I didn't use a Chubby today; a Duke 3 two band SiLVERTiP instead. What a brush. Cella, Fatip Grande OC, GSB blade, and Gillette Sun Up to finish. Still in restraint.

 

[Roedeer]

Preshave: Hot washcloth, Nuage oil
Soap: Arko, bowl-lathered
Brush: Wilkinson boar
Razors: Rockwell 6S R4, Personna #11, GC.68, Astra SP #11
Post-shave: Brut AS, Nivea Balm.

DFS, mostly with the GC.68, because the Personna was done for.

Arko plus tub down to 12g; surely this has to be on the home straight now...

[‘Bout Time]

Still in. Using some more of what I went out on last month. Completed my Stirling Bergamot Lavender set with the splash:

 

[Roedeer]

Preshave: Hot washcloth, KoS Blue oil
Soap: Palmolive, bowl-lathered
Brush: Men-U boar
Razors: GC.84, P74 #21, GC.68, Astra SP #12
Post-shave: Nivea 2-Phase.

Went back to the Personna 74, and it worked flawlessly in the GC.84. The combination feels smooth and mild.

At this rate I'm more likely to kill the P74 with a handling mishap than to wear it out.

Using the same setup as yesterday.
I think I smoothed out the surface of Schaffmilch, but not by much.

 

[Owen Bawn]

I think I've got to take a break from trying to murder this tub of Cella. After a couple weeks of daily use a small red blotch at my collar line has spread across my neck- right where my collar would sit if I were wearing one. It's now a genuine rash, and tonight's shave only made it redder. That's too bad because I'm really enjoying the soap. I'll back off it for a week to see if it clears up and then perhaps start using it only 2 or 3 times a week to see if that makes a difference.

But tonight's shave was a gentle delight, otherwise. Fatip Grande with a GSB, Cella, Simpson 2 band Duke 3, some medicated witch hazel and a little CeraVe moisturizer on my irritated neck and some vintage Gillette Sun Up to finish. I may look like hell but I smell good.

By the way gentlemen, we are halfway there
