No Variation November - A TSD Challenge

I see. Would a lighter handle help? I have several for you to choose from if you wish.

 

Thank You for the offer but I have all of the Weber Handles and ATT handles. But again thanks for the offer.

 

Progress 5
Astra SP
TOBS Grapefruit
Asylum Brush

Had a very nice three pass shave with the Progress set at 5. Some very minor irritation on the chin.

I new at this DE shaving - less than a year - and must admit a little confused. The more aggressive shave I have the better it is at least for today. Obviously I get a closer shave but there is less irritation. I guess I associated closeness with irritation but maybe that is not the case.

Have a great Sunday.

 

Sunday's


Dove Men Face Wash
Tabac Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #27 Silver Tip
Gillette Super Adjustable
Astra Super Platinum
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Rose Petal WH
Aqua Velva AS​

The Tabac Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #27 Silver Tip brush. Two passes with my Gillette Super Adjustable razor and an Astra Super Platinum blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Aqua Velva after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Twenty-second shave of No Variation NoVember.

Forgive me forum for I have sinned... Sort of.

I stated in my original post that I should only use witch hazel for my after shave needs. But for my last shave I used Kramperts Bay Rum lotion instead.

Granted, the primary ingredient is indeed witch hazel, so in theory I have not cheated. But it was not quite what I had in mind when I entered this "challenge" so I thought it prudent to disclose my indiscretion.

I guess it is safe to say I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.

 

Today was day 22 with the Feather AC SS and required some care. I mentioned Friday that I took the top of a scar off. The last two shaves have required a gentle touch not to remove Friday's scab. I have managed to continue getting a nice DFS while wondering If BBS will ever happen. I have eight more shaves this month to see. I can't wait for Different December
SOTD
The same as yesterday and the day before, and........zzzzzzz

 

Your forgive......be glad you didn't serve under Lt. Bligh or might have been keel hauled, more than likely recieved 50 lashes with a "Cat-O-Nine Tails" no pun intended.

 

After NOvember, what are you guys looking most forward to using? For me it's trying some different blades. Really want to give the GSB a good try and some other blade I received in a blade sampler. So what are you most excited to use after NOvember?

 

ANYTHING! No but seriously i cannot wait to try out a few injectors i recently acquired. Also some other soap.

I look forward to putting a lot of use to my Clubman products, as they seem to work better for me in colder weather. I'll still have my Rise stuff as well, of course. With the loooong winters here, both brands will surely come in handy.

 

Roseanne's old man was quite the talent.

 

Cher really broke down in her TV reaction to Sonny's death. With all she's done since, I'm glad she could remember the good times.

 

October was a blade focus for me where I tried 11 different blades in the same razor. This month is all one razor. I look forward to using many razors in December.

 

Day 22


Day four on the Chick blade and it was as good as the first. Two pass DFS, no touch ups req'd. Finished with CC North and L'Occitane Cade for a perfect afternoon of football.

 

Since Harvard beat Yale yesterday, Saturday was my perfect afternoon for feetball . But, nice shave description, Hodge.

 

If you ever change your mind, just PM me. Anthing I have would be a PIF.

 

Really looking forward to using this route 66 soap! It smells amazing and from what I've read performs great too.

 

Me too.....I think I may not use the same razor twice in December.

 

Saturday was hockey for me. My Canucks beat up on the Blackhawks bad........

 

I would like to go back to using my Weber or one of my ATT Razors. More than likely I will use my Schick Hydro 5 Razor. More likely to try that one for a change, It has almost the same features of my Gillette Pro-Glide Fusion.
