    :happy088: We should shave, to save our faces. I was a 1 pass + clean up shaver 5 days a wk, for 35+ years (my teaching career). Who had time for more?

    1/27/2016 Way Back Wednesday!

    Prep: Hot shower with Neutrogena Face Wash with menthol, home made PSO
    Razor: Gillette Red Tip, Friodur Inox 70 1/2 straight razor
    Blade: PolSilver Super Iridium (4)
    Brush: Turkish #6
    Soap: Cella
    After: Home made ASB, Stetson cooling after shave lotion

    I had to reach Way Back into the cabinet to get the Cella and the Stetson this morning. This set up gave me a 2 pass Darn Fine Shave.

    Have a blessed day!

    today
    hot water wash with nuetrogena men's invigorating face wash and a washcloth
    Semouge 620
    The Shave Den signature bay rum and bergamot
    Eaton 85 Diamond Edge 5/8 full hollow spike
    ICED virgin island bay rum
    today's shave was nice enough(cept for the blood). I had pressed my shave den soap into a mug from the shave stick. the semouge made nice lather. I made three passes with the Diamond Edge. I cut myself during the first pass. certainly made the bay rum burn a bit.

    well probably not that badly. all in all it wasn't a bad shave.
    hope y'all did as well, or better.

    I wouldn't say guillotine for the Futur, but certainly for a slant like Der Vorschlaghammer!

    Odin's day: Day 15 of my second round of blade testing

    Prep:     Hot Shower, Nivea Moisturizing Face Wash
    Brush: @Jayaruh Cholula Travel Badger
    Lather: RazoRock One-X croap
    Razor: 1971 1st quarter Gillette Black Handle SS
    Blade: Personna Red Israeli (3)
    Passes: WTG, XTG, XTG (7, 8, 9)
    Post: Cold water rinse, Bloc Osma alum, Thayer's Witch Hazel pad, RazoRock One-X aftershave splash
    Cologne: -

    Clearly, I have got to work on dialing in the water ratios for my Jayaruh brushes, before they get relegated to show pieces; the lather was good for two passes, but was starting to get too thin on the 3rd. Because the Black Handle SS is my mildest razor, any minor weeper or nick that I get - as I did today, on the 2nd pass - that I cannot attribute to a spasm or a lack of concentration on my part tells me the blade is not a good fit for my needs. So it may be with the Red Israeli, though I'll try the other blade in the sampler before I come to that conclusion, in case there is variance in QC. On the plus side, the shave is as close to BBS results as I can get without an ATG pass.
