Friday - A Tale of 3 Razors

Razors - Valet Auto Strop/Schick Injector Model L/Gillette Alloy Tech
Blades - Modified Super-Max SS/Personna PTFE Injector/Feather (2)
Vulfix 404 Boadger
MWF - M-Bombed
Boots Fresh Wood ASB
G Bellini Ice [with added menthol]

Yesterday I received 3 razors and today tried 2 out, the first the Valet Auto Strop, I have the version the dosen't take the modified SE blade, so I modified a DE blade, the shave was so so, it really needs the thickness of a SE blade, but hey I can shave with it, so then I used the Schick to clean up the rest of the stubble, the model L is very mild know where near as aggressive as my PAL, so in the end I used my alloy Tech with a Shimmed up blade up to finish the shave off. In the end I ended up with a reasonable shave after a lot of passes, hey but it was fun. The M-Bomb rocks, finally sussed how to use it, eye watering menthol MWF!!!!.

I've got too many soaps and creams open. Some better than others, but nothing wrong with any of them. Current plan is to open a new one only after using up at least one that's already open.

Oh wow Henry, what a way to end the work week. Got my Levi a couple of weeks ago and it is a sweet shaver.

His "re-grinds" really do take a smooth edge, don't they?

SOTD Friday August 6, 2010

Razor: 15/16 Geo Wostenholm & Sons, Celebrated I-XL Razor
Rockingham Works, Sheffield, England, Hollow Point Ca 1836
Pre-Shave Cream: Proraso
Soap/Mug: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Scuttle: RAB Ceramic
Brush: Medium Badger
ASB: Nivea Replenishing
Aftershave/Cologne: British Sterling Cologne for Men

Great shave this morning with the Wostie Chopper and MWF. This was a special shave in many ways. I re-discovered a sometimes forgotten fact; razors are sharp! I was all lathered up and picked up the razor noticing I hadn't wiped the oil off the blade. (you can see this coming can't you?) I get some tissue and wipe the blade and ...slip..nasty feeling..I notice that the top of my index finger is pouring blood all over the counter. After cold water rinses and two bandages I finally get the bleeding stopped enough to not leak through the bandages so I can complete my shave. Two things we should never forget: (1) Drink all of your cup of coffee before shaving. (2) When you are in a small room with a sharp instrument, be aware of where it's at at all times! I hope you all had a little less exciting shave that mine this morning Gentlemen, enjoy!
