Shave #25 of 2019:

Gear: Assured Razor, Assured blade (3), RR Big Bruce synth, Proraso Green soap, generic witch hazel, and Proraso Green balm to close!

Made a (failed) attempt at the Speed Challenge for the month. The actual shave was about 8 minutes. Gave myself a good nick in the process. Did complete the Assured Razor Challenge though!

Thanks Dave! Feeling a bit more energetic today so far. I do have the morning shift tomorrow though (after tonight’s shift I have to turn around and be back in less than 10 hours), so that might change quickly lol.
 
Shave #26 of 2019:

Gear: Colonial General Aluminum, Feather Pro blade (17), RR Big Bruce synth, SS Citrus & Bay soap, generic witch hazel, and Bootlegger’s Bay Rum AS to finish!

Just a quick entry today, I’ve already been at work for 30 minutes! I know right? Who is this guy?

So after 3 shaves with the Assured Razor and blade, I found a new appreciation for the General Aluminum and the Feather Pro I previously thought was bad. A comparatively excellent shave today...world of difference in in-shave-feel from the last 3 days!

Energized this morning, though still a lot of funk hanging around in my innards. Looking forward to finishing this day and starting my weekend!

Have a great Saturday all!
 
Funny how you can sit down a craptastic razor, grab better gear and the world brightens ? Hope you have an easy day and can recoup more this weekend.

Thanks Tim!

Given my last Aluminum General shave entry, how I thought it was probably a tad too light and the blade was on its way out, coming back to it after 3 shaves with the Assured certainly altered that opinion! I must be getting spoiled!

Shave #27 of 2019:

Gear: Colonial General Aluminum, Feather Pro blade (18), Yaqi SF synth, Elite Clown Puke soap, generic witch hazel, Fine L’Orange Noir AS, and Terre D’ Hermes frag to finish!

Another quick entry as we head out to services. Per usual, trying to end the shave week on a super high note. Just a good, solid shave today! I think ultimately I could settle for an aluminum if I couldn’t get one of the others. The heavy handle definitely helps.

Final thoughts on the Aluminum General in tomorrow’s video and start of some shaves with the Toggle as well as working back in the Feather SS into my routine...it’s been over a month! I also get to try my first slant shave at some point! Exciting!

I think the only “type” of razor I have yet to acquire is an injector.

Really great day after work with the family yesterday. No one got in trouble, no arguments, we got to play games, watch a movie together, have dinner, go out for a special fro-yo treat. I wish every day could be like that!

Happy Sunday all!
 
Maybe I’ll have to use one of those crappy razors to gain a new appreciation for my existing gear lol.
 
Shave #28 of 2019:

Gear: Gillette Toggle, Assured blade (4), Yaqi SF synth, 3 soap mix (CBL Barbershop, AOS Sandalwood, and Catie’s Bubbles La Rose du Mechant), generic witch hazel, and Stirling Vanilla & Sandalwood to finish!

Ugh just a hell of a day. Sorry for the lateness, had some major issues getting the video together today. Quality drops for the last segment, apologies.

If you are watching along or reading this - Bruce (Greybeard), Chris (the CBL variety), and Dave (the Xeno persuasion) are named for the 3 soap, 1 bowl call out!
