Enjoy your shave!

It's Tuesday, so there are no surprises to expect from my SOTD today.

Excellent shave, 2 passes with a lot of bladefeel. At times, I enjoy some challenge. And the BBS result

Have a great day, y'all

Cheers!

Well save for the human errors , great shave, was in a hurry, got too lose of my skin with a wrong angle of the blades 3 times and nicked my self 3 times.

Still no irritation, and a nice cooling effect from the AS splash. Been a while since I used it, still enjoyable.

It's Tallow Tabac Tuesdays!

Good Day Gents
I have a sentimental attachment to this razor. But more importantly, it fits my preference as a mild AND efficient design. The Muhle blade is still cruising along with excellent results. Original Tallow Tabac...nuff said

Please take care of yourself and each other.

Still in! This razor made bombing out of Feb totally worthwhile. Superb shaver!

Don't take that as encouragement, comrades: it is worth holding the course!

Whenever I use a Wizamet, I always chide myself for not using them more often!

How is retirement treating you? Feeling rested, lower stress?

2023 GRUYERE #49 - Still in
March 2023 GRUME #23 - Still in

Date: 03.14.23
Days growth: 4

Head shaver

Razor: 1940'S Gillette Tech razor
Blade: Astra SP (4)
Brush: Parker synthetic

Pre-shave: Hot shower using baby wash on face and head.

Lather: Nivia Shave stick - face lathered

Passes: 2

Post Shave Routine and products:
1 - Hot rinse with microfiber towel X2
2 - Cold rinse with microfiber towel X1
3 - Alum block
4 - Cold rinse with microfiber towel X1
5 - Aftershave - Nivea Deep aftershave
6 - Balm: Nivea Sensitive Skin

Time from shower on to dressed and ready: Not sure, forgot to set stopwatch.

NOTES: A real nice DCS+. All Nivea software today, they perform pretty well. The Parker synthetic really lathered up the Nivea shave stick as comparted to my boar, badger, or horse brush - way nicer thicker lather! With all Nivea products, finished with a nice sport scent. Very little feedback from alum and aftershave.
Quality: 9/10
Comfort: 10/10
