Grand Blade Trial

Razor - 1962 (H1) Gillette Slim (6)
Blade - (2)
Soap - Arko
Brush - Wolf Whiskers Custom Silvertip
Post - Alum, Nivea Original

Man what a wild three days. I set a record for sales in three days at my store - 58 hours of sales and nearly a thousand bucks an hour average. Not bad for beds. I just didn't see my own bed enough given the amount of time I was on my feet. But, it's done, and my weekend has arrived. Second night of the Bolzano Superinox blade trial and I'm ready to get it done and sit back with a nice vodka martini.

Great Arko lather as always, and the Wolf did its usual fantastic job. I need to get on the list to get another one of these at some point. The razor is on 6 for a "normal" aggressiveness and the first pass was silky smooth and effective. Second pass just as good and the third no issues either. I didn't take a lot of time on detail tonight, letting the razor and blade do their thing. Ended with a very near BBS and a great silent alum. Added Nivea to keep conditioning things up. This cold snap has dried things out in a big way. It did start raining a little tonight and is supposed to for two days but it's that cold winter rain.

Anywho - great shave with a great finish and the Superinox is doing what it does. Delivering the shave without incident. I am thinking it will stay under control in the wide open Slim tomorrow night. We'll find out. Hope your holiday weekend was a good one! Three more days before DECadent December rolls in. More on that as we get closer. Have a great night and a better Monday morning!

No need to worry, my friend! I wasn't even tempted to.
