May 1, 2024 Wednesday shave

Razor: Yaqi Remus

Brush: AP Shaving 24mm G5A, new
Bowl: Captain's Choice Heavyweight copper
Post shave: Omega alum block, Thayer's Witch Hazel

This was a three pass shave. The star of the shave was the new AP Shave G5A brush. I'm quite happy with its size and performance, a great brush!

May 2024 Gentlemanly Restraint Until Month End (GRUME)


Hello friends

Today is the Labor Day holiday here. I took advantage of the beautiful day to start using Mike’s Lime and Pinaud Cittus Musk again. How wonderful!

Might Pegasus Mistura is getting better and better, but in this third use it is still a bit rough and a big lather eater. It will possibly be my favorite brush.

Greencult 2.0 plate II and Gillette Silver Blue (1) were splendid, as always.

With us, Bob Brookmeyer and friends, and what friends…Stan Getz, Gary Burton, Herbie Hancock, Ron Cater and Elvin Jones.

Have a nice day and great shaves!

Wednesday’s shave….
Heritage Shaving Gibbs tribute
7 OC yellow pack blade
Omega 10108 boar….tremendous brush and inexpensive
SC Opuntia
After a solid month of vintage razors I decided to kind of carry on but with a modern version of an old classic. The Heritage is a great razor , you just need to check the blade alignment when fitting a new one. I’ve used it 6 times now and it gives an awesome shave…up with my best . The blade gap when fully opened looks pretty large to me but I use it at halfway open and it’s super. 2 passes is good for a DFS++. It’s 9/10 even without much effort.
