No Shave

Tuesday, August 16, 2011

• Prep: Hot shower, California Baby face wash, hand strop blade

• Brush: Frank Shaving Fine Badger
• Razor: Gem OCMM
• Blade: Walgreen's Gem (4), 2 passes
• Post: WH + alum splash, Aqua-Velva Ice Blue, hand strop blade
• Cold water shave

Oh how I have missed the efficiency of the OCMM. I was unable to shave yesterday and this razor just mowed down all the stubble that dared get in it's way. Only 2 passes needed with slight touch-up under the jaw for my closest to BBS ever. I can't stop running the back of my hand all over my face this morning.

Seems like a very smooth shaver, this Japanese beauty. Arrived just y'day from a fellow member residing in Virginia. The Acca Kappa scent is very refreshing, I will be using it more often now as the tube's cap broke (overtightening again) and I wouldn't like to see it dry out.
