June 19, 2016 SHAVE DEN SUNDAY Happy Fathers Day to all! Time for a Sunday drive with my new 1912 Gem Damaskeene. I've also been encouraged to try it with stropped blades. So with a well-intentioned nudge from @twhite (as well as some NOS blades and a stropper he PIF'd to me) my less-than manly mechanical skills will be challenged yet again. Hot shower, cold-water shave. Razor: 1912 Gem Damaskeene Blade: NOS EverReady Corrux Brush: Rubberset 400-4 Soap: TSD Yin Yang TSD Witch Hazel AS: TSD Yin Yang Cheers! RT
Shave Den Sunday June 26: Stirling Synthetic Brush TSD Lanolin Egyptian Spice Scheon Burg 665 Stirling Unscented PSB Clubman Vanilla AS
Sunday Shave Brush- RazoRock Tri-Colored Razor- The Bunny with Wild comb and Schick Type G Blade- Schick (2) Soap- Stirling Barbershop Post Care- Crystal Alum Thayers Witch Hazel with grapefruit EO and M-Bomb Pinaud Bay Rum Florida Water with M-Bomb Final shave with the Bunny, it's been a pleasure to try and I'll miss it. Same equipment as the last shave except I switched sides. The Bunny got my left side, the Type G got the right. As usual, the Stirling produced a wonderful lather with possibly my favorite scent. I did three passes again and here's the result. First pass was WTG with both and I had great reduction, I like how audible the Bunny is and how easy it is to clean out. The Type G makes it easier to get into tight spots because of its head size however I still prefer the Bunny. Second pass I went XTG, the Bunny finished this pass closer than the Schick. Third pass was ATG and I'm left with a BBS with the Bunny, DFS with the Schick. The Bunny just gets closer. There was a little bit of feedback from the alum on my left side, zero from the Schick. Even with the feedback the Bunny still wins. I'm definitely smoother on my left side. I think with a little cleanup I'd be BBS with the Schick so that is comforting me since the Bunny moves on tomorrow. Have a great day folks!
