Friday! Merkur Progress / Swedish Gillette blade Rooney Alibaba 3 (large) Taylor of Old Bond Street Mr. Taylors cream Thayer's Original Witch Hazel; Gentlemen's Refinery AS Balm Creed Private Collection (vintage) Tabarome I'm glad I decided against selling the Alibaba 3. Its smallish knot and tallish loft, combined with the resilient Heritage bristles, form a brush with more flo-thru than any of the other Heritage collection brushes (IMO). It's a great all-around brush for creams or hard soaps.

[*]Prep: Rite Aid Skin Cleaning Cream & Hot Towel [*]Brush: The "Ever Roddy" an Ever Ready 300 refurbished with a silvertip badger knot by "The Knotty Badger" [*]Cream: SCS Smoke & Beads [*]Razor: '02 Kampfe Bros Star lather catcher style razor [*]Blade: Ted Pella PTFE coated SE [*]Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil [*]A/S: Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner and SCS Avocado Oil ASB [*]EDT: SCS Smoke & Beads EDT [*]Result: This is Friday the 27th but my shave was like it was meant to be done on Friday the 13th. First off got too much water while making lather. Yep, I did it with SCS creams that are known to need a lot of water. Had to add more cream to get a good lather. Then I got a few nicks on my first pass. An especially bad on on the right side of my head behind my ear. That one was just plain carelessness. The others were, I think due to a bad Pella blade. Nicks and a couple weepers appeared on my neck as well. Did nothing different with my passes. Will give the same razor/blade combo another shot tomorrow to be sure it was the blade.
