Sunday Schick shave, Feb 20th 2022

Razor: Stick Schick injector, L theme series- Mfg 1973, mild range, I like the change up shave with this razor(Youthful memories) mild razors have their place in the den. A twin blade gives a closer shave if that is what folks would like IMO.
Blade: Personna SS PTFE (6) excellent blade, very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely predictable.
Soap: Razorock XXX- nice clean scent when dried down + excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi 24mm coat tail synthetic, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice scrub + great lather painter.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
Post shave: Razorock XXX AS with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion + scentless.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=excellent shave with my Stick Schick injector + Personna coated blade.

Have some great shaves!

For vintage week you could say Tabac is vintage, since it is the now discontinued tallow formula. Best I can do. The brush and Speick were purchased last year and the razor last month.

For Sunday, I used my vintage Leresche open Comb razor with a Shark Super Stainless (20). I face lathered ARKO with my Yaqi Timber Wolf 26mm synthetic. Good shave.

Sorry for the late reply. It has been a rough week. I am on the fence with Love Bombs. It has been growing on me over time. I do not find the chocolate dominating, it kind of gets lost within a musky scent. I only use it around valentines day because it really isn't a favorite, although I used it more days then planned this year. I do not have the Chocolate bourbon soap so I can't compare. The real star is the Chocolate Cube. I really like this scent and it is pure chocolate. I highly recommend the cube. Scents are so subjective. I hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply. Very helpful. I have a sample of the aftershave coming so will see how that goes.

Def likely to get the cube - was already leaning that way,

Another excellent shave with the razor paired with this excellent blade. So easy, smooth, comfortable, and very efficient. 3passes for a dolphin smooth finish. Aftershaves were great for a hot humid day.

I already have parted with all the stuff I started with, thus I won't meet this week 's theme.

Anyway, today I ended my participation in the "One blade in February challenge ". I got 21 shaves out of the Perma-Sharp, but now the blade definitely is done. Overall, the Perma-Sharp proved their reputation to be a sharp and lasting blade. Approx. 16 shaves, out of the 21 to date, have been nothing but excellent, close and smooth! A good blade.

Have a great start into the new week, y'all!
