    Good afternoon.

    1955 Gillette RedTip
    Gillette Wilkinson Sword DE (fresh)
    Rockwell Synthetic Brush
    Chiseled Face Cryogen SS
    Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS
    Stirling Alum Block
    Beard Growth: 23.5 hrs

    I decided to use my birth year RedTip to end the work week. I previously had a ShaverBoy blade with 5 shaves on it, but I decided to bin it because I remembered that it was a little rough. So, I exchanged it for a new Gillette Wilkinson Sword DE Blade. I was going to use my Proraso Green AS, but I broke the bottle by accidently moving my towel. It's OK because it was almost finished anyway. My first Proraso Green AS bottle broke a few years ago and now it happened again due to my clumsiness. Lol.
    Here's my lather:

    I did a 3 pass BBS shave, but caught a weep on my lower right neck. The cold water closed it, but I still hit it with the alum. The only major feedback was from the weep, but everywhere else was mostly silent. Splashed on the Aqua Velva Ice Blue aftershave and I am good to go for this evening. Take care.

    Superb shave this morning before a busy day doing errand with my mother and her cousin. Three passes with the Genco straight did the job. NY steel at its finest.

    Hope you all are able to stay cool.
