Hello everyone,

Tuesday 20 August

The Occam’s razor design team don’t do things by half, first there was the Oren with its quirky blade loading procedure and then the Enoch I used today with the 2 piece head connected by a dovetail joint. Let’s not keep it simple folks! Which is somewhat counter to the philosophical Occam’s Razor which says that if you have two competing ideas to explain the same thing you should prefer the simpler one.
So the shave, thanks for asking, it was fine, bbs in two passes and still using the Pro Guard x7. The Blas de Lezo is one of the 3 Jabones de Joserra artisanal soaps that I have and they are all excellent.

Enjoy the day fellas!

Razor: Gillette New Deluxe "Cruiser "
Blade: Personna Super USA
Brush: DS Cosmetics synthetic
Soap: Jikoryen
Post: Dickinson's Witch Hazel
After: Old Spice Classic
Notes: I got out my new deluxe for 1 days growth shave. It is my most aggressive vintage Gillette razor. I really took my time, tried a keep light pressure as this razor is on the heavier side. 3 passes, BBS. Surprisingly I had no irritation just one weeper on the upper neck. I had planned to get rid of this razor but I'm going to keep it.
