    27 OCTOBER 2024 Sunday Shave

    27 Oct 2024 1800 90.jpg

    3 days growth

    Gillette New short OC
    Gillette Wilkinson (1) made in China
    T&H Sandalwood
    Vulfix Pure Badger
    Fine Latigo

    Lovely two passes with judicious buffing as needed
    The Wilkinson blade seemed both sharp and smooth, not the same as my others, but to be fair I don’t normally go to 3 days growth. Will see how it behaves in my next shaves with it

    I have found that when a blade starts to feel like it’s jumping around it can be due to
    1, a dull blade
    2, lather not slick enough or too dry
    3, razor too light and jumping around
    4, not enough pressure to keep the blade engaged
    5, going ATG too early on in the shave

    Once again I am smooth, presentable and refreshed on a lovely Sunday Spring day in Perth WA
    Hope you all had a great weekend!

    Definitely a "Technique Trumps Tools" shave today, but overall a real nice result. Hub City Soap Co. is based out of Lubbock, TX, owned by a nice-looking family who has a dog. (I'm sure the dog enjoys being part-owner, chuk yuk yuk). When done right, you can get a great shave from the soap and A.S. I used Pages, which shows a leather-bound book, indicating there's good leather in the product. A minute at the Loading Dock, followed by a fine, comfortable shave in most areas. I didn't do good enough with the jawline under BOTH ears, thus my "Technique" should have been better, but otherwise no problems. Good close from the Pages A.S. Most Oustanding.

    Love the EdP. I find it to be a wonderful scent with lasting sillage. Excellent shave Barry.
