SoS: November 16, 2015 - November 22, 2015

It's not so much the blade gap but the exposure outside the top cap. I did a detailed write up on the 30 day thread. The short story is I got cut by the razor pretty good. It's been a long time since that has happened.

 

Nice I've been watching the Brutalt Bra soap ever since it came around, I'll put it on my list for 2017.

 

FRIDAY
Keeping with the C-MONs this week, broke out the vintage 'Cadillac' for this morning's shave. MdC lather and 4711 finish. Excellent shave!
Have a great Friday, all!

I decidedthat 12 days in a row with the same blade was enough. I was still giving nice shaves but I could feel a reduction in smoothness. Today I loaded a new Feather Professional blade and proceeded to get an extremely nice DFS two pass shave while removing the top of a scar. This blade is so sharp that I hardly felt it. Styptic powder wouldn't stop this one and I had to rely on tissue and pressure. Even with this little error, I was very happy with my shave and am really starting to like this razor.

I suffered a Homer Simpson idiot attack and inadvertently originally posted this in last week's thread. Doh!!

Thursday’s SOTD:

Prep: Hot shower (of course)

Soap: Stirling Executive Man

Brush: Semogue 1438

Razor: A 1955 Super speed delivered via Santa Rufus from the Secret Santa Date Code PIF. Filled with a fresh Feather blade.

AS: Cold Water Rinse, Which Hazel, followed by a dollop of Stirling Executive Man Aftershave Balm.

As always, I can get a great lather from the Stirling soaps. Easily three pass, plus of great rich lather; not to mention the scent.

This is the first shave with the Super speed as it Santa Rufus just dropped it on my doorstep Loaded with a Feather, I got a great three pass did a fourth jus for fun , irritation free shave. Yep, BBS to boot! Followed up with a rinse of cold water and witch hazel and finished with a healthy dose of the Stirling balm. Feeling clean, fresh and really blessed.
