Razorock SuperSlant L2++OC
Wizamet Iridium
Rockwell Shave Oil
Proraso Green Preshave
Cremo Shave Cream
Muhle Badger Brush
Alum Block
Witch Hazel
Rockwell After Shave Balm
BDLM Afterlife Aftershave

The new OC from Razorock is a clear winner! Loved the shave - insanely comfortable with just enough blade feel - BBS face & neck with two passes with and against the grain. No irritation, no blood and no burn!

 

[SgtCrppls]

Brush: RV “Ivory” @Rudy Vey DG B16 26mm

Blade: Timor (10), this blade is incredible but for me only in a WR2 Ti or SS, SB 1.25 gap.
I have been shaving every other day for the last 20 days and it has been amazing BBS every time.

Soap: GD Ousia II Kairos SE

Razor: WR2 Ti SB 1.25 w/ Timeless Ti Crown Handle

At this rate with the Timor 2 packs of 10 would last me a year. I guarantee you I am not giving up any quality on my shaves to use a blade this many times, that would never be worth it to me.

Sunday Schick Sunday, October 08 2023

Razor : Schick injector E2 type Canadian Variant - Mfg in 1930's- 40's - mid range. Excellent design and very nimble to roam the face, a person can get nicks with a little to much pressure.
Blade : Schick blade(1) sharp and smooth with reasonable longevity. Good I had a tuck in waiting as my Personna are used up.
Soap : Speick stick, nice spicy scent with excellent lather qualities. One of my favorite performance soaps.
Brush : Yaqi "Atlantis" 24mm G4 synthetic. Excellent lather generator, similar 2band badger face feel, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Ach Brito Lavanda with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).

Razor - Timeless SSBYOR .95
Blade - Personna Lab Blue
Brush - Sawdust Creations Studio Purple Haze
Software - Gentleman’s Nod Musashi

I wanted something more aggressive than the Timeless razor with the .68 gap, so I bought the .95 gap version. It did not disappoint. Efficient and decent amount of blade feel. Musashi smells so good and the soap provided a slick lather.

I just proved to myself that Feather blades are good for one shave only on my face. FOCS shave #2 on Feather wasn’t as smooth or close as #1.

October has already begun. But the weather in my city is very good.

That's an enjoyable video. I am the farthest thing from a metalhead—grew up on the Beatles, Neil Young, and Bob Marley, but mostly listen to classical and jazz. But I enjoy dipping into "foreign" genres like metal, hip-hop, avant-garde, bubblegum (I need to catch up on Taylor Swift--I don't know a single one of her songs), psychedelic, drums 'n' bass, electronica, historical pop, etc.

Cheers,
Mike

I'm a little late with this. Is that allowed?

Not sure I did this right.

This is it, folks. I'm a complete noob. In the picture is my *ENTIRE* DE shaving "den." The whole shebang. Well, except for some more blades from the sampler. Otherwise, this is all I own so far.

Rockwell 2C
Pacific Shaving Co. Natural Shaving Cream (applied by hand)
Gillette Nacet blade
Aftershave: cold water.

Today was DE shave of my life No. 4! BEST SHAVE I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE. I am not kidding, or exaggerating. Revelation No. 2: I was looking forward to shaving this morning. I honestly think that is the first time in my life I could ever say that. I have hated shaving for so long....

I love this hobby. So far. (A friend said: "I hope you don't have to spend too much money to save money.")

Keep swing swang swingin',
