DAY 18, no missed shaves in 2025. Today is 01-18-2025, Shave Report


Razor: 1956 Ball-End Tech
Blade: Durablade 7 AM Plus Hi Platinum, Day 3 use.
Soap/Cream: Cremo Classic Citrus (Secret Sent)
Bowl: N/A
Brush/Instrument: Fingers
Extra Stuff: Witch Hazel



Still using my 1956 Ball-End Tech again, IMHO is amazing Razor, this Razor was PIF thanks to @gpjoe.

Did a three pass Shave today, Against, With, & Across the Grain, using a Durablade 7 AM Plus Hi Platinum, there was some slight blade feel, blade just glided, removed Beard with ease. Blade did not make me say wow, it’s not a Grail Blade, but worked good today, it’s starting to get dull, so I will use Sunday, and see if it goes to Monday. Not a BAD Blade, but will not stand in line to buy again.

Wish this Ball End Tech - Razor was a tad more aggressive, and had more blade feel. Shave was 9.6, not BBS, but still DamFine Shave. This was third time using this Blade, found one in my Orphan Blade Ziplock.

Still working on a Tube of Cremo Citrus, personally still get NO TRUE CITRUS Sent IMHO. Being fair there could be Citrus aroma in my dreams, but it is not a strong in your face scent that yells Citrus. Positive of Cremo is it does leave face soft post Shave use.

Old Vintage Gillette’s, are good Razor’s, still working well enough to put a big smile on my face. These Old Vintage Ball-End Tech’s are an underestimated work horse, could be almost Grail Razor at 66 year young. I am a Vintage Gillette Junkie, they work well with Sharp New Quality Blade IMHO. Color me HAPPY.

Shave number 18
365 shaves (or more) in 2025
SV Saturday

Razor: Muhle Rocca R94
Blade: Silver Star (1)
Brush Muhle Rocca R94 STF
Soap: SV 70th Anniversary
Post Shave: Nivea Hyaluron Creme
A/S: Clinique Happy for Men

Tonight for SV Saturday I pulled 70th Anniversary out of the hat, yay me. After last night I changed for a new Silver Star blade and brought out the Rocca set. Once again a fantastic lather and a smooth shave and as it was the first use of this blade I ended up with a BBS finish with no mess or fuss.

Shave #18

January 18, 2025

Razor - Gillette el-cheapo
Blade - Gillette Wilkinson Sword
Soap - Arko
Brush - Stirling synthetic

Taking an easy day today working in my office/shave den and decided to use the el-cheapo Gillette razor that they gave away with blades at some point. Plastic handle, cheap metal head but with a Gillette Wilkinson Sword it did a fine job in two passes. Arko and a Stirling synthetic for the lather. Finished up my shave then won an auction for a vintage Gillette on Ebay. Good way to end the day.

I estimate I'll shave 130 times this year. I'll let my son in the Navy shoot for the full 365.
