Thx Gary. So far my favourite 6 dollar charity shop razor! Not much to find in the wild around here.

Good morning.

1968 Gillette Slim Adjustable (8)
Gillette Wilkinson Sword DE Blade (6,7)
Hembree Delrin/ Maggard Timberwolf Brush
Angora Soaps Midnight Lavender SS and AS Stirling Alum Block
Modessa Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 24 hrs
Dome Turf: 3 days



Did a head and face shave with my Slim Adjustable. I haven't used it since Sept. so it needed to play today. I have to be careful with this razor because one of the doors opens crooked so I have to make sure it's tight. Anyway, Angora's Lavender is such a nice smelling soap and it whips up a slick, creamy lather. Here is my lather:



2 passes on my face was all I needed because yesterday's shave was super close. 3 passes on the dome with touchups was the norm for me. BBS was the result all around and without errors. The alum was silent except a zing on my dome. Witch hazel and the matching aftershave were splashed on to end this wonderful shave. Take care.

 

fine slim shaves and pics Joe.thank you for posting.

It was time for a headshave and face shave so I picked my Gillette RedTip for the task. It is the most aggressive razor in the series of colored tips, but it is not aggressive razor to me. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would say it's a 4.5. However, other shavers might say differently either higher or maybe lower. In any event, with good technique you can get a fine shave with thus razor.
I decided to use the VdH soap because it's in my apothecary mug and I just have the load the brush and face lather. Sorry, no lather pics today. Lol! MrEE's brush has significant backbone to really pick up the soap and make facelathering much easier for me.

Surprisingly, I only needed 2 passes on my face and dome to get a nice, close and comfortable shave. Although, I did have to do some minor touch-ups on the dome. There wasn't any bloodshed except for the spot where I had the weep from yesterday's shave. There wasn't any alum feedback all around so that showed me that it was a fine shave. Toned down the skin with the witch hazel. I picked the Stirling Glastonbury because it is a fall scent and need to use it up. Fortunately, I don't have much left so it should be gone before the year ends. Anyway, I didn't get any alcohol burn from the splash and that's a good thing. Take care.
