Apparently the Brass'Bird is no longer available! Great razor.

Shave #260, a day off and looking for something different for a leisurely shave with the MMOC.

Friday 17th September, shave #260.

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: MWF
Brush: Men-U boar
Razor: GC.68 OC, Astra SP #5
Post-shave: Nivea Balm.

Back to the open comb Game Changer, and an easy DFS. It's a good trade-off of efficiency and comfort. I might have to rethink my preference for safety bar razors.
 
Saturday 18th September, shave #261.

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: MWF
Brush: Men-U boar
Razor: GC.68 OC, Astra SP #6
Post-shave: Nivea 2-Phase Lotion.

Stayed with the open comb, did a thorough 2-pass, and got an excellent result with no irritation.

If I could only keep one Game Changer, I'd have a hard time choosing between this and the safety bar .68.

Sunday Schick Shave, Sept 19th 2021 #262 of 262 consecutive days of shaving!

Razor: Schick Golden 500 injector+ hydro magic- Mfg 1957-64, excellent razor, tame mid range, light touch needed, Razor length 5 3/8" seems a little long but was meant for uni-sex shaving market is my best guess.
Blade: Personna SS PTFE (1) excellent blade, very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely + predictable.
Soap: Cyril R Salter Indian Sandalwood, nice scent with excellent lather qualities, good price for the amount.
Brush: Yaqi New Viper 24mm boar :001_wub: , Excellent lather generator, soft split end hair tips, great scrubber + great lather painter.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
Post shave: Proraso red with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe balm( great stuff + has HA already mixed in)
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers =:a17:excellent shave with my Schick golden 500 with Hydro magic + a Personna coated blade.

Sunday 19th September, shave #262.

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Palmolive
Brush: Men-U boar
Razor: GC.68 SB, Astra SP #7
Post-shave: Nivea Balm, Brut AS.

Back to the safety bar Game Changer, and got an excellent result with that too. I don't think there is much to choose between these.

Monday 20th September, shave #263.

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: MWF
Brush: Men-U boar
Razor: GC.68 OC, Wizamet SI #4
Post-shave: Nivea Balm.

Put a used Wizamet in the open comb Game Changer, and it worked fine. If somebody else was loading, I probably couldn't tell a Wizamet from an Astra SP.

I'd know soon enough if they loaded an Astra SS, though...
