Friday NOvember 22

No Repeat (mostly) NOvember. No repeats so far except for scuttle, blades, and alum. Up today, one of my Heljestrand lather catchers with a Heljestrand wedge blade.

Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
Soap - Barristers Reserve Cool
Brush - ThatDarnRob 26mm
Blade - CV Heljestrand Wedge (3)
Razor - CV Heljestrand lather catcher
Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Barristers Reserve Cool A/S

Shave rating 4.5 of 5

It was a tale of two passes. Didn't shave yesterday so shaving on 2 days growth. First pass WTG felt like I was pulling each whisker out. Thought I would have to stop and switch razors and blades. Finished the first pass and my face still felt like 60 grit sandpaper. I don't know why but decided to keep using razor and blade for 2nd pass. Relathered and did 2nd pass ATG and what a difference. This pass was smooth and everything was cut except my face. Finished the 2 passes DFS+. Maybe the blade could use a touch up on the 20k hone but it really shouldn't after 3 shaves. Anyway, love the scent of this soap and A/S but for some reason, I don't use it much. I thought the alum would be vocal but it was surprisingly silent. As noted, the A/S smells nice.

Happy NOvember and great shaves everyone.

This was my first use of both razors and the new boar brush I just finished making the other day.

Razor #1 Henkels Rapide with carbon blade and wedge adapter.
Razor #2 Hoshitombo Japanese straight razor.
Brush Gaboon ebony and maple with 28mm boar.
Soap Tabac
Aftershave witch hazel splash

Very close comfortabl shave I think I prefer SS blades but I like carbons too. These are two great razors and the Henkels is particularly good for the back of the neck cleanup with its wonderfully long handle.

 

Supply V2 / 3 dot plate, Personna blade, shave 1


As I suspected my prior shave with the Proline was a dud because the blade was done. This shave was a BBS finish like I've gotten out of this plate in the past. Next up to use the Schick L1 and L9 again to see if those shaves were outlier bad shaves because of the blade being no good.

 

fantastic shave and pic Ken..cool brush..love the barristers..

Am continuing a run of excellent Injector Shaves, as they have been so good there is less stubble regrowth for the days Shave. The F may not be so aggressive as previous Razors used, so Shave Time may be a little longer than other others but the finished Shave is good. Actually the handle is so ergonomically shaped and great to hold that extra Shave Time does not seem to matter.

 

Nice shave James

Saturday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Jayaruh #313
Eversharp G
Personna
CWR
Cella After Shave

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #313 Badger Brush. I did two passes and a cleanup with the Eversharp G razor with a Personna blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Cella After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
