Razor Karve Brass SB-D
Blade Gillette 7 O'clock Super Stainless 2nd

Really wow lather from the soap! Thick and slick with nice scent.
3rd shave with this razor and paired with the blade proved to be very good again. Super smooth and comfortable for 3+1passes. Efficient enough for a bbs to dfs result but 2-3 creepers were seen.
Excellent aftershaves.
Rating 9.5/10

Another excellent cold water shave.

Prior to shaving I was thinking "I don't really want a cold water shave, I like a bit of warmth." But, having promised myself that I'd give cold water shaving a fair trial, I just got on with it. I guess my system doesn't like to be reprogrammed... it was a really enjoyable shave.


Happy shaves guys.

Wednesday SOTD

Gillette New Deluxe Big Boy
Feather Hi-Stainless (2)
Simpsons Polo 8 Super
Simpsons Shaving Cream
Thayers WH
TOBS Sandalwood Cologne

I held off shaving until mid-day to allow for a 30-hour growth, only two passes were needed to get BBS with this setup. A much smoother experience & result compared to the NI Big Fellow from yesterday, but I did use a ton of cream to do the Polo brush justice so it wasn't just the razor. No nicks or cuts, just damn marvelous.

That was my second cold water shave. My posts here are just copied from my journal.

Have you started a journal yet? (I was here [at B&B] for 2½ years before I started mine.)
