    Nice, sophisticated goo shave this morning with Barbasol. I squeezed out enough from the can for 2 passes, but stuck with the one. In future shaves, I may experiment with varying the grain direction. I do that anyway on North Porcupine Alley(under the nose). Against on the edges, With down the middle. I could have done better up there this morning, but it can wait til tomorrow. Cheeks&sideburns fine. Ditto jawline. Cactus Nation was all right, but I could have done better. Perhaps too much focus around Ingrown Swamp to skip other sections. Th good news is No Cuts, No Knicks, No Polka-dots. Very Excellent.

    saturday
    g-4 slim
    platinum
    semogue 830
    taconic
    chiseled face

    [​IMG]

    good morning gents
    trouble free 2 passer with the slim on #4..
    nice weight and balance,smooth and efficient..but boring..
    like a slant 6 dart or 60's sedan,gets the job done.
    yes,many folks think a tech is like that also-pedestrian in manner,
    but a tech takes a little more technique to achieve the result,without the racing stripes.
    not a fan of the slim aesthetically,or it's longer handle.
    same goes for most any gillette 1960 or up.
    marks a time of ..cheaper;)

    lovely taconic lather built with the solid semogue 830 boar
    chiseled
    face natural aftershave to finish.feel the burn..:D

    awesome.
    have a great day everyone.

    Great Gillette shave Gary! I certainly understand why you think that way. I prefer my Fatboy over my Slim.

    IMG_20220402_210842_145.jpg Shave 17/30. I wasn't going to shave this weekend, but I just could not skip it. I did not shave the moustache area to avoid reopening the nick I had last time.
    I shaved right after the sauna, which happens to be the best prep for me. It was a cold water shave, as usual, and everything went very well.

    Have a great evening, gentlemen!

    Excellent shave, pic and setup. Before I saw your post, I already picked my setup for tomorrow's shave. I will be using my Semogue Super Badger Brush.

    Thanks, Joe! Semogue makes some great brushes. Haven't tried a badger though, but I'm sure it's a fantastic brush!

    thank you Joe.i've had a couple of fatboy razors and passed them on.i like the slim over the fatboy due to the slimmer head-under nose shaving-techs are the best for this imo.but having a trimmed goatee now deems that somewhat irrelevant. I still like a single purpose razor,coffee flavored coffee.etc.not a one razor fits all approach.. keeps the skill in check..;)
