Damn Comfortable Shave

[Chan Eil Whiskers]

@Chan Eil Whiskers have you ever tried one of these on your soul patch area?
It's the Merkur moustache trimmer, I suspect it might work for you:

No, I've not tried it. It might work, but I'm interested in using only one razor per shave.

I'm getting better with the Wolfman 1.15.

Better, including in the soul patch area.

Today's shave was a good many hours ago. I've been traveling most of the day, having driven about seven or eight hours round trip to see my grandson, have lunch with him, and give him some shaving gear. My morning shave has held up well.

Happy shaves,

Jim

Just a thought, cheers.

Just a thought, cheers.

The thought was appreciated. It is a very interesting razor. I've occasionally wondered what using one would be like, but I am clean shaven.

Happy shaves,

Jim

Cut my hair this morning with my wife's help.

Happy shave to you (and happy haircuts),

Jim

The page could not be found. Now I’ll never know how it turned out and wonder if you really have waist-length hair and are laughing at we who apply scissors or clippers to our upper noggin.

Sunday's shave was pretty good.

Wizamet SI, flipped PAA Cube 2.0 Vitos Red Cocco​

The Tibam titanium New York handle pairs nicely with the Wolfman WR2 1.15.

It's not that I dislike it but this pineapple bay rum is probably the least of my favorites in my bay rum collection.

Yesterday my bathroom light fixture pull chain off and on mechanism broke so I have an unlighted shave den today. I'll get it fixed in a day or two or three (depending on what exactly it needs to fix it). I'm glad it's not December as I'd have to use another bathroom for shaving were it any less bright.

Pretty good shave anyway. I like this razor. Like the entire kit actually.

Happy shaves to you,

Jim

Weird.

The link worked for sure when I tested it.

Here it is again, but no photos.

Just a regular men's haircut.

Worked this time. Thank you.

I was hoping for a Mohawk...

No one’s stopping you

Someone besides Al @AimlessWanderer needs to be an example of self restraint around there! lol

 

[thombrogan]

And what better way to demonstrate restraint by only partially shaving your scalp?

Monday my shave was pretty good especially considering the current inadequate lighting (no lights) in my shave den (will be fixed pretty soon).

I'm continuing along with the Wolfman WR2 1.15.

• Loaded with a flipped Wizamet SI blade.
• Using the PAA Cube 2.0 in the shower to wash my face and as a preshave.
• Today's brush, the Maggard 70/30 on an old Thater handle.

Really nice products. I like this bay rum a lot.​

It's pretty clear to me shaving with enough light is better. It's also clear to me I got quite adequate shaves with inadequate light (not that I was shaving in the dark).

Happy shaves,

Jim

I can do your Mohawk's, gentlemen.

Other than that, I'm not signing up to do haircuts, but those "look easy."

Happy shaves,

Jim

All this talk of mohawks reminds me of this:

I was at the mall the other day eating at the food court. I noticed an old man watching a teenager sitting next to him. The teenager had spiked hair in all different colours: green, red, orange, and blue. The old man kept staring at him.

The teenager would look and find the old man staring every time. When the teenager had enough, he sarcastically asked, “What’s the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?

The old man did not bat an eye in his response… “Got drunk once and had sex with a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my son.”

So, this arrived today. Once I feel 'wealthy' again the Semogue mistura is next.

Tuesday's shave was good.

Flipped Wizamet SI Cube 2.0 shower and preshave Wolfman WR2 1.15 Tibam titanium New York handle Semogue LE Three Band Silvertip​

This Limited Edition brush was not inexpensive but I think it was a great value. I like it very much. If it were a larger knot I'd like it even more.

I'm enjoying this titanium handle (the New York Tibam) on the Wolfman. In my opinion it pairs nicely with the head.

This morning I had lights in my shave den. The fixture's switch was replaced yesterday. Nice to have plenty of light.

I'm a bit under the weather (as are many people here) with some bug going around. I went to work, but decided to leave (not a good idea to work when I'm not fully paying attention to my job).

Happy shaves,

Jim

I hope you feel better soon, Jim. Sending good vibes.
