Shave #92.
Same gear today for a very good shave.

 

[DesertIguana]

Today is 04-02-2025 is # 92 of 2025.



Razor: Goodfellas' Smile - Bayonetta
Blade: 7 AM Plus Hi Platinum. DAY # THREE USEAGE.
Bowl: N/A
Soap/Cream: Cremo - Refreshing Mint, smells is great.
Brush/Instrument: Fingers/Omega Boar
Extra Stuff: Witch Hazel

THIRD Shave with my P.I.F.ed winning, Goodfellas' Smile Bayonetta, from Badger & Blade Member @Koop. Shave was three passes, with, across, & against the grain, using a Almost NEW FRESH - 7 AM Plus Hi Platinum, some Blade feel but just feedback, Shave went as easy as 1, 2, 3, Blade is Super Sharp, and, Efficient. Today was DAY # THREE for using this Blade, came out of my Orphan Blade Ziplock. Blade sent message, aka feedback it was working well today, it was loud talking, and clear.

Shave today was Dam Fine Shave but did not achieving perfection rating, would be 9.99 +. Results were Darn Good because I payed a lot of attention to Technique, reaped rewards, of DFS for doing so. I do not & never will chase BBS, do but still got great Shave. This is an Ultra Heavy Weight Razor at 3.49 Ounces, Handle is nice & long so it like having baseball bat in hand. THREE Grand Slam Shaves in Row, AWESOME RAZOR.

Using a freshly opened Tube of Cremo - Refreshing Mint, Black Cap. Still working in the Cremo into my Beard with my Fingers, & Omega Boar, this technique seems to helped getting Beard to stand up for closer shave. Working with Brush on Face don’t lather Cremo much, but seem to help raise Beard for Shaving off. This New Tube of Cremo - Refreshing Mint has nice scent on skin post shave, and slight tingling sensation like menthol post shave. Will comment on strength of scent after few days of use, hope it keeps smelling and tingling liker Menthol. Day # 3 use of this New Tube of Cremo - Refreshing Mint, it has stronger scent than last tube of product, and leaves slight tingle behind. Good THING, Great Smell!

I am a Vintage Gillette Junkie, That is almost all I own, except this Newly acquired Goodfellas' Smile Bayonetta, that does a Dam Fine Shave. This is the CNC First Modern Razor I ever owned, It Brass, it polished up real nice with Elbow Grease & Flitz Polish. Will say it again this Razor does awesome job, would say IMHO it is great value at the $60.00 Retail Price Point. I honestly cannot imagine that a Super Modern Razor that cost upwards of $200.00 - Plus, could do any better job of producing DFS than this Goodfellas' Smile Bayonetta. Heck of a lot of bang for buck.

Shave number 92
365 shaves (or more) in 2025

Razor: RR Lupo 95 SB
Blade: Treet Classic (4)
Brush: Simpsons Trafalgar T3
Soap: Stirling Sharp Dressed Man
Post Shave: L'Oreal Men Age Creme
A/S: Davidoff Cool Water

Tonight I changed to the Lupo to see if I could get better results from this blade. Unfortunately even with the more aggressive Lupo it was as obvious that one edge of the blade was duller than the other. The dull edge was quite uncomfortable to use so I have decided to bin this blade and go on to another one though I can't rule out that I accidentally damaged the blade edge myself.
It seems Treet blades are once again providing me with reasons not p like them. It reminds me of Shark blades which after a number of Shark Week participations I have grown fond of, maybe TAAT can do that for Treet.

Wednesday 2nd April, shave 92

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Lather: Saponificio Varesino Cubebe
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC1.05 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #6
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm

The blade is smooth but not so sharp, so I switched to the 1.05mm baseplate. It gave a welcome efficiency boost, for an easy near-BBS result.

#93

TOBS No. 89 (DE89)
Kai (9)
Muhle Kosmo 21mm STF
TOBS Sandalwood soap
TOBS Sandalwood aftershave

An excellent shave despite a bit of a tingle from the lather. I think my skin may have been irritated after yesterday's outing with the little TOBS super badger which is a little prickly.

Shave #93.
Ninth use of the GEM. Shaves are still smooth but definitely not as efficient. Still easily office ready face. Random and possibly irrational, but aiming for 10 shaves.
