[never-stop-learning]

While wandering around the house looking for something to try as a pre-shave oil, my wife hands me a bottle of CVS sesame oil based bath oil to try.

Now I know this stuff is slippery from all the times I've just about slipped on it after she uses it in the shower.

So, why not!

Pre-shave: Steaming hot towel followed by CVS Sesame Oil Bath Oil
Brush: Omega Boar
Soap: Tabac
Razor: TAA DOC
Blade: Feather (3rd shave on the blade - now retired)
Post-shave: Alum block
Cologne: Original Stetson

8/10 Exceedingly close and smooth. Only had two very minor nicks.

The oil was great and, according to my wife, is inexpensive.

48 hours growth

Prep: Hot towel
Soap: VDH Luxury
Brush: EJ BBB medium
Razor: Gem Clog-Pruf
Blade: Gem stainless coated (5)
AS: Proraso green

I rarely issue a full ten points to a shave. But today I had one. 10/10

 

[Tanuki]

Less than 24 hours of growth

Prep: 2 x scrubby lather with Williams Mug, HOT rag wash off
Soap: DG After the Rain
Brush: vintage Ever-Ready 900, original boar knot
Razor: Gem push button Contour
Blade: Gem PTFE (7)
AS: homebrew, a menthol heavy face freezer

4/10 and I’m being generous. Mediocre soap with an excellent scent, extra mild razor. No danger, not much efficiency either. When I put this blade back in the MMOC it will shave just fine. AS was the high point.
