Greetings,

Early morning Shave,

Every traditional wet shaver should experience shaving with a slant bar razor. I for one was very hesitant about purchasing one, thinking you had to master a entirely different shaving method, because of the slant angle, how stupidly mistaken i was, on my maiden shave with both the 37c & it's bigger sister the 39c became a instant joy to shave with.

An enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh Moisturising Gel.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

 

Tabac Tuesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shaving Soap
Semogue Owners Club
SlimGem 3D Injector
Personna SS Injector
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel

The Tabac Shaving Soap lathered well with the Semogue Owners Club boar brush. Two passes and touch ups with the SlimGem 3D Injector Razor and the Personna SS Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Tuesday morning:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Canadian Tech/Rapira day 7
Captain Nemo Shepherd SS
Aveeno Moisturizer
Hega AS Splash
Fahrenheit EdT

These Captain Nemo soaps from India are really nice - my friend Abir sure knows what he’s doing. His Shepherd soap comes in two formulations and this one contains lavender essential oil which gives it a very pleasant scent. Unfortunately tallow cannot be used in India because of what I would say are laws concerning the Hindu religion but the lather of this soap is excellent and it gives lots of slickness as well as protection against dryness. The Aveeno moisturizer is unscented so it works great as a balm, and the Hega aftershave from Sweden has a neutral scent so it doesn’t clash with any fragrance, and it gives a nice cool feeling. Another terrific three pass BBS shave that I enjoyed so much!

Wishing everyone a beautiful day - be well and stay safe!

Gillette ‘58 D2 Tech, Stando Svarga Handle / Nacet / Oumo 28mm SILK/Manchuria / DG Fake Yellow Light Shave Soap & AS
This post-war tech is the mildest razor I own. The heavy brass handle adds a little muscle.​

 

Preshave: Hot shower
Soap: Cremo Original
Blade: Perma-Sharp
Razor: Rockwell 6C (R2 plate)
Post shave: Gillette Gel
First time using the Perma-Sharp and, wow, was I impressed even with the Rockwell on a very mild setting. Still got a great shave, albeit not the closest one ever. And Cremo is so slick and good.

I had breakfast at the Senior Center and then played some guitar with friends there for 3 hours. I introduce 3 new songs today by John Prine. I am getting pretty clean with my finger-picking now.

 

Good one, Jim.
