Blade: Ladas Stainless Steel (2/5) (3)
Soap: BSS #1
Brush: RazoRock RR400
Aftershave: Stetson Cooling Moisture
Rating: 8.5/10, DFS+
This razor seems to be a bit of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde to me. It feels quite mild, but it is causing me irritation and at an increasing amount. I may have to swap to a different one for the rest of the week. Anyways, the shave was ok. I did stir up two weepers, but it was a plenty close shave.

Oh well, I'm the type of guy who will never settle down
Where pretty girls are, well you know that I'm around
I kiss 'em and I love 'em cause to me they're all the same
I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em they don't even know my name

They call me The Wanderer
Yeah, the wanderer .......

If you're old enough, you'll remember the rest of this little diddy.

Post shave: Gillette Gel
Rating: 9.8/10

As much as I love my shave soaps and the ritual of lathering, etc., sometimes I like to mix things up - variety is the spice of life, after all - and so I'll pull out a tube of Cremo instead. It's quick and easy to use, very slick and it's an excellent product and today's shave was a reminder of how good it is.
Of course, it helps to have a great razor and blade as well.

Goodbye SHADE, Hello SE. A little snip off the edge of the Injector blade and it fits
perfectly. What a difference in feel with a stiff injector blade edge. Even these crappy
Ted Pella's did great. Taconic Lime is fantastic for a hot day.

I used to be in this camp -- not that I had ever used one. But then I got one. And admittedly, it took me more than a few shaves to get used to its lightness. But once I did -- WOW -- I will no longer rule out aluminum razors. I now have two; and they give me fantastic shaves.

Notes

I added a touch of Proraso Green to liven up the Naked & Smooth this morning. Good shave, but I won't try this again — I got much more of the coconut oil feel of the Proraso than expected, and less of the scent. I have a sample of Stirling's Eucalyptus and Mint soap waiting in the wings. I'm sure that will give me what I was after, when I get to it.

Not my favorite brush and I don’t like this brush really well.

Me too!! I got the Henson AL13 free from a PIF, and really liked it. The Timeless is amazing and I prefer it to the Henson. I'm really tempted by the Guerilla, but the price tag is steep. I might just stay where I am at for the time being. I shave everyday, and I can get it done mostly with one pass with the Timeless.

May 22, 2024 Wednesday shave

Razor: Parker Solo Edge (2)
Blade: Personna Lab Blue (1)
Soap: Cella red
Brush: AP Shave Co. 24mm G5A (7)
Bowl: Captain's Choice Heavyweight copper
Post shave: Osma alum block, Thayer's Witch Hazel
Aftershave: Fine Snake Bite

After a terrible first outing with the Parker Solo Edge, I finally got up my nerve to give it another try. This time was much better, I treated the razor with more respect and didn't try for a BBS shave. I got a good shave with no weepers, nicks, cuts or irritation. I'm happy to reclassify this razor from dreadful to respectful.

9.8/10 Very nice!

Enjoy your day!
