Wednesday Morning Wind Up

Second shave with the Straight Bar Wilkinson and also the PAL Carbon Blade.  Blade was a bit smoother.
This is an aggressive razor and not adjustable like it's roller bar cousins.  I continually remind myself about pressure, angle, and the advantages of short strokes.  And "A British Tradition" soap is so apropos.

Second use of the MicroMatic and what a Razor !!  Blade was nice and smoothed out and the MM drove around the face like a Grand Prix winner.  Kind of a Forest Theme going on this morning.

Friday Morning Jollification

A well used 1914 Head that came to me described as "broken" by the seller.  It was mismatched with a fluted GEM handle that just turned and never tightened.  Of course it wasn't broken, just two different threadings.  So I gained a marvelous 1914 head nicknamed Crusty for it's plate loss and a very nice fluted handle for my GEM Heads.  Overall the shave was fantastic !!

I could not do that. Lol.

Which part couldn't you do? That many conservative shaves with the same razor or that many shaves with the same blade?

Using the same razor that long. Lol.  Sorry for the delay in answering.
Happy shaves to ya!
