hazel + Nivea refreshing AS + Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + not weepers = excellent shave with my RR GC.84 + a Kai SS blade.


Have some great shaves!

Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

Greetings

Here we go again for another "Throwback Thursday":

prep-Nivea 4 Men Bodywash(Fresh)in shower
shave-Gillette Foamy Menthol*
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot + DisposeABLE
A.S.-Royal Copenhagen**

*from the same company that kicked off regular Gillette Foamy in 1949
**launched in 1940, but there were R.C. colognes back in 1775. That is 14 years before George Washington became President. Boy, is that a throwback?! Without the 18th century business success, we wouldn't be enjoying Royal Copenhagen aftershave today. I would have to guess that from 1775-1940 there were a few adjustments.

 

Who makes that Agua Brava?

 

Karve D/Gillette New SC. Feather, MDC. Results about equal, the Karve noticeably smoother in getting there.

The Schick D was the first injectable Schick razor and provides a stand-out, very smooth shave. They are gold plated and mine has been stripped down to the brass. Nonetheless it was a super enjoyable shave

PS - anyone know a good person to replate this beauty?
