Shave #177 (321 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Supply Injector (2-dot plate), Supply blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, JoHS Turkish Bath soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and Barbasol PR AS to finish!

Couldn’t see pilot Chris’ Barby PR shave yesterday and not have one of my own this week!

Switched it up to the 2-dot plate today. Definitely much more efficient than the 1er but you have to be super careful with any pass even marginally resembling ATG. Came away with a couple follicle nicks but overall a decent shave. This razor just has an aggressive tendency, but if you can master it (or are OK not going ATG), the shaves are great!

Really enjoying pulling out the Turkish Bath soap more often. I used to be of the mindset to hoard it, because it was the only barbershop scent I had...but really these JoHS tubs are ginormous and I have my favored CBL one to boot, so why not use it more often!

Normal work shift later today. Going in briefly for about an hour this morning to help close up the elder’s bible study for the summer break, answering final questions on the books of Amos and James...on the spot! Thankfully the regular teaching pastor will be present as well. I wore a little extra deodorant anyway in case I get stuck in the hot seat. ;)

Have a great Thursday all!

I have one if you or @GearNoir want to try one.

I think that’d be cool John! It’s definitely got some heavy detractors and then people that just love it. It’d certainly make the decision easier on whether to continue pursuing one or to just look out for a Schick Adjustable.

Shave #178 (321 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Supply Injector (2-dot plate), Supply blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, SS Citrus & Bay soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and Bootlegger’s Bay Rum AS to finish!

Nice shave with the Supply Jectah today. This thing’s plate 2 is highly efficient!

Bay was the order of the day! Silky slick lather from the Citrus & Bay along with the BBR pairing...shave excellence!

Off to work a bit early, so that means I get home early too! Whoop whoop! Should be an easy day today.

Have a great Friday all!
