Greetings,

Early morning shave,

"white rabbit white rabbit white rabbit!"

Last outing of the Shark Super Stainless blade to finish my shaving week & month off using various Lord DE blades...

The Silver Star Super Stainless & Lord Platinum Class are my favourite blades from the lord camp however, the Asco & Shark Super stainless are the smoothest out of them which is my preference in a blade over sharpness. The longevity of the Silver Star Super Stainless & Lord Platinum Class, which i am convinced are the same blade" in different covers? have a nice balance of efficiency & smoothness....Long story short, each of the blades from the Lord camp have gave acceptable shaving results with no intermittent quality problems throughout the month.

The Weishi 2.0 Adjustable/Shark Super Stainless blade duo was a real smooth efficient combo...The Weishi Adjustable performance on the higher settings work wonderfully.

Another enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...A great shave to finish my shaving week...Finishing the shave off in style with a generous splash of Gummy ~ Traditional Turkish Tobacco Cologne.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

After extensive research I realized that our government is made up of competent, fair and honest people!
April Fools!!!
I guess you guys caught me: I should have found something more credible...

A routine shave that reminds me of times gone by: a scent (now almost vanished) of almond and cologne.
The nose can be a time machine! (in my case a limo!).

Futur v. Model T
In honor of Godzilla v Kong, I decided to pit these two razors against each other and six days growth. Both destroyed my stubble with ease and in comfort. I used Tabac because it never fails. I asked my wife to determine which side of my face was smoothest, and she could not tell the difference. If I was forced to choose one, I think I would lean slightly to the Futur because I like it's heft.

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade: Voskhod
Brush: Lutin Chubby Lightning
Pre-Shave: Proraso White
Lather: Tabac Original
Aftershave: Tabac Original Balsam

Thursday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Barbasol Shave Cream
Bunny B-400 by Tom
TiBr Wabbit
Personna Injector
CWR
Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB

The Barbasol Shave Cream lathered well with the Bunny B-400 by Tom. Two passes and touch ups with the TiBr Wabbit razor with a Personna Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Stirling Black Cherry

Nice shave with a new (to me) Stirling scent. Two passes and close enough for a 4 day old blade.

 

Rollout of the Menlo reminded me to pick up the old French Biette which bears a resemblance.

Yes been gone for a while after my cross country move. What'd I miss?
