Trials of a woodpusher: Adventures in chess, backyard gardening, and maybe whisker chopping

Well, as you guys should know by now, I don't throw away shaving stuff .... and this was a gift from my niece a few years ago. 🙈🙉🙊
 
The small travel can of Dove shave gel is getting pretty light. Hopefully that means something, but I haven;t had my coffee yet, so I'm not sure what it is. 🕺
 
This is definitely a situation where if you are determined to use this "gel" that likely will cause cancer...then use it as quick as possible. I suggest over loading...is that a thing with shaving "gel?" What ever that means... :p
 
My Dove shave gel is done. 6 2-pass shaves from 42g = 3.5g/pass which is bang on for the 3-4g per "shave" (i.e. pass) estimates I have read about. As much as we turn up our noses as gels and such, it was a better performing product for me than the Shaving Yeti and the TTFFC soaps, even though they both had much better scents and were not as messy to use (i.e. I could use a brush with the soaps).

Working on the Williams as of this morning.
 
My Williams has has a few days with a Chubby synth, Shavemac 2-band, and a Yaqi Sagrada. Lather was serviceable but pass-2 was still problematic. Grrrrr Williams.

I'm suspending my Williams 3017 to perform some testing on a mystery soap package that came in the mail today. Of course, being who I am, the testing will be done using the 3017 approach, for better or for worse. 🤪

I was going to mention how glad I am that folks still practice Wet Shaving Asceticism, but post #330 crushed me. :cry:
 
In about 10 years of 3017ing, I think that I have interrupted the process only twice before. I'm pretty dedicated when it comes to using soaps.
 
After 14 shaves on a Personna in my Injector (standard amount for that blade), I switched over to my Red Tip with an Astra SP. Lots of little red dots on my chin as well as needing to bring out the styptic pencil for a small nick there as well. I blame the turkey+stuffing food coma rather than my inattention for this morning's fiasco. 🕺 Of course, this HAD to happen on a glorious day where I might get to meet TSC's Supermodel for a second time.

It's true! He is acutely aware of the impact of his looks upon others, and generally doesn't publish pics of anything other than shaving gear. Otherwise, we would just sit there wide-mouth gawking in awe at him rather than posting.
