SOS: December 2018

I have one puck of this soap makers product. Very nice stuff - performance very solid. I have the Sandalwood. It's ok [fragrance]. May have to grab the tobacco.

A very nice shave was had.
Happy Shaving one and all.

 

You hit the nail on the head. I really enjoy wet shaving, like the guy with 2 ice cream sticks with a DE blade stapled between, so as long as you`re having fun while getting the shave that you`re satisfied with.... what the hey. It`s a little different for people who are compromised with an unsteady hand, I have essential tremors. In a way it`s kind of a blessing, (a challenge each morning ). I keep experimenting with different tools and different creams, etc. I do have an electric shaver, for my head only. I have 3 or 4 razors with pivoting heads among some standard DEs and an injector, i will, on occasion rotate through most of them, and my little tech ($9.00 on TSDs Market place is my favorite, Bill.

 

We are a close group

 

Happy Birthday brother!!

A new Dutch Schick - aka The Dog’s Danglies - and the always smooth D were a hit. Nothing short of a fantastic shave all the way around. If it weren’t for the red tide, the dolphins would have been offshore in a jealous rage.

Guys I like y'all but we ain't that close.

 

I have heard that story and MAYhem scares me.

Hard to beat the tried and true Tech.
Nice to chat with you and look forward to hear about future shaves.

 

Thank you, John is now tied for first place in my brush collection and I suspect only a matter of time before he or Derek break the tie, both turn out some beauties.

HELLO SHAVE BROTHERS!
I have not posted in a week, here is the last 6 night shaves.

 

Karl, your Schick injector razor is a beauty!

 

This was last night's Menthol Monday. 12-03-18 --- A very tame menthol shave with Barbasol Artic Chill (CLASSIC Americana! I used Barbosol my entire life until the obsession started a few years ago, still great).
BARBIE!!! BARBOSOL FLOATING HEAD, Revamped by Chris Evatt... Just amazing razor, no other DE from that era shaves like this (ymmv) - very aggressive/efficient! As long as I do not carelessly "whip around" my face and use ZERO pressure I don't get closer shaves from Any DE In my arsenal of weapons... the Barbasol pre shave soap helps with. Ton of added slickness..
