Razor: Yates 921 Hybrid/Gillette Plastic Tech Handle
Blade: Wizamet (1)
Brush: 1979 Burma Shave Boar
Soap: Lakewood SOCP (1508.5 Project)
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Nivea 2 into 1 Splash
Fragrance: Tommy Bahamas St. Barts

Back to the 1508.5 project and this was a recovery shave in that I wanted something effective but not overly aggressive. The goal was to get a close shave and not add to the tenderness  was still feeling in places from yesterday's debacle. That said I could feel on the 1st pass that I really should skip a day or 2 but I'm at over 2 years of never missing a shave since I started taking note as a daily shaver. I considered stopping after 2 passes but wasn't happy with what I could feel and envisioned how much growth I would have by afternoon. Completed 3rd pass and after post shave I felt better than yesterday. The Nivea 2 into 1 only available from Germany is amazing stuff for recoveries. I know it will take multiple careful days to make up for the thrashing I took on Friday from that Yaqi razor. We'll get there but I have another loaner 3D printed razor coming today to review.............Have a great weekend folks !!

I too used the Yates Hybrid to recover from pushing a blade a little to far in one of my aggressive razors. The hybrid never fails me.

The things we do on the name of shave science! Maybe some Psycho Tech shaves are in order?

Silly Sunday Shave

Sunday January 31, 2021
Razor: TNNSER
Blade: Gem (?)
Brush: Stuart/Timberwolf
Soap: Fuzzyface Monkey Farts
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Clubman Citrus Musk
Fragrance: Acqua Di Gio Profumo

Well today I felt like a fun shave and I can tell you any rawness is gone, I feel smooth and refreshed. Shaved with some Monkey Farts today spread around the mug by my assistant Stuart. The 3D printed one sent for a trial arrive damaged and I will attempt a repair so the pass around can continue. Suds (Farts) were removed by 1 of my 3D printed TNNSER razors that has a Gem blade with unknown number of uses. VERY audible razor but always produces a glass smooth shave result. Topped with Citrus Musk and will take some hits of the Profumo before Zoom services this morning. Afterwards the wife and I need to do some shopping for us and the Out-Laws as we do every 2 weeks. Hope all have a stupid Fun Day today !!

That does look like a fun shave. Have a great day Dave!

Love that brush! Haha

Dave, I showed that Minion brush to my kids and they got really excited!

They immediately brought me this guy to turn into a brush:



The look on his face is fitting.
