Slantember (Used to be September) Is For Slants! | Version 3 | 2020

[ponykilr]

Back to the today, only went WTG to protect my still tender face. So smooth that razor, it is simply a wonderful little italian magician.

Arko from my replica civil war mug and the Green Blok and Nivea after.

I think I can do my normal 2 pass tomorrow.

The PBOCS is only for days I can go slow and very careful from now on.

Brush: Omega 11047 Mixed Midget
Soap: Fine Snake Bite
Razor: Fine Aluminum Slant
Blade: Gillette Blue (5)
ASL: Fine Snake Bite

Another fine shave!

This is beginning to look like an advertising campaign for Fine... but I assure you it isn't. I'm just enjoying their products, with the shiny Fine Slant Razor at the top of my list.

Happy shaves guys!

First use of a Nacet blade in this razor, and it worked fantastic. Comfortable two pass no irritation BBS shave.

Slantember 25 - Gillette slantified Old Type / Gillette Platinum

I had such great slant shaves with the sTCOT while on coastal duty that I decided to test it against a box stock Thick Cap Old Type head. I had two roughly comparable St Petersburg blades in circulation, so off to the races.

Prep: more SOC break-in with Ogallala Bay Rum Lime & Peppercorn
Right side: sTCOT / 7 o'clock SharpEdge (3)
Left side: TCOT / Gillette Platinum (3)
Lather: La Toja stick, Semogue 1250, copper bowl
After: alum, Lucky Tiger, FloriLDrops badger blend

The contestants on contrasting fat Tech handles:

Given my tens of thousands of shaves with an Old Type, I of course had an excellent day at the races with this one. The sTCOT is a very similar shave, but today it kept tempting me to chase a right-side BBS to the finish. The consequences:
>edge to sTCOT on smoothness
>slight edge to sTCOT on closeness
>slight edge to TCOT on post-shave sting

Also a parade of little brushes.

I found myself going back to the re-knotted classic brush parade by @ChrisPL68. I didn't want to miss any.

Yes they are wonderful razors. I just gave my friend a Fatip Piccolo and he loves it. It's like giving someone a garden trowel to start digging their own rabbit hole.

Where did you get the cute little European badgers?

They came with an assortment of toy animal figurines from AliExpress. They were meant for my cousin's kids to play with, but I might just keep these two!

It's a riddle. Barbasol in an aerosol can. Simpson Duke 3 Manchurian. Is there something very wrong here? Or something very right?​

My wife and I went on a three week tour of the US, West coast to East coast, for her birthday and visited Pasteur's in NY. The choice was so overwhelming that after an hour of browsing I left with just this can of Barbasol - a very difficult item to get in the UK. I use it now and then as it brings back great memories of our trip. It lathers pretty well with a brush, smells good, and gives a decent shave. If you have your technique down it is possible to get a good shave with pretty much anything.
