What's new

Shave Roulette

0948- haslinger, plisson access, fatboy at 3, and a feather (3).

Great face lather with a good scritch. Still trying to dial in (pun intended) the FB. I bounce back and forth between 3 and 4. Kept this shave to the neck and cheeks. A marvelous three pass BBS with no weepers or alum bite.
 
Looking forward to the next shave...

Brush: Semogue Owners Club Boar
Soap: Gentleman's Nod ~ Jackie
Razor: Fatip Open Comb Slant
Blade: BIC Chrome Platinum (1)

Had a great shave, as already expected. Fatip hit the ball out of the park with the FOCS. The BIC was a great compagnon, too.

9117 is R400, Williams soap, Feather SS, clean-up with the Hybrid Tech. I can think of a lot worse shaves than that.

Looking forward to providing the numbers starting tomorrow, gents. Enjoy your shaves!
 
9117 => Omega Eucalyptus, Semogue 1250, Fatip Piccolo Mk1, BIC Chrome Plat

This should help with my cunning plan to use up my old soaps.
 
Looking forward to have a nice shave with 9117 as well...

Today’s shave with the Schick Type A was excellent:

Looking forward to tomorrow’s with the Stick Schick (L2). It’ll be a 4-pass with that one.

Least favorite brush ...... but at least it works well sometimes with this cream so I’m hopeful.

9117 => SV Stella Alpina (only playing for soaps this week). From my newly acquired soap samplers. Even if I don't like the scent I know the performance will be awesome. Can't wait for tomorrow's morning shave...

Do you mean Soap (digit 1 and 2, modulo (25))? This gives you the remainder of a two-digit integer (0-99) after integer division by 25.

Indeed, a nice shave. Unfortunately I cannot get a decent third shave out of the Feather, so I binned the blade. At least the first two shaves are splendid.

I will publish a new setup of stuff later today.

OK, gentlemen, before I give you today's spin, I want to report my shave from this morning, based on yesterday's spin. Rubberset R400 (a workhorse brush), my tweaked Williams (love it!), the Feather SS (my favorite razor!), and for clean up the elusive Hybrid Tech with a fresh blade. Needless to say, I had a fantastic shave this morning.

I find it interesting that in all this time I have been playing, the random number generator has yet to pick my Pils or my iKon S3S for the clean-up razor. They have got to pop up at some time, but not today. (I am not shaving tomorrow, so today's roll doesn't affect me).

So, without further adieu, here is today's spin:

1874


Enjoy your shaves!
 
XXXX => Fine Santal Absolut, VL Horse, German 37, KAI

That is the makings of a great shave.

I've noticed some of my choices have not been selected, also, though most of them have. True randomness sometimes does not look random to us, as creatures who try to find patterns in everything. Give it some time, the others should come up.

*This Neil deGrasse Tyson moment has been brought to you by our sponsors. We now return to your regularly scheduled program.
 
The Bolzano is another "new to me" blade. I do hope that they are less dull than the Treet Platinums. However my trustworthy yet grungy Slim will be the razor for another blade debut.
Tempting...

Brush: WestCoastShaving Two Tone Tall Synthetic 26/56
Soap: Proraso ~ Azur Limes SC
Razor: Gillette Slim
Blade: Bolzano Superinox (1)
