SoS: November 16, 2015 - November 22, 2015

I like it, a lot. it smells very nice. it's hard to keep from sniffing it.
the scent is amazing, but the performance is equally amazing. it makes lather that's rich and slick. my face feels soft and moisturized.
it's top shelf for sure.

 

I'll be more careful tomorrow after getting bit today.

 

I've near seen a gold plated President, but that's what it looks like to me. Could be wrong.

 

In this link, the knurling was different during different time periods. http://www.razorarchive.com/the-history-and-evolution-of-the-us-gillette-aristocrat

 

Thanks. Good info.

 

Whenever I struggle with my selection for tomorrow's shave I always come back here for inspiration. I found it!

 

Today's Shave

Prep: hot shower
Brush: Omega 13522
Soap: Arko
Razor: '46 - '50 Gillette Tech
Blade: Astra SP
Post: Wind Song Acres bay rum aftershave, Nivea balm

Got going extra early this morning as I had a presentation at school today and wanted to get a great shave. 2 passes, nice and smooth. Except for the caterpillar growing on my lip. Doing the Movember thing this year. It's starting to drive me crazy but I'm hanging in there. Seems to irritate the corners of my mouth as the day goes on.

 

The President in gold is called the Diplomat

 

Okay thanks. Live and learn.

 

I'm hoping Santa brings me one this year. Actually, I'd take either one but I'd really like a Diplomat

 

Come on Santa.

 

I bought a bottle in June of 2014

 

Good info.
I think I'll shave with my diplomat tomorrow.

NOVember - NO Variation

November 20

Razor - Feather SS AC Pain Stick
Blade - (2)
Soap - Mitchell's Wool Fat
Post - Cold Water, Alum, Nivea

Two thirds of the way through the November Rule No Variation November and all's well. I did a single pass this morning due to a meeting that normally doesn't happen on Fridays. So one pass to a CCS and off I went. One pass really isn't an issue anymore. The only downside is the CCS finish but today I didn't care. Alum was very quiet with only one pass so I threw on the Veg afterward as well. Mmmmmmmmm good. Here's to the start of the weekend!

 

Saturday's


Dove Men Face Wash
Tabac Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #27 Silver Tip
Gillette Super Adjustable
Astra Super Platinum
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Rose Petal WH
Aqua Velva AS

The Tabac Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #27 Silver Tip brush. Two passes with my Gillette Super Adjustable razor and an Astra Super Platinum blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Aqua Velva after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Twenty-first shave of No Variation NoVember.

Saturday



Very nice shave this morning. A bit menthol in the shower with my face wash and then the lovely scent of Cella afterwards.
Decided to use my Shavemac and it delivered in every aspect possible in what to expect from a high standard Silvertip.
