Shave of the Week

I won't be doing a SotW this time around. Going in for surgery and not sure what will be going on for sure. I'll be back at it as soon as I can

 

Oh I see...this is what you'll do ALL WEEK. I thought it was your FAVORITE shave of the week.

 

Correct. Poppi suggested something along these lines in post #1 of this thread. Sort of a mini-focus month deal. Also a good way to whittle down the stash.

 

Good luck Poppi. That positive attitude of yours will go a long way!

 

I'm Back! And next week's Shave of the Week will be:

Weber DLC razor
Astra SP blade
JR #85 brush
Taconic Eucalyptus Mint SC
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Taconic Eucalyptus Mint A/S

Haven't done much in the way of shaving since surgery but want/need to get back in the groove. All these items tried and proven for me so I look forward to this week's shaves. BTW, surgery went well and the pathology of surrounding tissue showed all clear. Need a pet scan and meeting with my oncologist to verify but feeling pretty good right now.

 

Now that's some welcome news! Glad to hear you're doing well.

I've been growing a coronavirus beard so my weekly shaves ain't much. Just trimming cheeks and neck line. I'll try to come up with a weekly starting this Sunday (26 April 2020).

 

okay, rule is Nothing changes hardware and software (other than blade change , same brand of course) .... i basically stopped buying stuff for a year and have a tremendous stockpile of shave fun.... whats the official start of week, sun or mon?

 

sweeeeet, well i am lucky to do IT work from home, still shave but i now go a few days here and there... definitely stopped getting new stuff, but the stockpile is fun .. i have so many European and Indian shaving tubes that i have never even opened ...that will be a 2 year journey ..... at least i wont ever need shave gear until i leave this earth .. hahaha

 

Here goes for April 26th through May 2nd 2020.

Just trimming cheek and neck lines while setting my whiskers free! Don't want to waste my "good" stuff (soaps, creams, splashes) so I'll keep it simple this week.

Barbasol cream
Edwin Jagger DE87 razor
Gilette 7 O'Clock blade (1 - 7)
Barbasol Brisk AS



24 days of growth.

 

That's my take on it. Poppi may chime in if we're getting it wrong. I start my shave weeks on Sunday. Probably doesn't matter.

Like you, I have a ton of stuff that'll take forever to use up and growing a beard ain't making much of a dent in the stash!

Nice that you can work from home. I'm retired so not much disruption in my routine.

Shave of the Week!!

I haven't posted much lately. Trying to deal with my wife's passing has been difficult. Every day is a mixed bag, sometimes better and then something will trigger a memory/thought and it's tough again.

Anyway, this week's stuff is:

Gillette Slim Adjustable razor
Astra SP blade
WD Synthetic brush
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill A/S

Nice nice shave indeed. All the parts liked each other a lot and my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Star 3 piece razor
Treet "Black Beauty" blade
WD Silver Tip brush
Palmolive Shave Stick

The Treet blades are really good for me. All the other parts like each other and I'm sure my face will be happy. Now go enjoy your day folks

Treet 7 Days blade

VDH Deluxe Shave Soap

Haven't used the VDH Deluxe in a very very long time and now wonder why. Lathers easily and gives great protection, what's not to like. Hadn't ever paired up the Fine razor and the Treet blade. They complimented each other and a fine shave was had. My face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks

 

Shave of the Week Starting 6/29/2020

Weber DLC razor
Bolzano blade
Maggard Purple Swirl brush
Viking "Citron" SS

The Weber/Bolzano pairing is pretty nice and a fine shave was had. The Viking SS is top notch, easy to lather with great skin care. All in all, a fine shave and my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks

 

How are you liking the Marvel? Got my dad one for Father's Day. Got him a full Fine Platinum set from the soap to the fragrance, the black and grey shave bowl, black and grey brush, and stand. My niece and nephew got him some Williams pucks.
He was excited. Better than a tie.

The "Marvel" is a good razor for me. Not the best I have but certainly in the top 5 for now. I still have lots of razors (60+) to go thru so time will tell

 

Thank you.
