I'm going to give my face a bit of a rest by shaving with the forgiving, low-aggression Merkur 1904 razor. I'm going to smell great though as I really like this scent.

***EDIT - Today's shave turned out fantastic. Zero irritation and I actually got a BBS shave out of this razor for the first time. I think a super sharp blade is the key. The Shark Super Stainless I think is helping this razor perform. I really liked the shave today. My shirt collar is not causing any problems on my neck like it can on more aggressive shaves. Today's shave was a total win.

 

awesome sir..

 

very cool ..

 

Honestly, for me, at first it seem way too aggressive and I initially had some irritated shaves. But after many shaves and blade tests I went back to my favorite BiC Chrome-Platinum blade and it's been amazing shaves since I've gotten more skilled with it. It's one of my better razors now, and in time, maybe I'll appreciate it even more.

 

Monday SOTN

It's been a while - out came the Supply Provision V1 with a Chick blade. 2 passes with 3 dot, final pass and touch up with the 2 dot plate. One area with an initial weeper and slight irritation at the chin. All better with alum and AS. Still rocking the Arko . My Merkur Tuna is ready for the day. Have a great night everyone.

My Second Full Shave at Home with this Cartridge Razor, after a good one yesterday decided on the rare use of a cream. I was really pleased that the regrowth after yesterdays Shave was relatively light.
Ensuring that I did not rush I found the Shave to be very smooth , but found it necessary to rinse it quite often due to using the cream.I took a little longer with this Shave, and was rewarded with a rather face stroking finish with no hint of any post shave problems .I can now put this Razor away knowing that it will make an excellent Travel for future short trips. It may cost a bit more than a disposable, but knowing it delivers a good quality Shave without any
problems makes it worth it. I have tried the much praised Guard and it did not work for me at all.

 

Pre: Warm water splash
Brush: Thater 4125/1 ST

TOBS Tuesday went as slickly as the lather, the Feather Weight was in its element.
Happy Shaving one and all.

Tuesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Amalfi Basil Lemon Shave Soap
Jayaruh #224 Synthetic
Gem Feather Weight
Gem Stainless
CWR
PSC Caffeinated AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Amalfi Basil Lemon Shave Soap face lathered well with Jayaruh #224 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Gem Feather Weight razor with a vintage Gem Stainless SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with PSC Caffeinated AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

That calendar was my parents'. From when I was a wee lad (early 50's) I remember it on an old secretary desk in our house in Pittsburgh. My dad would change it every day. It moved with us a few times and after my dad passed, my mom kept it current. It's now mine and although it would probably shine up nice if I applied some Brasso to it, I kind of like the patina that's a result of my dad and mom and now me changing the date daily. I think of them every morning when updating it.
