An experimental shave that turned out rather comfy and pleasant. I am changing to shaving with the grain for most of the shave, and although I didn’t get as close as usual, the shave was tame with all the interesting different scents used today. Nice!

November 29, 2024 Friday shave

Razor: Henson AL13 +++
Blade: Gillette Nacet (2)
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Brush: AP Shave Co. 24mm G5C
Bowl: Captain's Choice Heavyweight copper
Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman

Using the Henson +++, this three pass shave produced a great result. Had one weeper that disappeared on its own.
The +++ is more efficient than the Karve Overlander, but is a little bit harder on the skin. But, it gives a very close shave!
Still trying to get the AP Shave Co./The Razor Company brush to lose its square knot profile.
Happy Weekend, everyone!

Great Fatboy Friday today. Everything worked together for a great shave. I had a red spot or two that didn't last through the post shave. Not much else to say when a shave is this good.

(Face & Head Shave)

A new eclectic shave set up to start the Weekend. A close comfortable face & head shave to end November wonderfully.

Throughout the month focus the Parker 87R & 94R/Treet Dura Sharp (Carbon) Blue Pack blades duo has provided me with consistently close comfortable shaves taught me how to get the best from both razors. I highly recommend doing a month focus with just one or two razors, by doing so your shaving technique improves multitude, and appreciate razors that you have infrequently used.

Earlier in the month I had an over due ruthless den clean out of DE razors which where the Parker 99R 89R, & Muhle R89 + two Chinese plastic handle "Tech Type" head clones of which I have now passed on to family & friends who I know will put them to good use.

I'm now quite content with the razors I have remaining in my collection, and don't have any desire to purchase anymore in the distant future.

For my December focus I had all intention of using the Merkur 34C HD & Edwin Jagger DE 89 (Kelvin) but changed my mind at the last minute and decided to use & alternate my Chinese super-speed clones the Baili BD177 Rose Gold TTO & Yintal 9306-I TTO instead paired up with the Dorco Prime Platinum blades for my face shaves, & continue to use a variety of Cartridge razors for my head shaves.

Finishing the shave of with a few small squirts of Milton Lloyd Essentials No 15 EdP to the pulse points.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.

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