Was going to skip today, but got my NOS Wilkinson Sword Bonded Blade razor in the mail. The Wilkinson Bonded razor was an early single-blade cartridge razor, introduced in the 70s. The razor itself is rinky dinky plastic, but the blade--Wilkinson Sword quality. Never used the razor before and my first shave was outstanding.

I've been using a Schick adjustable at a 7 for a couple days. This is the first time the razor felt efficient. I got a DFS in 2 passes and a near BBS in 3.

Had an ingrown after yesterday's shave. Broke the hair free and shaved as normal. Starting to get sub-par shaves on easy areas, so time to change blades. Will break out my Lady Eversharp tomorrow with an unknown number of shaves on it's blade.

So what does an Acca Kappa boar look like? Their current brush is vegan and eco-friendly.

New it looked like this:

I need to take a picture of it as it nears a year old. Breaking in beautifully.

Excuse me sir, but that is "space age" plastic!

This morning's shave;
Razor: Schick Type G
Blade: SChick yellow card (4)
Brush: Omega Pro 49
Cream: MWF
Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman Bay Rhum
Actually started the shave with my Gem G-Bar and after the first pull realized that it was not going to be a good idea. SO I went ahead and grabbed the Schick and carried on. This week has been a lazy shave week for me. I have only shaved every other day.

2020/09/21
Pre-Shave: Proraso Green Crema Pre Barba
Razor: Lady Eversharp (not sure of the model number)
Blade: Schick Injector (? + 1)
Soap: Van der Hagen Scented Luxury Soap
Brush: Stag B4565 with AoS starter knot
Aftershave: Chatillon Lux Bon Vivant (love this!, too bad it is unobtanium)
Passes: XTG/ATG
Result: DFS - lower neck blocks the extra point

Ingrown area all but healed. Couple of nicks, but hadn't used this razor since shortly after getting it. Handle is too long to be comfortable to me. It hits my chest when I'm doing my lower throat so I have to do XTGx2 there instead of XTG/ATG


Have a happy shave!

Razor: Lady Eversharp (not sure of the model number)

That is a K2, I believe. Mine is pink!

 

[salish]

I used my Gem Micromatic Clog-Pruf razor today with a Gem PTFE blade. This is the one that accompanied a U.S. soldier all through the Italian campaign in WWII and got "blessed" by Pope Pius XII Soap was a Williams puck (not the Arko pictured, and the brush is a new synthetic "chess" brush by Turn-n-Shave. I haven't used Williams in couple of years and I do like it, especially the scent. It dries out faster for me, though, so I need to add more water. I love the synthetic brush. I have been using the same Tweezerman badger brush for several years and it's getting pretty worn. I hope everyone is still staying safe.

Excuse me sir, but that is "space age" plastic!

Actually, true “space age” plastic is from the 50s and 60s. By 1970 it was just plain old plastic.
