A nice shave! :biggrin:

EXCEPT... I cut myself! It seems like forever since I even got one of those tiny red dots that just disappear, but a CUT?! It was an accidental (i.e. not intentional) side swipe just at the point of my chin, and I certainly felt it. Of course side swipes are not to be recommended with any razor, and particularly not with a torqued slant.

It looks like my SWB got grubby without me noticing it. It's in the wash now.

There's usually a reason for everything, so I guess it was just a reminder that relaxing is fine but letting one's awareness drop isn't.

Happy shaves guys! :001_smile
 
Wednesday night shave
95064F4A-545D-4164-97ED-DCDA96663299.jpeg


Pre: Ivory in the shower
Brush: Yaqi Moka synth
Razor: Gillette N2 1968 Slim, setting 2
Blade: Astra SP (#4)
Soap: Stone Cottage Soapworks Coconut Holiday cream
Post: Alum followed by Captain's Choice Bay Rum balm

First move up the Slim, to position 2. I can't say I noticed much of a difference. If anything, maybe not quite as close, which I would assume is because the blade is on its 4th shave tonight.

Soap (I know it says cream, but it's firmer than some croaps) was pleasant and plenty slick. The balm was also pleasant--neither greasy nor overbearing.

All in all, a good shave tonight!

Greetings,


The Ever Ready SE razors are amazingly smooth & efficient, which i highly recommend every traditional wet shaver to shave with one if giving the opportunity to do so.

The Ever Ready 1912 (US) was my first introduction to the wonderful world of vintage SE razors, kindly gifted to me by a @patw of which I'm eternally grateful.

The Wickham Co. 1912 Irish Fern soap like the Classic 24 both are a joy to shave with, providing a wonderfully scented slick protective lather, and a great post shave feeling to the face.

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

Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.

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

Stay safe, and enjoy your Day ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

Thursday’s shave is back to Tabac soap. Today I am using my Shavemac 177 Silvertip brush. This is one fine brush. The razor is a Karve SB with the D plate paired with a Wizamet blade for the second shave. Today’s aftershave is Thayers Rose Petal WH followed by Clubman. After my shower, some Yves Saint Laurent cologne
