All this week's shaves are with the South African made bundubeard coffee puck, and man is this stuff fantastic. I could literally get by using this and arko alone, absolutely fantastic stuff. I have the 250g puck, so this thing is an absolute monster, and last time i checked they were about 95 rand l, which is just under 7 dollars, so rediculously good value for money. I decided to bin the injector blade after 18 beautiful shaves, stay tuned for the next shave which will be my first shave with the pearl OC!

Razor: schick injector
Blade: schick platinum ultra (18)
Brush: Wilkinson sword classic shave
Soap: bundubeard coffee
Aftershave balm: prep

  • Pre: Purell Healthy Soap Cucumber
  • Soap: Pure Silk Sensitive Skin
  • Razor: Gillette Guard from India
  • Blade: Guard's own pivoting single-edge cartridge
  • Post: Alum Crystal
  • Aftershave: Nivea Cooling After Shave Balm -- Sensitive

The Gillette Guard is a cheap and effective razor that takes its own proprietary cartridges. The razor with one cartridge is only about 35 cents! It's made in India to compete with their super-cheap, widely-available DE blades. It is an effective tool, resulting in a BBS shave with little fuss. Thinking it to be mild, I tried a quick touch up on my head. A terrible idea. Everywhere it touched my head was irritated or nicked. Usually, a mild razor on my face makes for a quick headshave clean up. Not the Gillette Guard. My bad.

Wow, bundubeard website claims puck will last for a year if used as directed — impressive!
