Shave of the Week Starting 30 Jan 2023 Parker 94r GSB WD Synthetic Lea or Palmolive Shave Stick Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe Various A/S Still on my shave stick journey and am going over my thoughts on Lea and Palmolive Shave Sticks. Have used both in the past and just need to try them again. When done with this weeks shave, I plan to do a comparison with my thoughts on each. Anyway, today's shave went ok. Close but not to comfortable. Not sure why but I'll try again tomorrow. Now go enjoy your day folks
Shave of the Week Starting 6 February 2023 Parker 78r razor Parker blade PAA Synthetic brush Dr Selby 3x SC (really a soap) Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe Various A/S Starting a new week with some tried and true products, for me at least. It will be a good week. Now go enjoy your day folks.
Shave of the Week Starting 13 February 2023 Gillette Fatboy EuroMax blade AP Shave brush TSD 2X Lemongrass SS Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe TSD 2X Lemongrass A/S Awhile back I asked the group if Fatboy's were worth the presesnt asking prices. Lots of good replies but thought I should find out for myself. So I got a couple of them and tried one this morning. I have to say that, with this combo of things, I got a superb shave. DFS+ in 2 passes and it was easy and very comfortable. So this one was worth the price on first use, time will tell when I try other blades. My face is very happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.
Shave of the Week Starting 2/20/2023 Everything is the same EXCEPT razor. Since I have 2 Fatboys, I used a different one this week. Both are E4's but shave differently. Last week I had to set the razor to 5 to get the desired result. This week, with all the same products, I had to set the razor to 4 to get the desired result. Setting this weeks razor to 5 was uncomfortable. Go figure. However, both are doing well.
Shave of the Week Starting 2/27/2023 Henson +++ razor Astra SP blade Maggard Purple Swirl Synthetic brush Blues Shave Soap Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe Various A/S Very nice shave to start the week. The Blues SS lathered easily and provided great protection. Smells nice too. The Henson is such an easy razor to use, at least for me it is. Nice, close and comfortable shave which is what we're all looking for. Now go enjoy your day folks. Tried to load pic but for some reason can't . Sorry about that.
Shave of the Week Starting 6 March 2023 Schick E3 razor Personna blade Shave Revolution Brush Mama Bear Lime Ice Shave Stick Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe Various A/S Long time since I've used one of my injectors. Shame on me cuz they really work well. Going to run through my Shave Sticks again, make notes this time, and then post my comments on them later. But as for today/this week, all the items worked well together and a fine fine shave was had. And the Lime Ice Shave Stick has a REAL menthol kick, like it lots. At any rate my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.
Shave of the Week Starting 3/13/2023 Pearl Blaze razor Euromax blade Lea Shave Stick LaToja Shave Stick Plisson/L'Occitane brush Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe Various A/S Giving myself choices this week by alternating Shave Sticks. Started with the LaToja and it worked well. Easily lathered and gave nice face feel when the shave completed. I know the Lea better having used it more often and it works above its price point for me. Looking forward to a week of great shaves. If it doesn't work, I'll let you know. But for now, my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.
Shave of the Week Starting 3/20/2023 Parker Variant razor Treet 7 Days blade PAA Synthetic brush Mama Bear's Raspberry Shave Stick Nivea Shave Steak Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe Various A/S Another week with shave sticks and another week or alternating use. Started with the Mama Bear Raspberry one. Terrific scent but that was about it. Didn't get a very good lather. Maybe the brush had an impact so I'll try an AP Shave cashmere one tomorrow.. Anyway, it's a start. Now go enjoy your day folks.
