shave Sir Hare Co shaving soap(Alpha *)
brush-Crown King 26" ( Spindle Duro Tali)
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot + DisposeABLE

As a big rose-fan, myself, I love Klar Kabinett, Eufros Rosa Bourbon and DRH Rose Cream.

 

Primo- going to try the DRH this week! . And I have the Klar from some erudite shaver who was kind enough to sell it. You know that fella? Going to try the KK in May in honor of the postponed Run for the Roses.

First use of the Friday razor from my four day matched set of mini-Lunds. The smaller blade took on the two days of growth with no problem but some adjustments in technique are helpful with the reduced mass.

Full tilt at max with the Taiga and just an awesome shave. The Feather was brilliant with no harshness on it’s 3rd shave. Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic. Good feel yet still quite smooth with a larger gap that offers nice blade reveal and feel for a 2 pass and no touch ups BBS finish. Definitely as good as a Gibbs Reglable No.15/17 if not better with equal smoothness but, possessing a bit more blade feel does the Russian Bear have over the French Revolutionary. The Gibbs might be just a tad softer on the face at full tilt but, the Taiga is right behind it and one must acknowledge that there’s an OC set up on it. Superb is all I can say. Just superb. A great evening and shaves to all...​

March Madness/Shavettes

March 26
Razor - Luxor Pro
Blade -
Soap - Oleo Soapworks El Caballero
Brush - 30DC Meet-UP LE w/ SynBad bulb
Post - Alum

Something quite incredible happened today in STL. After a morning of rain and clouds, the sky cleared, the sun came out and we hit 79 degrees. What?!?!?! Yeah, I know. While there was no general panic it did seem to confuse most people who were out and about today. Of course, with the whole pandemic thing going on that wasn't that many. Still, a very nice day and a good day to be running around handing out food.

Shave time tonight still featured the Luxor Pro shavette with Sharp Star. I worked on the El Caballero with the 30DC meet-up brush. That SynBad knot makes an extremely luxurious lather an I loaded it heavy. Three full passes and even a bit of playing around with some "G-slides" brought me to a near-BBS but did raise the irritation a bit. Fair trade off. And if you're wondering how you do a G-slide with a shavette it's really as simple as two words. Very carefully. And not much of an angle. I was just wanting to see if it would make a huge difference. Probably just as well to stick with standard passes with a shavette.

Looks like we're approaching the end of another week! Happy Friday and have a great one!!
