Free Shave:

Gear: RR Hawk (v1) SE, Feather Pro blade (4), RR Big Bruce synth, Williams soap (modern; as preshave), Proraso Red soap, generic witch hazel, and Proraso Red AS to finish!

Continued the sandalwood theme today with a very nice shave using Proraso Red. Shave was pretty smooth overall, though perhaps not as close as yesterday’s. That was a bit surprising given my full prep today and the fact that the shave felt better. The Feather Pro feels like it’s still nice and smooth so far, but still too early to confirm if flipping the blade each shave is actually doing anything.

I think I’ll continue till Saturday with SE only shaves, then bring back in the Feather with mixed DE/SE finishes. It’s just about time to throw myself some curveballs with an open blade only shave here and there; it’s been a while.

Back to work today! Christmas concerts begin Friday evening running through Sunday evening. Unfortunately that means no early closings for me this weekend, I’ll likely be cleaning up until 11ish or midnight instead. Today should be OK, but the week will get progressively busier.

Everyone in the family is anxiously awaiting Christmas break.

Happy Tuesday all!
 
Keep going... the holiday season will be over soon!

I saw williams in the shave gear and physically cringed. Glad it was just used as a pre-shave,

What? I love Williams! Seriously good stuff.

Is Tom's Reindeer Buddy listening? I think he needs some Williams!

Lol thanks Tom!

I must say that if things went downhill, I could easily adjust to Williams lather. The slickness it provides is insane.

Williams is good soap. I could shave happily for the rest of my life if I only had modern Williams Mug soap to use. I am glad that there is a vast wealth of soap out there, but just because there are better soaps out there doesn't mean that Williams is bad.

And it does make for an excellent pre-shave soap also.

Just a quick entry today before I head to work. Decent shave today, a little bit of irritation on the corners of the mustache area from losing the angle and pushing the shave. It was definitely all me. I did put the Hawk back on its original handle after 2 shaves on the stainless handle. Tomorrow I’ll retry El “Guapo” Jefe.

Still lots to do on my teaching, but it’ll be ready for tomorrow!

Happy Wednesday!
