SoS; March 2018

March 21,2018 Wednesday

Razor: Gillette Guard
Blade: Guard Single Edge cart. (8)
AS: Afta


It gets no simpler, 1 pass ATG and XTG. Then wet face and make a thin lather all over and go wild in all directions, adding small dabs of lather where needed. My 8th shave on this blade and it still feels like the 1st. It boggles my so called mind. God Bless and great shaves.

Bill

Thursday morning:

Nivea Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Astra day 4
Stirling Sharp Dressed Man SS
Bull Dog Moisturizer
Havana EdT

It's time to go Stirling again!

 

Two thumbs up on that brush.

 

Thursday's Shave Plan:

Same animal as that of today, except-

Brush-Stirling Synthetic 26"..(I call it the "big brudder"-I know @ezlovan has a different name for it).

 

And I see you're going bulldog, too .

 

So did Joseph W. Namath(he probably still does)

 

Today's shave was with a razor "I" just plain think is cool. Well, at least the Bow stamped on it is. I had a silky smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. No touch-ups. This is a real performer.

Razor- "Bow Razor", by Wade & Butcher.
Brush- JR#262. Ebony and Birdseye Maple wood. Whipped Dog Silvertip Badger.
Soap- Arko/Sandalwood
Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. Ships Lantern Decanter.

 

What do you like about the Bulldog stuff? I just saw some today.

 

GartBnx.....

 

Pre: Warm water face wash
Brush: WDC-8 & 24mm 2BF
Soap: Stirling Sandalwood
Razor: MIL Industries SB (pass around)
Blade: Astra SP
Post: Warm then cold water rinse,Stirling Sandalwood PSB

I know the poor finish on these razors has already been mentioned a few times but that white mark on the handle isn't the sunlight attractively glinting off it, it's a bald patch on the coating. Tut tut!
Anyway onto the shave:
Even though I didn't like the proprietary handle with the OC I thought it only fair that my first shave with the SB should be with the stock handle.
The head does look similar to the EJ89 but I don't think it's as efficient, even with the weight of the monstrous handle behind it, it struggled with the wire-like grey hairs on my chin and 'tache.
For me the OC is a far better razor and I'll have to consider if I'll use this one again.
Happy Shaving one and all.
