Adjustable August Slim-apalooza
30-Day Focus - Gillette Slim Adjustable
What did you learn from your shave today? Plenty!
Soap/lather, done right, makes all the difference.
Pre-dinner shave.
View attachment 74771
Hot Shower
Pre-Shave Oil: Gingers Garden
Soap: Arko (homemade travel stick)
Brush: ? An unknown synthetic (no markings)
Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (1)
After Shave: Proraso Green
Slim settings at:
9 - WTG
9 - ATG
No touch-up or repeat strokes. This is as much about technique as it is about finding the best settings on this razor for me.
This was a great shave.
Took yesterday's advice from @
Bama Samurai And it worked perfectly!
- skipped the pre shave oil
- Ultra faceloaded Arko (like Tom Sawyer whitewashing a fence!)
- water application to the base of my dry synthetic brush as needed
- face lather
Wow.
Clean, close, comfortable, smooth.
Cheers!
