    I hadn’t shaved since Christmas Day…Didn’t have the time to take a pic for that one.
    Continued with the neglected blade focus today. These discontinued ‘Russian Blues’ are neglected only because I only have one tuck left. These are awesome blades, such a great combination of sharpness and smoothness. I don’t know if they were rebranded into something else by Gillette in St Pete’s or not, but to me they are up there at least equal with Polsilvers as top tier discontinued blades from PPI.
    Everything worked as it should and it was a super shave.
    Have a great night all.

    Fragrance: Atman Xaman Eau de Parfum by Lorenzo Villoresi.
    So, using the different B&M bases pretty much back to back, you really can see and feel the gradual improvements made with each one.. the Omnibus base is thick, rich, creamy and holds a LOT of water.. It's one of those soaps that makes shaving a really enjoyable experience... and yeah, I really enjoyed that.

    Wednesday morning:

    Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Goodfella 3 Piece/Astra Green day 5
    Captain Nemo Blend 47 SS
    Prep ASB
    Aqua Velva Sport AS Splash

    My second time using the Blend 47 soap and it gave me absolutely TERRIFIC lather along with its nice eucalyptus scent as well as a very generous dose of menthol, and a comfortable postshave feeling. Needless to say the Prep took great care of my skin afterwards, and the Aqua Velva Sport aftershave beefed up the cooling - do I also ever love the scent. Once again Captain Nemo is an Indian based artisan company owned by Abir Laskar who’s a very nice guy and his products are great as well as his service. This Goodfella is indeed a good fellow - what a superb three pass BBS shave I had!

    Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and stay safe![​IMG]

    Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Williams Mug Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #144 Finest Badger
    3D Schick Type OC Razor
    Schick Plus Platinum Injector blade
    CWR
    Aqua Velva 5 in 1 After Shave Balm

    The Williams Mug Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #144 Finest Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 3D Schick Type OC Razor and the Schick Plus Platinum Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva 5 in 1 After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Razor : Razorock 2nd Generation Lupo.72, Mfg Jan 2nd >, excellent mid range, well built and designed with excellent machining tolerances + finish QC. Always look forward to using this razor, good clamping of blade + carefree shaving mostly IMO. I have a large razor rotation so it gets used 1-2 times a week, I like variety and challenges of other razors!
    Blade : Gillette silver blue (2) sharp & smoooth with reasonable longevity.
    Soap : Tabac, scent is clean flowery scent + excellent lather qualities. Softens whiskers better than other soaps + good post shave feel.
    Brush : Yaqi "Mountain lake" 2band badger, excellent lather generator, pillow soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter.
    Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
    Post shave : Razorock blue barber AS with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results :CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] excellent shave with my RR Lupo.72 with a GSB blade.

    gorgo2 geezerhood

    6 days growth. Lazy, shameful.

    Treet Stainless
    Senator (pass 1)
    Recently gifted Slim on 4 (pass 2)
    Ever Ready 300N (old nylon brush I was also recently given)
    bar soap

    2 pass supersmooth BBS. I'd forgot how much I like the scritchy feel of nylon bristles, especially when the beard is at itch stage.

    Alum/menthol witch hazel, my own concoction. Then, Lucky Tiger tonic. Feels SOOOOOO much better.

    Shaving recipe for today.

    Prep: Warm shower:/ Nivea Men Power Shower Gel.

    Pre:
    Cold wet flannel to my face.
    Palmolive Naturals Olive & Milk Bar Soap.
    Brush: Semogue 1438.
    Bowl Lather.
    Bowl : Home Bargains Stainless Steel Side Bowl.
    Lather: Vitos Vegetal shaving soap.
    Blade: Super-Max Super Platinum.(D2)
    Razor: Parker 87R.

    Post:
    Cold water face wash with brush squeezing's, Cold Water Face Rinse./Alum Rub./Cold Water Rinse. / Homemade (~Autumn/Winter mix~) peppermint lavender, eucalyptus, + Tea Tree essential Oils Mixed Together With 200ml of Care+Witch Hazel. / P&G Old Spice Original ASL./Nivea Men Fresh Kick ASB.

    Greetings,

    Another wonderful effortless 2 pass +pickups close comfortable shave with the Parker 87R to finish my last shaving week of 2022 in style.

    Like the vast majority of Subcontinent DE blades with few rules to the exception the Super-max BDT isn't the sharpest of blades but they are smooth and have paired up with my razors throughout the week and have been consistent with no duds or other quality issues.

    A very comfortable 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh Kick ASB.

    My face is feeling smooth cool, & smelling divine. ;)

    Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen. :cool:
