So I'm a daily shaver and for years and years it would be seldom to skip a day. On another forum someone started keeping track of consecutive days shaved without missing and so I started counting from that point. I probably had longer but that's as far back as I had checked my journal. Kinda a stupid thing to track but I figured I'd keep it going here to since I have kept it even though not sharing. I saw I was coming up on 900 consecutive and thought it a good time to add it going forward to the journal. I've found that even if I've had a bad shave as I did recently with my 1st outing with the Clauss Automatic (I'l revisit her too) that frankly left me bloodier than I have been in 13 years, I can still NOT skip a day by choosing a milder razor. I still do 3 - 4 passes and the face heals just fine. Today was shave 900 consecutive since keeping track and I wanted a special soap. I had a sample of the Greenfresh sent to me by Paul (mrdoug) and it smelled so good, I ordered the soap, splash and EDP before I used it. Today's use confirms that it was a good buy. The soap is more a croap or cream but yields great lather that just feels so good to my skin. The Krect was the removal tool of choice today and I did some comparing between the 2 I have and found the difference in the shaves. The replated one is still a great shaver but slightly less smooth and I found an area of material that was probably over removed in the prep process before plating. A little lip on the top of the guard of the base plate. It such a subtle thing and yet makes a slight difference in the smoothness. Today I used the re-plated handle with the head that has not been refinished. I may sell the other now that I have solved the puzzle as it would be a great shaver still for someone that enjoys the history of this brand. Can't wait for the complete Ethos set to arrive. Today I chose the Proraso Green and Paco Rabanne 1 Million to wrap things up. Have a great day Guys and Gals !

Here are the 2 plates to see the difference. I noticed on my non re-plated that one side is ever so slightly more smooth a shave than the other side and you can see that the lip on that side is slightly worn also. Re-plated is on top and right of respective photos.

Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 918

This was one of those shaves for the ages. Just everything clicks and you think I could just use this stuff alone for the rest of my life !

YEAH RIGHT !!!!


It was an amazing shave though and I will say that my Krect Spiral Curve Slant if I truly could have only 1 razor and had to pick ONLY 1 razor, I could honestly say this would be it. Vintage/Modern wouldn't matter. This would be it !! The GE Jones Shake Sharp is a close 2nd but this is it. We'll see if that changes when the Shake Sharp MK-1 arrives............Of course I don't have to pick just one and love the variety and change up required when using different razors. Keeps you and your technique on it's toes. It's my long Thursday and debating whether I'll take tomorrow off or get ahead on things. Have a great day Everyone !!
