SoS: November 9.2015 - November 15, 2015

Right, OK. The bottle looked a little different, that's what got me wondering.

 

Sunday SOTD - 11/15/15

Day 3 (I think) with my Schick Adjustable. Today I upped the setting to 8. Wow, what a shave. I had a two day stubble and the Schick cut through it easily. After 2 passes I was nearly done! But, being the greedy sole that I am I continued to a 3rd pass and started getting cocky. Result was an amazing close, BBS I'd guess, but my cockiness was rewarded by 3 or 4 weepers. Very little feedback from the alum or the AS. I think I'll move the setting down to 7 and be more careful. I might just be on to something here.

QUESTION: I've have a Type G injector and found it fairly mild. I believe I've head that a Type E is more aggressive. Can anyone compare it to a setting on this adjustable? 6-7-8?

 

I repeated this sotd again today except I used a Perma Sharp blade with four shaves on it in place of the Rapira. End result was a shave that was smooth and irritation free. I really like Perma Sharp blades.

Thursday’s SOTD:

Prep: Hot shower (of course)

Soap: Stirling Executive Man

Brush: Semogue 1438

Razor: A 1955 Super speed delivered via Santa Rufus from the Secret Santa Date Code PIF. Filled with a fresh Feather blade.

AS: Cold Water Rinse, Which Hazel, followed by a dollop of Stirling Executive Man Aftershave Balm.

As always, I can get a great lather from the Stirling soaps. Easily three pass, plus of great rich lather; not to mention the scent.

This is the first shave with the Super speed as it Santa Rufus just dropped it on my doorstep Loaded with a Feather, I got a great three pass did a fourth jus for fun , irritation free shave. Yep, BBS to boot! Followed up with a rinse of cold water and witch hazel and finished with a healthy dose of the Stirling balm. Feeling clean, fresh and really blessed.

 

Good looking razor.
