Pre-Shave: Innisfree - Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam

Nothing like a new shirt and a fresh shave
Today’s shave was a nice break after setting aside my honing stones for a bit. St. James cream did a nice lathering job with its delicate bergamot scent. I really can’t smell any sandalwood, but what I do smell is pleasant.
You can always depend on a Shovelhead to give you a good close shave, though that hollow metallic audio feedback always throws me off at first.
Nice close shave.
New yellow shirt. (linen Tommy Bahama)
Smelling great….
Feeling great…….

The Chinese Gillette Super Blue paired together with the Pearl SBF-11 razor superbly making a smooth non-aggressive efficient razor & blade duo...The blade feels comfortable sharp & smooth....The sinister looking image on the pack cover looks like "Bela Lugosi" with a mustache I was expecting the blade cover to have "Made in Transylvania" printed on it with an attention warning stating "Do not expose to daylight, for night shaving only."

I suspect that endless copies of copies haven't helped the King's portrait one bit.

Personally, I think they're great blades (but a bit expensive).

Here's Bela Lugosi and King Gillette at (I would guess) around the same age:

An electric man.

Fans of Lugosi will recall the bat luring after shave he concocted in "Devil Bat".

generous samples that enabled this.
