The Otto Busch lived up to it’s name and provided a world class shave tonight. It was a nice contrast to the near wedge of my last shave showing once again that, at least for me, there is no one “right” style of blade

Hot water preparation
Argan Oil PSO
Savile Row 3824
Haslinger Aloe Vera Shave Soap
Otto Busch Weltmeister 265 Sonderklasse 11/16
Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel



Happy shaving - Karl

 

I got tired of the extra hollows because that’s what my first couple of razors were. I just recently got myself a INOX razor. A Henckel’s 72 Golden Checkered Friodur. I’m so used to carbon steel that I noticed a difference right away with how it behaved on the hone and in the face: I’ll get used to it though.

 

Thank you Gary!!

Greetings,

Early Morning Shave,

An excellent shave to finish my shave week off wonderfully.

It's been a while since i last added my Parker 99R to my DE razor rotation.

The Parker 99R along with the 22R where the first parker razors that i purchased not long after i had ventured into the wonderful world of traditional wet shaving which gave me the 'Shaving Bug' purely because they looked excellent and had great reviews, after that i developed a fondness for them. I now have a collection of 11 Parker razors (10 DE razors) + Parker adjustable InjRzr in my shaving den, four of which were past on to me by workmates who fell out of love with them. 'All the better for me'

The Parker 99r TTO and 98r where the razors that has taught me to let the weight of the razor do the work and focus on my technique when i first started out with this shaving hobby of mine.
The hefty weight and and long handle on most of the parker range is an the added bonus, especially for dome/head shaving.

An enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report....Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of L'0REAL Barber Club Reinforcing ASB.

My face is feeling smooth cool, & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

 

Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
START Shave Cream
Jayaruh #98
Schick C3 Repeating Razor
Personna Injector
CWR
Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB

The START Shave Cream lathered well with Jayaruh #98 synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick C3 Repeating 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...

 

Stando AC Titanium OC
Feather Pro Super
Chiseled Face Bay Rum Soap
Semogue SOC Badger

Clubman Bay Rum Aftershave

 

Shave setup for later today. Not enuff beard to shave off yet!

Razor - Viking's Blade Emperor Meiji adjustable set on 6 (medium)
Blade - Astra Platinum (2nd)
Pre-shave - Proraso Blue
Soap - Captain's Choice "Island Time" (smells like pineapple)
Brush - Simpson T2 Trafalgar
post-shave - Thayers Toner & Geo F Trumper "Skin Food"
AS - Captain's Choice "Bay Rum"

 

Thursday morning:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Wilkinson Sword/Wilkinson Sword day 2
Derbylux SC
Prep ASB
Aqua Velva Sport AS Splash

Once again I used something that I’ve neglected for a long time - this Derbylux cream is from Hungary and it’s made by Caola Alfa which is the same company which produces the Barbon and Figaro creams. This stuff has a very nice sporty scent with minty notes, just a small dab on both cheeks is enough to bury your face in thick, rich lather, it’s mildly mentholated, and the skincare is pretty good. The Prep and the Aqua Velva Sport aftershave were such a great finish. My Wilkinson Sword razor helped me to get an awesome BBS shave that I really enjoyed a lot!

Wishing you all a super duper day - be well and safe!
