Yesterday's shave was so good that my razor met little resistance today. I used only two passes, WTG-ATG on my cheeks and only ATG on my neck and the results are outstanding. Very close comfortable shave - fewer passes led to no irritation and very little burn from the splash. I used PAS again as I'm becoming enamored of this scent. The boar felt great again. It's hard to imagine it getting better, but I think it will - this was only the eighth use.

October 6, 2017 - my Birthday Shave

Razor - Gillette Black Beauty - U4
Soap - Mystic Water - Windjammer
AS - Old Spice Original
Brush - Wild West Brushworks - 30mm Tuxedo

Overall, a good shave. For some reason, this Black Beauty doesn't tend to shave as well as the other one I have. Ended up with more irritation from the alum block than I'm used to and have some slight razor burn. Still, a good shave was had...especially for a razor that only gets used one or twice a year!

Route 66 Lavender Woods today. 20 seconds to load the John’s Brushes Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Vintage Schick Plus Platinum still in the Gillette NEW SC. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with Bentley Intense EdT

How deep is your love...The Brothers Gibb...s. I have three Gibbs adjustables, this one had some issues, most importantly a missing spring. I replaced the red jewel and repainted numbers so at least it looks better. The shave on its mildest and only setting with a Personna 74 was as easy as you'd imagine, and with attention to angle efficient enough for one day's beard. The No 14 with a German Wilkinson finished the head shave and although balance is not as good as the heavier handled 16 it shaves equally well.

Evening shave :

Too bad, that Royal Sanders soap from Netherlands is discontinued . It gives me perfect skin protection
