August 23 Head and Face Shave

Good afternoon.

Rockwell 6C (5)
Super Max Blue Diamond DE Blade (fresh, 2)
JR #290 Cashmere Synthetic Brush
Seaforth Sea Spice Lime SS and AS
Stirling Alum Block
Lucky Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 3.25 Days
Dome Turf: 6 Days



Did a 3 pass shave on the dome and a 2 passer on the face and neck. The result was a cueball smooth dome and a BBS shave on the face and neck. However, did get a chin weeper. The Super Max blade feels like it's not cutting the beard, but it is quite efficient. I would say it's sharp, but very smooth.
Did get Alum feedback on my neck and nape. Finished with my usual post shave routine. I will reply to all your posts later this evening. Take care.

fine spiced lime shave and pic Joe

I had this I can't feel the blade cutting issue yesterday of my original era of modern King C Gillette blade from 2020 and why I had the cut on my moustache. Still a great shave. I always take Saturday or Sunday off from shaving unless I have to go to work then I pick my day off or a very short work day.

I will just check with the judges waiting on a decision………
We’ve received clarification from the judges. Your score of 9 1/2 stands

Beautiful setup Joe.

Thanks Gary. It's a wonderful scent.

thank you Joe.

Greetings,

Relaxing Sunday Morning Shave.

I really like the Ach Brito Mogno Shaving Soap it creates a nice creamy slick protective lather in a short space of time. The residual slickness is excellent leaving a superb post-shave making my mature skin feel soft & moisturized after the shave.

Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Milton Lloyd Essentials No.15 EdP to the pulse points.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

Thank you Gary.

awesome sunday shave Barry.

Oh right, I was thinking of this one...

thanks Gary

Nice going Joe, not a fan of the Super Max then?

Thanks Joe

Great ending shave Barry. Wonder why there are two "b" s in Anbbas?

Anything goes Artisan Australian

1 Day growth

Time for a change up ....

Found a good discount on the Gillette Lab at the Shaver Shop last week

After @Trigger Joe’s comment earlier about the Schick M1 behaving like a cartridge razor, and previously inspired by post by @ischiapp, I bit the bullet and took the Gillette home

https://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/best-multi-blade-razor.13689/page-2






Cold water prep
Derby Menthol into the moistened Pura Setola
Face lathered, adding more cold water as needed

2 very interesting passes with the Gillette Lab (2025 !)

Almost cleaned up after the 1st pass
2nd pass left me practically BBS both ways

This razor reacts differently obviously because of the mobile head and five blades, but so far I am impressed. This one might convert me back to cartridges, or at the very least be good for travel shaves. Quick and easy.

I had a surprisingly good post shave feel: I must have been underestimating the Derby shave cream which, in the past I have only been using it as a pre-shave. Or maybe it was the “slime strip” quoted in the above thread?

Lovely clean shave, held back on the scents today before church

It will be interesting to see how long this cartridge razor stays sharp.

Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayer’s rose petal
ASL = Clubman Reserve Whiskey woods
ASB = TOBS Royal Forest
Scent = Bulgari Wood Essence

No damage, no half point deductions

As close to a 10 as I could possibly get, I guess. Must say I am suprised

Still counts for wet shaving though!
