Wait. Important question. How did Commitment compare to Proraso Red???
Click to expand...
Commitment is probably the better soap without taking the scent into account - it’s vegan, hard puck, feels better on the skin. Typical artisan vs drug store soap comparison. Both scents at amazing though, I’d be hard pressed to pick based on that alone, but Proraso Red probably has the edge there. Proraso has the dark barbershop vibe going, Commitment is like pure simple sandalwood-similar scent (it doesn’t smell 100% sandalwood to me, but like it’s mixed with oak or something).
 
Shave #224 (332 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Feather AC DX folding, Feather Pro blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, Cella soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and Pinaud Vanilla AS to finish!

Back to some open blade shaves for a while!

Not a bad shave today, a tad rough though. Could be the Pro blade. The Schick made all things better though with an easy cleanup.

One sad note...my Cella is starting to lose its scent. The last few times I’ve used it, once lathered, it’s started smelling more generic. Performance is still the same though, so can’t complain too much!

Still a bit tired and sore from Saturday’s shift. Back at it today though for work. Hopefully our last short staffed week until the holidays. Should be a good day today; only a few meetings going in and this week is our church’s week for hosting Family Promise. It’s a program to help temporarily homeless families to transition to their next home. The families are contributing members of society, working jobs and all that, just for whatever reason they’ve lost housing for a short period. Churches like ours are put on a rotation throughout the year to help house and feed them for a week at a time.

Have a great Tuesday all!
 
Shave #225 (332 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Schick M Adjustable, Supply blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, LNHC Coconut Oud soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and RE The Stallion AS to finish!

Been up for a while already, had to open at work.

Woke up bleary eyed and fuzzy brained to the alarm, but non the worse for the wear. Freshened up and performed facial correction for the day. Nice shave overall, the Schick is indeed a mindless shaver. Started on setting 5 for the first passes, then dialed it down to 3 for the ATG and cleanup. Shave excellence!

Easy day today. Going to be hot again. Probably going to power wash some more older sections of the campus. Then it’ll be home at 3:30 to spend the rest of the day with the family!

Have a great Wednesday all!
 
Shave #226 (332 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Gillette NEW LC, Astra SP blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, JoHS Turkish Bath soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and Pitralon Classic AS to finish!

Yep, up and off to work again already!

Simple yet stellar shave with the setup this morning after a nice cleansing shower. Man, power washing can be dirty business...especially if you aren’t watching your angles!

More of the same today as far as work goes. Hot n keeping occupied.

Had a great afternoon and evening after work hanging with the family. Looking forward to the same today!

Have a great Thursday all!
