Shopping?

  • Prep: Hot Shower
  • Brush: Wahl Traditional Barbers Badger Brush
  • Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89
  • Blade: Derby Extra (2)
  • Lather: Mühle – Aloe Vera – Soap
  • Post Shave: Alum Block, Proraso Eucalyptus & Menthol Refresh Pre-Shave Cream

An interesting shave this evening. A BBS result in three passes.

For some reason the soap wouldn’t lather as easily as previous attempts. The only change I made from previous attempts was using cooler water to soak the brush. My gut feels that is the real reason. I’ll have to try it again next shave in 2-3 days.

Given I had my birthday shave the other day, my SO has allowed me to treat myself to some new shaving products. I’m tossing up between Tabac, Barrister & Mann Seville or A&E Vanilla de Tabac. Any suggestions?

Mid-week

  • Prep: Hot Shower, Proraso Eucalyptus & Menthol Refresh Pre-Shave Cream
  • Brush: Wahl Traditional Barbers Badger Brush
  • Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89 Knurled
  • Blade: Derby Extra
  • Lather: Mühle – Aloe Vera – Soap
  • Post Shave: Alum Block, Proraso Eucalyptus & Menthol Refresh Pre-Shave Cream

A mid-week shave with a new brand of blade.

First shave with the Derby Extra blade. Bit of a mixed outcome. Some extra strokes required for a smooth shave left a few little stings from the alum block. Otherwise a decent shave. Hopefully the second use in a few days will have less zings.

  • Blade: Feather (4)
  • Lather: MÜHLE Aloe Vera Shaving Soap
  • Post Shave: Alum Block, Proraso Eucalyptus & Menthol Refresh Pre-Shave Cream

I took the time today to do my damnedest to get a BBS on my birthday. After three passes I think this is as close as I will ever get to a BBS shave. WTG+XTG+ATG with the EJ DE89 in my collection.

Not a single nick today on this shave as I took my time for my birthday shave. This is also my first in a while nick-free as I get used to the DE89 and my first few uses of the ultra sharp Feather Blade.
