Hot Dam…askeene!
I was digging around looking for a plated Shovelhead when I opened a box that had a nice plated 1912 that somehow was put away with a Jr. bar handle. After examining it I realized it was a Damsskeene open comb that had somehow evaded the rotation for some time. It was like having a brand new razor to try out.
I hated to be reunited with my Damaskeene by throwing a blade that already had nine shaves on it, but not to worry, it was a perfectly smooth comfortable shave. I usually toss my GEM PTFE blades after ten shaves whether they need it or not, but decide the shave was so “uneventful” that I’d keep it around for number 11.
Cognac & Cuban Cigars…mmmmmmmmmmm…one of the finest tobacco scents out there!
This is the tallow, triple milled version. There is also a standard vegan version.
Very nice Damsskeene! Even better soap and matching aftershaves...!!! Absolutely agree it's one of the finest tobacco scents out there! I only managed to get the vegan version and the balm but it's soooo good and very happy with it!

Greetings,

Early morning shave.

The grated Palmolive shaving soap was the star of the shave this morning....It doesn't matter which way i use the humble Palmolive classic shave stick , it never fails to provide me with a super protective slick lather leaving a good post shave feel. Superb stuff!.

It's a great shame that this humble stick is no longer on sale in the UK...I have seen two sticks on eBay UK going for £17.95p +£2.95p Economy Delivery...Sheer exploitation.!!!

The Katana & Euromax Platinum duo continued to cut through my stubble with effortless ease.

A Enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Wilko Men's Moisturiser.

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

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.😎

______

Pre: Wash w/CeraVe bar
Lather: Noxzema Medicated goo
Razor: RR "Mamba 70"
Blade: Astra green
Post: GBS Alum bar
Balm: CeraVe Lotion
Frag: Caron "Yatagan"
Figured I'd break out a can of
ten-year-old Noxzema goo,
see
how it holds up.

Initial pass was good after I really
worked the stuff in. Second pass was
okay, but both suffered from a lack of
residual slickness. That is, I couldn't
just re-wet areas needing a touch-up,
but had to squirt some fresh goo on them.

Pretty much any traditional brush lather
would have left enough slickness to simply
rewet, rather than re-lather.

Final result was a good shave, save for
a weeper that required a styptic pencil.

So back into the cupboard the
Noxzema goes for another ten years.

Stay healthy,

Bill
