B&B SHARK WEEK 2021 starts JULY 11th!!

[FarmerTan]

First Shark shave ever today. I won't judge a blade on the first shave, so I'll save my assessment for Wednesday. A simple two pass shave today, but no blood.

'71 Gillette Tech
Shark Super Stainless (1)
Unknown Best Badger
TOBS Sandlewood
Captain's Choice Sandlewood AS
Nivea Sensitive Cool

No blood?!?!?

@BigJ : me thinks he didn't use enuff pressure....

 

[Kyle89]

Soap: Arko
Razor: Gillette NEW Long Comb
Blade: Shark Platinum
Brush: Beagle
Aftershave: Witch Hazel / Lilac Vegetal

BLOOOODD

First go with a Platinum in general, and chose the Gillette NEW which I know very well. 4 weepers and after a 3rd pass it wasn't up to par with my usual DFS standard. Pretty wicked aftershave burn as well. Willing to experiment more with this blade though as it actually felt pretty decent. I feel like I can make it work.

Pre: Proraso cypress and Vetyver
Brush: PAA StarCraft
Lather: PAA Cad
Blade: Shark Super Chrome
Razor: Dorco TTO
Post: Thayer’s, Proraso azur lime

Not a bad result but this razor definitely performs better with a Feather blade.

Day 2 of Shark Week and no blood in the water…yet!

Is the strawberry/lemonade to hide the blood in the water? If so, good luck. @BigJ told me Sharks can smell one drop of blood from New York to Soho!

True story doggone!

Not sure if they have sharks in Italy, but if they do I hope they are as gentle and smooth as this Italian shave was:

Pre: Professor green
Razor: 61’ Fatboy setting 2
Blade: Shark SS
Brush: Semogue 630 boar
Cream: Prosaso green
Post: ADP Colonia Club splash
Scent: ADP Colonia Club EDC

There was a delay in the Arko shipping, should be coming today to get on board tomorrow.

Let me know if it don't get there. I've been breeding Arko awhile now, and the War Department has been sniffin' around my inventory, if you catch my drift...

Hahaha there was NO blood shed with this friendly shark. Just smooth sailing. Very smooth and effortless shave, even on my sensitive dome skin. So far, out of the 3 variations, the stainless steel seem to be the best for me.

Sharko-Arko Day 2. Muhle R41 with a Shark SC, 26mm Yaqi Two Band, and good ‘ol Arko. No maritime incidents to report only calm seas and smooth sailing

Shark Week - Shave #2 - Shark Super Stainless

Equipment: Merkur 20C, Shark Super Stainless (2), @RolandH Homemade Shave Soap, GrayDog GreyWolf Brush

The Shave: Another nice, uneventful Shark Week shave, DFS, and, thankfully, still no blood in the water!!

 

[Old Grump]

WR2 razor
Shark SS (3)
PAA Peregrino brush
Mystic Water Unscented soap
Stirling Bergamot & Lavender AS & balm

BLOOD IN THE WATER!!! Great shave equipment, nitwit at the tiller: two weepers.

Instead of taking my usual 3 passes, I tried to "save time" with two passes and buffing. Buffing, for me, is like swimming with the chum - not the best idea.

Not a bad shave overall, though - cold water rinse closed the weepers, and the post-shave feel is great - smooth and soothed. No hard feelings against the Shark.

>> SHARK WEEK 2021 <<

Preshave: frigid tap water, PAA The Cube 2.0
Brush: Stirling finest badger fan 24/50
Soap: Ariana and Evans ~ The Undersea
Razor: Karve CB Brass Open Comb "D-plate"
Blade: Shark Super Stainless (2)
Post shave: frigid tap water, Nivea After Shave Fluid.

Another bloodless and irritation free shave with the SSS. Smooth and efficient, three passes - almost BBS.

Just two shaves in the books with the Super Stainless, but it seems to be a nice blade. The blade works flawless and drama free. Quite sharp but smooth - right from the start I liked them way better than the Shark Platinums.

Enjoy the Shark Week, y'all!

Game Changer JAWS .68 OC, using a Shark SS (2). Rockwell Shave Cream, very slick shave. I get along with the Shark and Jaws

 

[slim62]

Razor: 1958 Gillette Superspeed
Blade: Shark SS(3)
Soap : Old Spice
Brush: EverReady with modern knot
AS : Old Spice

Blade didn't seem as sharp today and was a lot more audible...still a decent DFS. Did get 4 tiny weepers going ATG on upper lip which is
always the hardest part of my shave.

It's summer, she's probably just after something to repel the bugs
