Thursday NOvember 14

No Repeat (mostly) NOvember. No repeats so far except for scuttle, blades, and alum. Up today is one of my favorite razors, my Kirby Beard 1930.

Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
Soap - PAA Immortal Peach PK-6
Brush - Alpha Outlaw Titanium
Blade - Gillette Platinum (4)
Razor - Kirby Beard 1930
Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, PAA Immortal Peach A/S

Shave rating 5 of 5

Excellent 2 pass shave today. This razor might give me the best first pass of any of the DE razors I own when I've got 3 days or less growth. I'm not sure I'm a fan of the A/S scent - should probably leave this as a spring/summer only A/S. The alum was slightly vocal again on my neck area.

Happy NOvember and great shaves everyone.

A classic shave with a very modern twist.
I’ve found that my new aristocrat is super smooth and very efficient. A shave to frame. My thoughts after the shave was that this 70 year old razor gives ALL my modern razor a good run for their money.
