May 29 SOTM Good morning. Shavette Shave #457 Wilkinson Sword 1/2 DE Blade (fresh) JR #290 Cashmere Brush Cella SS Old Spice AS Stirling Alum Block Beard Growth: 36 hrs I decided to shave this morning so that I look clean for my picnic with my single's group this afternoon. I need to do my cardio and pick some stuff up before I head out so it was important to get the shave done at this time. Last minute, I decided to do a headshave because I made enough lather as you can see here: I used my Mühle R102 to shave my 2 days growth with a second use of a Wilkinson Sword Blade. Again, I didn't include it in my setup because it was an afterthought. Anyway, 2 passes on my face and dome gave me a BBS shave without any errors. The alum was silent so it definitely was a comfortable shave. The Old Spice splashed on my face and head was the cherry on top for this session. Stay safe today.
Rating: 5 / 5 Razor: Target Generic Cartridge Brush: Ever Ready 200T Lather: Lather Bros. Calle Ocho Aftershave: PAA Atomic Age Bay Rum Final Travel Shave-Another nice lather provided by the 200T and the Calle Ocho. A very close and comfortable shave, however, I know by early afternoon the stubble will reappear earlier than I am accustomed to. No big deal. Tomorrow’s shave with the Double Duck Goldedge will set everything right. Those of you in the US of A enjoy your Memorial Day. Hopefully, the weather will be cooperative for the unofficial start of Summer. Everyone, have a wonderful day.
I like the decision I made yesterday pertaining to Hub City's PAGES product. Pasteur's Pharmacy had the aftershave on sale(Mem. Day). so I bought it. Later in the year I want to get the soap, but I'll order that directly from Hub City Soaps. This way I can test out the scent, so as to be ready to make the soap purchase.
Very pleased with my shave this morning. Closed out(until next time) the prep-Dove Men Care(or whatever the name is lol)bodywash(in shower) .shave-Stoylin Shep soap brush-Stoylin li'l brudder razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE A.S.-Mennen Skin Bracer and the only negative issue was a cut at N.W. Porcupine Alley. It was worse at the beginning than it turned out in the end, but it still remains. Clearly the best shave of the three days with this group. 2 passes. Super Duper Outstanding.
Looks like a 70s Gillette Black Beauty based on the plastic bottom. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
So ended up buying the black beauty Gonna clean her up. Might consider re selling it but we will see. If not might end up in someone’s PIF Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
After a good deep clean. She looks good. Honestly for the condition she is in it was practically a steal for 10 bucks. Could have easily paid 70 dollars for one in this condition on eBay. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
