Wonderful shave Gary!

thank you Joe,good afternoon..

 

thank you Joseph..

 

It's kind of a shame on Sn-Th I shave in the PM before bed, kind of wastes a BBS shave! I guess the AM status is positively affected though due to a better starting point.

Straight Razor Shave #193

Wostenholm 5/8 Full Hollow Sq Pt
Rockwell Model T (6) is not pictured
Rockwell DE Blade (1)
JR #396 Silvertip Badger Brush
Stirling Piacenza SS and AS

I have been shaving everyday for almost 3 weeks so why spoil the streak. Lol! The JR 396 is really a lather maker. I made a slightly drier lather, but still wet and slick enough to shave. I have to say this razor is something else. It is on its 37th shave since I put it on the films and it still is so sharp that it takes my short whiskers off without any effort on my part. After one pass on a 27 hr beard, I could have stopped and end it. Pass two gave me a BBS -. So, I decided to go in on a 3rd full pass I have not done a third pass since my early straight shaving days. Finished that pass and did some minor touch ups to get a BBS shave that would pass the cotton test except in one area. That area had minimal invisible hairs. Unfortunately, wouldn't you know that on my last stroke of the shave, I get a weepie. Lol! Styptic to the rescue! However, there wasn't any irritation, so 2 out of 3 aint bad according to Meatloaf. Finished this fine shave with the Piacenza aftershave.

I had a great face and neck shave that I decided to headshave. I needed it because I hadn't done so since last Friday night. However, I decided to use my Rockwell Model T for the job. I placed a new Rockwell blade and was ready to go. 3 passes and minor touchups gave me a BBS chrome dome. Now, I am smooth above my shoulders. Have a great afternoon guys!

 

Thanks Jeff.....will probably come back with it tomorrow.

 

Great looking "Blue" shave Gary. Love the photo.

 

Hi Gary.....right now I need to participate in an "Ice Bucket Challenge" somewhere....you freeze yourself for charity.

Superb shave and report, Joe!

 

Joe...sliding off from shaving for a bit...our teams go against each other in the Summer Hockey Playoffs. May the best win.

 

Thanks Andrew! There's nothing like shaving with a smooth and sharp straight razor, especially when it is honed by your own hand.

 

thank you Clint,was a fine shave..

 

Great shave kit, PierPaolo, with your beloved General front and center.

 

Thanks, Gary! Good afternoon!

 

Gorgeous photo, Gary, with the usual stellar Gillette Razor in pride of place! Great perspective in your staging; your photography just gets better and better!
