Good afternoon.

1968 Gillette Slim Adjustable (setting 7)
Gillette Wilkinson Sword DE Blade (1,2)
Stirling Boar Brush
Captain's Choice North SS and AS
Stirling Alum Block
Modessa Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 24 hrs
Done Turf: 3 days



It's a head and face shave day. I picked out my '68 Slim that was loaded with a new blade to deliver a nice result. I haven't used my Stirling Boar for quite some time so I decided to use it. The trick with natural hair brushes is to let it soak for about 5 minutes and then get rid of the excess water. I chose Captain's Choice North because the weather outside reminds me of a captain and his crew fighting the ocean waves. Plus the fact that it's a very good soap. Here's my lather:



I changed my routine for this session. I usually start and finish my face shave and afterwards, commence lathering and shaving my face. For the first time, I simultaneously lathered my face and dome to shave each section. I repeated the process for 2 more passes.
It was an interesting switch, but I prefer to concentrate on completing my face shave and then start to shave the dome. In any event, I got a nice, comfortable shave all around.

The alum feedback was evident on neck and dome, but it wasn't serious. Splashed on the witch hazel and the nice matching aftershave. All in all, it was definitely a change in my routine and may do it again. Take care.

 

Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
TSD Iced Lime Shave Stick
Jayaruh #423 Two-band Badger
Darwin-Handle Gillette Old Type
Personna Super (71)
CWR
Osage Rub

The TSD Iced Lime Shave Stick lathered well with the Jayaruh #423 Two-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Darwin-Handle Gillette Old Type and a Personna Super Blade (71) gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Jim, 71 ! that's impressive !
