Still in... Happy Monday everyone.
Todays shave was a 9/10 2-pass and some touch-up DFS. I managed to make a weeper on my chin, but otherwise another great shave.

Yaqi Mellon SLOC, FlyDear blade, Yaqi Viper brush, Proraso Wood and Spice cream, Natio calming balm.

 

[Mesquite]

The combination of these two razors working together was sheer enjoyment.

Enjoy your shave today!

Guido, when I read your shave reports with 2 razors, I can’t help but wonder if you have one razor for each hand, or you manage to hold them both with one hand I guess it’s more likely one is for head, and one for face?

Still in. NT with Kai (2) blade. Better results with less irritation, but a few nicks… not really feeling a good fit with this blade, but I still have several more of them to try out, maybe in some different razors.

Day 16, 51.6% complete, half-way already!

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Lather: Palmolive Stick, made into a puck
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC1.05 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #8
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm

Palmolive day again. A quick but effective DFS.

you manage to hold them both with one hand I guess it’s more likely one is for head, and one for face?

Thanks for the question!

I try to emulate a cartridge razor so I use them simultaneously in one hand. One on top of the other…

Ehh no. Totally legit question. I use them interchangeably during passes: (WXTG) left cheek, left neck, switch, right cheek, right neck, (XATG) left cheek, left neck, switch, right cheek, right neck, (ATG) left cheek, switch, right cheek.

Both razors do a portion of left and right, so I don’t do comparison shaves in that sense where one razor stays on one side.

I use GEM and injector razors for head shaves and learning to use shavettes as well.

Cheers,

Guido

Impressive, thanks for the rundown. It must work well for you since you pair so many different razors and still keep it up. Personally I still struggle sometimes to get consistent results from one side of my face/jawline to the other with everything else constant!

I do too. Keeping my shaving white belt on. And practice, practice, practice.

You will get there! Takes a little longer with DE shaving, but the rewards are amazing!
