SoS: October 17, 2016 - October 23, 2016

Shave 34. I re-freshed the bevel on my Otto Busch using the progression I'd used when I first got it. I like the sharper blade. It's not as sharp as a couple other of my razors but it allowed for some light strokes that were more like brushing my skin than the shaving I've been used to. That translated into lighter noise from the alum than I usually get with this razor.

The scything strokes are coming easier, the tough spots on the chin and under the neck are getting easier and the end results are now like a good SE or decent injector shave. I also refreshed the ERN I have and plan to use it next. The edge feels sharper than today's shave and I'm really looking forward to it.

Wednesday's


Dove Men Face Wash
TABAC
Jayaruh #109 silvertip badger
OT w/ Maggard fatty handle
7 am Plus Hi Platinum
CWR, Asma Alum Block
T.N. Dickinson's WH
Aqua Velva Musk

The TABAC Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #109 silvertip badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette OT razor w/ Maggard fatty handle with a 7 am Plus Hi Platinum blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with T.N. Dickinson's WH and then Aqua Velva Musk After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

That looks like a tech to me.
