Day 27 - DEcember 2015

Shave Den Sunday!



I have this shave planned for after the Green Bay game. Miserably cold today! Great indoor weather. Really looking forward to the FB today! @wristwatchb knows how to pick nice razors! Soap is Iced Subzero, AS is Barber Shoppe. The sample size AS are a great way to expand your collection. Other than that...all is quiet in Colorado!


Have a Great Sunday!

Shave Den Sunday

My 30-day focus begins tomorrow. I just wanted to try some NOS DE blades that I received during the holiday. I won’t get a chance to use them very soon otherwise, as I’m planning injector comparisons for the first few months of the year.

I tried this blade on New Year’s Day in my birth quarter Gillette Red Tip and was impressed. I needed to try it in my favorite DE today.

Hot Shower
Soap: TSD Unscented
Brush: Ever-Ready ICS Badger Black/Lucite
Razor: Gillette New LC
Blade: Personna 74* NOS (Shave 2)
TSD Witch Hazel
TSD Aftershave Milk
TSD Acqua di Gio



The first shave with this blade was on a 3-day growth. It took me awhile to coax the blade out of the dispenser. I was impressed with the first-pass reduction that day.

Today was a 2-day growth, 2-pass shave.
This is a sharp, smooth blade even if it’s over 40 years old! Six hours later my face is soft and smooth. I have had shaves just as good though.

I think the conventional wisdom on the value of this blade was the number of great shaves one could get on a single blade - I’ve seen some claims of over 20 shaves per blade! Back when all blades cost about the same, it may have been a great value. But today, with the cost of these NOS blades very inflated, it may not be worth it with so many solid, less expensive blades out there - on a cost per shave basis.

Cheers!

Uh... Looks like I misunderstood the point of this thread. So what else is new?

 

This is Sunday, that is a shave den!
