Good morning gentlemen! It's supposed to be a bit cooler today, so I decided to get another wear out of one of my favorite fall/winter scent combos.

SOTD Wednesday

Nanjie TTO
L'Occitane Cade
BIC Chrome(5)
Lucido ASL
Edwin Jagger Black

Find that the China made Nanjie razor is really very aggressive compared to the EJ86. Have to really use an extremely light touch for the shave and got a BBS shave that includes all the troubled spots in 3 passes. Actually, I was thinking of even skipping the ATG pass at the end of the 2nd pass. But I still have lots of lather left, so I did the 3rd pass. No polishing at all. And I am a using a 5th shave BIC blade in it. This is crazy!!

Wonderful pictures and shaves today, everyone.

It's pretty gloomy on campus today. 11 more days of class. Not that I'm counting or anything.

​

Nice view of the campus . What school?

beautifully executed shave this AM (my PM) David

Ian,
That is one of a more interesting brush handles I have seen. Very nice

 

[nav]

Location: Coffs Harbour Australia
Brush: FS Finest Badger
Soap: Tabac
Razor: GEM SE
Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel
A/S: Old Spice
Result: Well to be honest I like the photo better than the shave.
I dont blame the razor I think the blades weren't up to the task. They were sold in a Chemist's in the shaving section but labeled as single edge scraper blades. Unfortunately the shave was very poor, but I have had no luck finding Single Edge blades, even on line I haven't found any yet. I recently unearthed this Gem razor in my Dads garage, it belonged to his Dad so for sentimental reasons I'd like to have it usable. Any tips on acquiring SE blades please let me know.​

Hope you guys have better shaves today.

Nice to see your SOTD's on B&B, Grant
