Another Army day today. The little Swede is true to its heritage. It gave a BBS shave, even though I need to take it back to the stones for a little play time, I believe. I tend towards larger blades, but I'm always impressed by this diminutive little imp. Great week of shaves gentlemen, I can't wait to see more!

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Astor Simpson
Razor: Klas Törnblom
Soap: Provence Sante
AS: ROMA
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Mr very, very clean
Borderline Uberclean

.

Razor: Gillette Rocket HD

Blade: Perma-sharp

Brush: shavemac silvertip

Lather: RazWar Classical shaving soap + RazWar All Natural Shaving cream

AS: Old Spice Whitewater

EdT: Polo Blue

Summary: A simple Saturday, because DE shave is so easy and it's a great choice for a comfortable and simple shave. I loose my ritual of stropping, and the feeling of straight but some variations are good, this way my blades don't become rusty...lol...The RazWar cream and soap works very well, well done for a brand that's known by its cartridge razors. The aftershave is the fresh final for this close and smooth shave. I have neglected Polo Blue but seldom I like to wear its marine fragrance.

You need at least a couple more in your collection. As an enabler (if I may), Wacker makes a nice near wedge. Frederick Reynolds is another good one. Helje #41 (if you can find one), is a superb wedge (a pain to hone though), Wosty Celebrated IXL (used yesterday), albeit 1/4 to 1/2 hollow is one that like to act like a wedge. There's more (David's JR is another...see post below yours)

You Sir, truly are an enabler, and I'm sure there would be a few other guys around here who would agree.
Now you got me thinking, "Yeah, maybe I do need a few more wedges". I have an unidentified Sheffield wedge on the to be restored pile. Maybe some work on that might save my wallet some weightloss.

No shave for me tonight, hope your all having a great weekend
Grant

I am anxious to see which razor you found to provide a better shave and how it was honed.

I started my day with heavy ugly clouds in the sky and a short run over the Cross Bronx Expressway North. The road can jar your teeth loose and the winter was not kind to the road. Made it to Manchester about an hour early and am now sitting in a nice bistro called "Between Rounds."
On my way here, the roads smoothed out and the sky cleared and I had a wonderful drive. It is now beautiful outside as predicted and I am enjoying the morning.

Enjoy the day!!
