Shave of the Day Thread - 2020

[klinker]

I would never consider parting with my 34C. With a new feather blade - this is the most reliable and flawless BBS I can achieve (with zero risk of bloodshed). A perfect piece of engineering for mine.

Well said.

I thought for a moment that you might have got bored with December and leapt into your time machine to go back to May, until the penny dropped that you're in MA...

As a matter of fact, I am bored with December. It's already another bleak winter up here.

So I gather. But would you really want to do the last six months all over again? (Shudders)...

Based on the reports of what's coming here, the last six months might seem like a cakewalk.

Funny, my 34C (though mine no longer) used to bite me much more than my R41 ever did. Though the latter did give me a case of razor burn to remember when I went straight in for a full 3-pass shave + buffing with a Feather the first time I used it...

Pre-shave: Warm Water
Brush: Wolf Whiskers - custom 25mm Black Wolf
Soap/Cream: Squadron - Empire
Razor: CJB - AC Kamisori
Blade: Schick Proline (7)
Post-shave: Squadron - Empire AS splash / Nivea Men - Sensitive Moisturiser

2 pass + touchups = BBS. That was one interesting and good shave. First time with the Kamisori, and the first non DE in over 20 shaves, all left handed, no skin pulling, and lots of blade feel. My patience was rewarded with a weeper free BBS. Concentration factor 10/10, and the Proline blade was good at letting me if the angle wasn't quite right. Shaved similar to 5/8 straight.
