| Comments | A third rainy day in AZ. Back to the Mergress Lord combo. Today’s brush is the Simpson Chubby 2 – one fine brush. Makes excellent lather and feels great on my face. Some may think it is too large – but for me it’s great. A nice four-pass shave on my face and two on my head. A perfect BBS shave. Have a good day, gents. |

Razor: Wilkinson - Pall Mall (7 Day Set) 1905
Blade: Wilkinson - “Special” Wedge Blade (Sunday)
Brush: Semogue 1305
Pre-Shave: Innisfree - Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam
Lather: Stirling - Lime
Aftershave: Taconic - Lavender Lime Splash
Getting better, but not there yet
Third shave with the Pall Mall and I’m still on the learning curve. So far I haven’t obtained the kind of shave I experienced with the Wilkinson “Empire“ razor and blade. I’m still not sure if the blades could be honed to a more acute edge, but don’t know how. The last shave showed me that stropping makes a massive difference in the shaving edge. Today I gave it a vigorous 10 per side stropping. I’m always leery about over stropping and rounding my edge.
The razor seemed to be removing whiskers well enough, but was really struggling on my chin and under my nose, especially against the grain. I was overworking those areas without great results so…stop…remove the blade and strop it some more. This time I just stropped the heck out of it without even keeping count.
Back to the shave. Much better. The razor took my nose and chin down to the smoothness I was expecting. The rest of the shave went well. No nicks or cuts, but a little tenderness where I was over working before the re-strop.
I’ll get this Pall Mall razor set figured out if it kills me.
