Brush: Shavemac Olive Wood 20/44 Silvertip 2-Band
Soap: Vitos Red
Razor: SS Gillette Tech with custom olive wood handle
Blade: Gillette Super Stainless (8)
ASL: Proraso Red

New Gillette Tech Training, Phase 1 (10 shaves), complete. :biggrin:

That was another very nice BBS shave. In fact, when I thought "Lo Storto Originale next" I was a little disappointed. I've grown to love this dirt cheap, stainless steel, P&G Chinese made Gillette Tech.

Even though I'm now getting BBS shaves easily with the Tech, I know there's still plenty more to learn. So I'm already looking forward to Phase 2 (whenever that might happen).
Ready when you are...

A relaxing sunday morning shave.

Another comfortable 3 pass + pick ups near BBS shave with no errors to report.

The humble Boots shave stick provided a slick protective lather in a short space of time leaving a superb post shave feel to my face.

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of Boots ~ Freshwood ASB.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.;)

Stay safe, and enjoy you sunday ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

 
Saturday Night

‘62Tech
Gillette Yellow (8)
Omega Boar
Tabac Stick
Pinaud Clubman AS

Very close 2 pass BBS shave.
This blade seems to have dulled faster than usual, it was not at peak performance anymore. So I binned it.
No problem as I have lots of other blades to use. Over 800 I estimate!
Enough to shave well into my 80s if I live that long..... next shave will be with the Edwin Jagger again loaded with the Personna that’s gone for 14 shaves already.

Soap with mild scent of almond. Face lathering with brush is nice and produces a good head. Slickness was ok.
Shave with razor paired with blade feels smooth and comfortable as if no blade but somehow it bites today on the chin area. Rare to have multiple weepers from this mild razor. 3 multiple passes enough. Between bbs to dfs. Somehow this blade is not as good as Polsilver but not final outcome as yet. Rating today 8/10
