30 Day Rule/Focus; December 2024. All Are Welcome.

Beautiful setup and shave Joe.

 

I didn't think a horse hair brush was stiffer than a boar brush.

 

You know, I was going to say aw shucks too, but decided against it. Lol!

 

Thanks Joe.

 

December 4 SOTE

Good evening

Shavette Shave #591
Dovo
Personna Hairshaper Blade (19)
MrEE Tuxedo Brush
Music City Suds Lavender and Ever Amen SS and AS
Stirling Alum Block
Personal Care Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 35.5 hrs



I decided to do a rare late night shave and went with my trusty Dovo. Also, I went with the lavender scented Music City Suds Soap.
It's a masculine lavender frag. I didn't need much soap to make a nice, slick lather. Here's my lather:



Three delightful error-free passes gave me a BBS shave. Since the Personna blade is not as sharp as a fresh blade, I decided to do a Fool's Pass on my third pass. Of course, it went well.

I had very little alum feedback. Splashed on the witch hazel and the matching aftershave to finish this session. I will do a headshave tomorrow morning. Take care.

 

cool shavette shave and picS Joe.

 

Thank you Gary.

 

That's a gorgeous vintage Gillette, Gary! Looks almost mint.

 

Great shave setup and report, Joe!

Definitely a razor falling outside Gillette's normal design parameters.

 

Nice! I really like that brush, btw.
