Day Two of the Cella Gemini shave. Identical performance as yesterday. One minor change, which I am allowed, was to include the TI straight as it always gets the honor of the shave on the hundred. This is straight razor shave # 700.
The next two shaves, representing the Gemini theme, will feature the Enders Speed razor. The soap, splash and brush will be decided on later this evening.

The clouds are burning off and the humidity is increasing. Time to finish up the outdoor chores before I become a major league sweat ball.

I hope you all have a great day gentlemen.

Thank you Gary.

Yep and thank you Jeff

Very nice Fat Shave Ken

Thank you Joe.

Wonderful Ace of Spades shave Joe.

Theodore would be awestruck by the Great Outdoors. He talks to animals he sees outdoors sometimes. One day he was laying in the dining room window when a fishercat went past. He talked to it and it kept coming back! Fishercats will kill and eat a cat. After it made the third pass of the window, I had to go outdoors and fire a few shots at it to run it off.

I LOVE them fat brushes! LOL I really like my Simpson Trafalgar T3

Cooler here today with a NW wind bringing in cool Canadian air.

I will repeat the shave tomorrow with the Bay Rum soap and the Bay Rum AS. I have 2 new razors arriving today so, one will be the shaver for tomorrow's shave.

RAD...

Well, at least I'm off the hook(chuk yuk yuk yuk)

I think I have all the bases covered now. I have 6 brushes! The last brush was part of a "Lot" of shaving stuff. All I wanted was the razor! LOL
But, I did manage to restore the brush to usable again. I probably will buy another large brush similar to my Trafalgar T3. It is the only brush of it's size that I own and I really do like the bigger brush. Maybe another synthetic like the T3.

One of the razors arriving is the Gillette 1930s LONG comb open comb. The second is the Fatip Grande open comb

Congrats on your 700th straight razor shave Joe! It's always a great shave with Cella. Have a good day.

Thanks Joe.

Very nice shave, pic, setup and post Gary. I like overall color scheme. Take care.

I only use my dominant hand when I shave with a safety razor.
However, I find using both hands while using a straight or a shavette is much easier for me.

I am learning that too, Joe. My technique gets better with every DX shave.

Here it is forSat. (4th).

*-I'll announce as I do the report tomorrow. It's going to be either Mennen Skin Bracer or Stoylin Glacial Lime.

Joe, if the ball rolls into the pool, does Hercules jump in and get it?

You will get to the point where it will become second nature so that you won't have to think about it. However, shaving on autopilot sometimes will cause a nick because you can become unfocused for that split second.
