Soap: Parker sandalwood
Brush: Omega 10066
Razor: Gillette slim adjustable setting 3
Blade: Gillette Platinum (1)
AS: Proraso green

Oh man, what a great shaving experience! My first shave with the slim (and first with this blade) could not have gone better. Whiskers just jumped off my face, offering no resistance. The weight of the razor was near perfect, the handle maybe just a hair too long. 1.5 passes and DFS. My only regret is it’s a work day and I couldn’t take my time to appreciate it.

Between the citrus-scented shave cream and the citrus/pineapple scented aftershave, it was like a Summertime shave. Very good shave, DFS almost BBS...skimmed over a few spots to quickly and left a little stubble...points off accordingly. No blood or injuries. A good four-pass shave with touch-ups. I left the brush out of the picture...DOH!

Happy Shaves, Everyone!

I did not realize you get snow where you live.

Sometimes it does (5 minutes ago).

Straight shave #21

Best shave so far in terms of uniform closeness. Getting better at battling my trouble spots, mostly in figuring out the best way to stretch certain areas. Didn't shave yesterday, so unfortunately I had a few bumps on my skin so they got hacked off. No blood after rinsing though. Had that slight tingle when rinsing the face off in a few spots but surprisingly no aftershave burn.

Also tested out the edge on one of my Rolls Razor blades I honed the other day. Seemed fine, although I may end up trying to refine it a little bit but we will see. I'll judge it after I do a full shave with it. My other blade gives me the best shave I've ever had so I know this blade can be better.

Post Shave: Cold Water Rinse, Thayers Unscented Witch Hazel, Nivea Sensitive Post Shave Balm, Proraso Red AS
Rating: 9.5/10 Nice 2 1/2 pass BBS shave. 3 weepers, no cuts or irritation. Every time I use the PAA CaD I have weepers, guess I just haven't learned to dial it in yet. I get a nice thick lather, but to me it just doesn't seem to have the slickness I get with other soaps.

Smooooth. That's the only way to describe today's shave. First time using the Silver Star blade and with the Timeless it provided a very close, comfortable and irritation free shave. The Omega is fairly new and is still being broken in but whipped up a great lather with the Stirling soap. A very easy and pleasant shave and I'll be trying the blade in other razors this week as it was so good on this outing.

Sunday night's shave on 1.5 days of growth. DFS after WTG/XTG/ATG passes on a windburned face. No irritation, but two nicks around the mouth. This was an OK but not a great shave.

 

[ouchyfoot]

The Kai works wonders in milder razors but is probably a bit redundant in an already aggressive razor.

The Mühle R101 is an R41 head on a black resin handle, so yeah, it’s got some agression. I’ve got an R102 which is the white handled version.
