30 Day Rule/Focus, May 2025. All Are Welcome!

-Thursday-
canadian 1935 norfolk de luxe
yaqi silvertip
london gin club



good morning gents
3rd outing with the canadian norfolk de luxe,this time with a gillette platinum blade.
fine gin club lather built with the yaqi silvertip
smooth 2 passer,north to south,south to north,minor pickups
cold water rinse,gents gin splash
gummy face shave.no dots or burn like the first outing
i doubled up on the splash ie"clubman gents gin" as this is an alcohol based afteshave,and
this product really speaks to you if your technique is off
matching splash to finish,lovely post shave
awesome
***
i think this razor likes the platinum blade the best so far,
though it seems most of my gillettes like this blade lately.
i have several razors in rotation,at least 7,and all with a variety of blades,
so the face is used to anything from wilkinson sword to nacet,
vintage spoiler to 7 oclock blue/black.
7 oclock green and yellows are best red tip and adjustable blades for me..
and so on..
still enjoying my beloved gillettes,but still careful with a select few..
***
have a fantastic day everyone

Pretty good Throwback shave on this Thursday. After aa "shake and dunk" job, the Gillette came out nice and cloud-like, the way all foams SHOULD(IMO). Setup was great over the face&neck, but not so the shave itself, as I had a cut along the jawline just above Central Cactus Nation. I think the cut threw me off from making sure there were no misses at the sideburn areas(there were on BOTH sides). One pass. Fine Latigo(dupe of Knize 10)for the close, and THAT went well. Fairly Outstanding. Must do better tomorrow, with same arsenal.

 

Another superb shave set up Gary.

 

thank you so much Barry..
