Razor: Clauss Automatic Safety Razor
Blade: Gem Carbon Steel (2)/Gem Personna SS (1)
Brush: Rubberset 400/Cashmere
Soap: T&S Sicily 1508.5
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Ethos Fresh Lime
Fragrance: Paco Rabanne 1 Million
You know when you have a shave and everything just comes together. The scent of the soap is amazing, the lather is spot on and feels soooo good, you have Lather Talk Podcast playing in the background about the new Backland Era @blacklandrazors , the razor is a cool piece of history or the latest modern razor out and it's smooth as butter............................This wasn't that shave AT ALL !
Well, it was all that except the Carbon Steel blade was just giving me stalls while trying to shave like a 1979 Chevy Chevette. After 2 passes of tugging I switched to a SS Gem and it was cutting thru the whiskers and getting me the BBS shave I desire. Problem is I was bloodier than Peewee Herman in a box fighting with a pack of Rabid Cats. I can't remember the last time I was this tore up and I mean in years ! So I'm not sure if it was the carbon steel blade and how rough it was. Trust me at how bad it was because I NEVER stop and change blades mid shave and had to. Or was it how aggressive the Clauss is. I think it's a pretty aggressive razor but can be tamed and I will but it will need to be respected. While I had the CS blade in it I was thinking this was a purchase that's one shave and into the collector status of sitting because it's a cool piece of history but I wouldn't want to shave with it. After putting the SS blade in I felt well okay now we have a shaver but she wants some respect and care given to her. A cool razor that I'm happy to have grace my den. Looking forward to twhite Tom's thoughts on his shave with his today ! I have not missed a day of shaving since I started keeping track in 2 and a half years but this shave has me contemplating skipping a day tomorrow..........................NAH, I'll get back to again tomorrow. Finished off with some Fresh Lime SFS by Ethos for repairs of the skin. Off to coffee and a piece of pie while forum reading before work. Jab 2 of the Pfizer shot was received yesterday and came home to weed whacking the hill/yard and mowing the grass. So far just a sore arm. Have a great day Everyone !!
