Shave of the Day Thread - 2020

[StratMan]

Merkur Blades, good for disecting pigeons.

I also never had much luck with them.

did 4 passes (two atg) with the WR2 and still wasnt BBS, definite DFS but that also came with a bit of roughness... lucky i only have one tuck that i got in a sample pack back when i started DE shaving

Nice shave sir. The Gamechanger 0.84 seems to be one of the most popular razors around. Mine hasn't got much use lately, but I still love it.

I still have love for this razor.
Was a really good shave
Residual slickness and post shave of DG soap was off the charts.

You should try it @Holiday push your blade as far as you can go, keep in mind YMMV using any DE blades you have in your den.

Cheers @SpeedyPC, I think 11 is my max with a GSB in GC-84.P

I dont even try any more. Shaving both face and dome on a daily basis takes it out of a blade, especially with buffing, so now I just use Nacet for Saturday to Monday, and PSI for Tuesday to Friday. Sure I could probably extend the use of my blades a little beyond this, but I can't be bothered.

You haven't experienced all the other DE blades for all your different razors in your den, so you can be able to find out which blade last longer for which razor that works for your skin and stubble.

Otherwise, you're not learning to experienced each blade brand available on the market.

Will you look at that @Tony Forsyth brush and the bowl from the auction last year - you KNOW you want to be a WINNER this year !

 

[tullfan]

Warm water
Plissoft
34c
G.S.B. 4
Proraso blue
Thayers
Proraso is,I think, a frequently overlooked product,especially the creams.
Thus far the Blue cream is my favourite Proraso,but come Summer the Green will get a workout.

@Mark1966 something is missing with your P&C 2019 lather bowl???

Aaah yes, now I remember what’s missing, it’s the CG P&C 2019 razor.
