Vintage Shaver
Seattle, WA
Monday AM 2020-07-27
Rooney Stubby 1 Porcelain Finest (22/45)
Dusy Kabinett shaving soap
Carbon Shaving Damascus Athena/R2
Wilkinson London Bridge (10)
Ginger's Garden Rose Petals aftershave
The soap was grated and pressed this time. The scent was good when the tub was opened but became very faint in the lather. The lather was good but not really great, definitely not the equal of the tallow British soaps I sometimes use. The razor performed beautifully again, its shave rivalling that of the Paradigm 17-4. Perhaps it is partly my imagination, but it seems that its shave is significantly better than either the CX-Titanium or the regular CX-316L, at least with the two great old blades I have used in it.

WhatsIs Again:
Brush: DG Jefferson B9B
Razor: Gillette Aristocrat 3rd Gen
Blade: Feather SS (8)
Lather: Barrister and Mann - Behold the Whatsis - Soap
Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Behold the Whatsis - Aftershave
Switched up to the Aristocrat today (been using the Aristocrat Jr. the past couple shave) - I find this razor a tad smoother than the AJ, despite the having the same razor head.
Feather blade did it's magic once again and I had a very close shave. I find my skin feels a little bit raw during and after the shave but nothing too crazy. I'm glad I'm able to shave with a sharper blade without too much skin irritation - tells me my technique has improved.
Monday is here and it's a rough start - have a great day all!
