Third shave with the Super and I can't wait to tell you it was perfect and bloodless!! Oh, wait. Ok, so the finish was pretty darn nice. I'd call it BBS. But it wasn't bloodless. Yet again, I managed to score a small cut. This time next to my right ear on the XTG pass. I felt the blade grab something. No idea what really happened but since it hit an obstacle, or seemed so, maybe this one wasn't really my fault. Whatever the reason it didn't bleed much. Just enough to mock me and my Czarness with technique. Out, damned cut, Out!

I certainly can't blame the lather for the issue. The JR54 with the Maggard synthetic knot turned the ring of death into a tub full of lather. I didn't as much face lather as just paint it on. Massive amounts of lather, super slick and cushy, and the ring of death still mockes me, even after that. Out, damned ring, OUT!

Hope you had a great Tuesday. Mine was buy and I'm tired. Tomorrow a new experience. Dance lessons. Yes, you read that right. We're going to a 1920's ball on Friday so we're having an hour of lessons to try and fit in a bit better. Something I've never done before. I might have to turn in my man card on a suspension but that's ok. She's happy. Have a great Wednesday!!

Interesting picture, need some more light in the back ground IMO.

 

Williams Wednesday Shave;

• Above The Tie Slant (OC and SB)
  
• Gillette Rubie (3)
• Modern Williams Shave Soap
• Marvy Mug
  
• VdH Bowl
• Fine Lather Bowl
  
• Omega 48 Pro
• Gentleman Jon's Alum Block
• Williams Aqua Velva Ice Blue (US)
  
• Williams Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB (US)
  
• Homemade Hair Tonic
• Dapper Dan Heavy Hold Pomade
• Every Man Jack Deo
  
• Clubman Whiskey Woods Body Powder

This was my first go with the ATT Slant. I am not going to lie, I could have stopped after the first pass for a DFS. After the second pass it was just shy of BBS. The third pass was BBS without effort. I'm very impressed with this razor.

 

Really Awesome Super Cool Pictures, Gentleman! Makes my ADs go into over drive.

 

thank you Mr. D....
