Adjustable April 02, Single Edge by Supply and Shave Stick Sunday In comparison to DE's there are not too many Single Edge adjustables and I think that Supply did a great job of bringing us this. It's another razor that is a little too mild for me, but hey its a lazy Sunday. I loaded it with a Chick blade. The brush is a Wolf Whiskers with a Black Eagle HT knot and the stick is Palmolive.

Razor: 1965 Slim K 1 Replated Rhodium


Blade: Personna Lab Med Prep (1)
Preshave: PAA The Original Cube (Mentholated)
Soap: Razor Emporium Babershop
Aftershave: Razor Emporium Babershop Afterhsave and Balm (on neck area, more prone to irritation and 10 minutes after using splash on face)
Duke Cannon Aftershave: On neck area (neck is more prone to irritation) and 10 minutes after using splash on face


Very happy post shave feel, DFS+/BBS, 3 pass shave, WTG, XTG, ATG. No cuts, no weepers, First time using this blade, on 5 days growth its a very sharp, smooth blade, I was quite happy and impressed with it. I had big expectations for it and it lived it.


PAA Cube, glad I got the mentholated, it was a nice kick of menthol (will be getting those Stirling drops for aftershaves as well as menthol crystals coming in). First time using this as well, it as quite good, menthol really lasted, a good amount of it, quite happy.
Used the Duke Cannon, 1st time, tried to use to give the aftershaves a more menthol, it was good but not as menthol as I thought it would be but a very good product, I was happy with it.


This will be a triple thread (really want to use a WWE reference here rofl) post on Vintage April 23, Adjustable April 23 and SOTD.

Cream: Barbasol 1919
Razor/Blade:
Head - 1920 Big Fellow Old Type w/ 1933 Gillette Thin Blades
Face/Neck - 1920 Big Fellow Old Type w/ 1933 Gillette Thin Blades
Aftershave: Avon Windjammer

The shave 10/10
The I can't believe it factor 100/10
The WOW factor /

FANTASTIC shave today! Last day of USA theme week and went with a second day of all in on the quadfecta USA sotd, King Weekend, Adjustable April, and Vintage April.

I found the Barbasol cream at a hardware store yesterday and decided to try it out. I thought what's more 'merica then buying shaving gear at the hardware store. Still the vintage old brand and still made in the USA. This is NOT anything like Barbasol in a can. This could use a brush but I managed with my fingers and it was actually pretty slick. It felt good to shave with. I wish I had this yesterday.

Now the shave, WOW!!! I had this NOS pack of Gillette Thins and I thought why not I'm going all in. I opened it up and it looked like new. I LOVED it! I was expecting harshness but I got silky smooth. I have to use it again tomorrow. I started off hesitant and instantly realized, holy cow this is amazing and just went at my face and head like normal. 1/4 turn back for face, snugged down for neck, 1/8 turn back for under nose/chin, 1/4 turn back for top of head first pass, 1/8 turn back for top of head second pass, and snugged down last pass/touch ups.

No weepers, extremely little irritation on the neck, incredibly smooth skin.
