Saturday Shave
GD 1996 Razor
Fluffy Industries Copper Edition Brush
Victory Shave Flak Bait Soap
Nivea Deep AS
Third time was a charm for the 1996. Every once in a while the ghosts of the Shogun Masters. Like to mess with 'ol Fluffy. And send him a PITA to get honed correct blade.
Keep me humble. My routine and bench test for razors is pretty established. And usually the only time I need to go back to the hones is if one section of the blade isn't up to par.
No real solid idea why this one passed my bench test but did so poorly on the shave test Twice!. But there is no quitting or shedding brushes in my shave den. No crying either.
Just sharp razors and good smelling/working soaps and aftershaves.
Hope you all had a good Saturday.

Sunday Shave
Boker Red Injun Razor
Razorock Gealously Badger
Zingari Soloist Soap
Skin Bracer AS
First shave with my Boker Red Injun. It doesn't disappoint. The old Bokers have a well deserved good reputation. They are just as good as any other vintage maker. This model is a plain jane solid razor. With the added bonus of having a 110% Non PC name. Almost want to get a Washington Redskins jersey to wear when I use it.
Monday is just up the road. Put your highbeams and seatbelts on people.

Monday’s shave
Gold Dollar 1996
Omega Boar
Seaforth Spice
Old Spice AS
Will be using this 1996 every other shave for a while. Curious to see it’s edge retention.
Good day today until I started to do my lawn mowing. The damn Cicadas are being jackwagons. Plus my trusty very old Stihl trimmer is dying on me once it gets hot. Suspecting it’s a coil issue. But could be crankcase seals. Not sure if I want to keep messing with it. It really does go against my instinct to give up on equipment.
We’ll see what happens.
