Oh dear, I don't think I have those, wouldn't know how to deal with those.

Hope you get well soon Joe, rest is good. 400 US for one ticket? Phew. Crowds.

@JACarbone many thanks Joe. Credit to the TSD team here, I am coming along fine.

Sunday evening shave, all set for tomorrow.



Growth: 34 hours
Lather Bowl: white
Brush: Ever-Ready 200. Not too pleased with this brush, the knot is denser than what I am used to. Not bad, it works, it's just different.
Razor: 46-47 Aristocrat
Blade: Gillette Stainless (1) First time use of, I happened to have one tuck of this somehow, let's give it a go. After all, a blade is a blade, right?
Usual Face Prep and Pre shave: ProRaso Green
Cream/Soap: April Arko. Prolonged heavy loading, still convex top to the puck. This will last a while.
Post Shave: HWR, CWR, Thayers.
Aftershave: Old Spice.

Passes:
1st pass: WTG and XTG.
2nd pass: XTG both ways
3rd pass needed, blade not so sharp really, it feels a bit like the GSB to me.
More Touch ups needed around chin, corners of mouth, under jaw. Lots of liberal buffing, XTG and ATG.
Happy to report lower right side of neck is coming along nicely, super smooth! How did I do that?

Results:
Nicks: None. Red spots: None
Alum burn: N/a

Success: Super BBS right side of cheek, top lip, right lower neck, multidirectional buffing and scooping.

Not the most efficient blade for the Aristocrat, but nice and safe all the same.

Residual stubble:
Left lower neck this time, had to circumnavigate one remnant pimple no damage done.

Rating: 7/10 for efficiency of the Razor & Blade combo. 9/10 for results!

Best wishes for the week ahead Ladies and Gents.

 

Absolutely Chris.

 

Terrific Sunday Shave Barry! Have an awesome afternoon!

 

Awesome Arko shave Chris! Enjoy your day!

 

They are tough to deal with Chris..may have to just stick with'em and do the best we can to make sure they don't increase.

 

Thank you joe.

Awesome Sunday shave. I could not have asked for better.

Happy Sunday everyone!

 

Much better shave this morning than yesterday. The main reason? Zeroes across the board on the Cuts, Knicks, Polka-dots theme of life As I said yesterday, that's what ruined a great shave for me-those things. Clean and fresh all around. I find myseof shaving in many directions down at Cactus(neck)to make sure all is good there. I did leave a few hairs down at the bottom of each sideburn. I'll kill'em tomorrow. Stoylin Unscented for the aftershave, and I closed with Mutamayez(Swiss Arabian)cologne. Super Duper Outstanding. Oh, by the way, I repeated with Sir Hare Soap.

 

You have my version of Old Spice, or as I call anything that clones Shulton "New Spice". -it's OK if it says "Classic".

 

Thanks Joe.

 

Wonderful shave Danny! Enjoy your Sunday!
