SOTD "FREE WEEK" March 15th - March 21st, 2021

[4and20blackbirds]

Monday-Wednesday shaves

On the road this week. Each night was
no prep, Gillette Sensor, and Barbasol for one pass. Results were a little tugging, DFS on my face, and CCS on my neck. No doubt that DE is more enjoyable, but this combo was quick and easy for a road trip.

Friday shave

Prep: PAA Ice Cube 2.0
Soap: NO Firefighter
Brush: Omega B&B boar
Razor: RazoRock Mamba 70 on steel halo handle, #5
Blade: Gillette 7 O'clock Super Platinum, #1
Post: alum -> hyaluronic acid -> Firefighter aftershave

Skipped last night's shave in anticipation of a DE shave tonight. Two passes with a new pattern on my neck (essentially an X shape on each side) for DFS everywhere except the usual patch on my lower neck which got to CCS. Minimal feedback and irritation. First use of the 7 O'clock and it was very nice, smooth and sharp. Tried the steel halo on the Mamba 70, but couldn't really tell a difference vs the titanium handle.

Greetings,

A new shave set up to start the weekend...Continuing my month using Lord blades...The Lord Platinum Class blade are smooth and consistent very much like Personna labs in sharpness...I feel as though all the Lord blades I have used over the last few weeks could possibly be the same blade re-packaged giving different names & covers for selling purposes....However, the Silver Star feels more efficient than the Asco Super Stainless.,& Lord Platinum Class, this however could be down to the choice of razor?...As always reviews & opinions are very subjective...What is important is all the blades have been consistent with no dulling or dragging issues to cause irritation or cuts while shaving.

A enjoyable 3 pass + pickups close comfortable /near BBS shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off a with a generous splash of Tabac Original ASL.

My face is feeling smooth cool, & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.
