  August ANG Drill Day 1… Goop and an Octoblade

  I failed to send blades ahead for my Air National Guard drill in New Hampshire, so I’ve had to resort to a travel sized can of goop and a Harry’s blade that I’ve kept for emergencies.

  • Brush: None
  • Razor: Harry’s Disposable 4 blade
  • Blade: N/A
  • Lather: Barbasol Sensitive Skin
  • Post Shave: None
  • Fragrance: Dua’s Legendary Knight

  Honestly, the experience using this equipment wasn’t bad. It has legitimately been 8 years since I used a multi-blade razor and… maybe in the process of wetshaving, I learned how to get better at shaving. By learning technique, I had a really good shave. Like surprisingly good.

  I guess I was just bad at shaving before wetshaving… and that’s why I suffered from irritation, etc…

    I’ve often wondered what it would be like if I had to go back to a multiblade (Gillette Mach 11 or whatever they’re up to these days). I suspect you’re right, a lot of irritation we experienced with those was from poor technique.

    I use cartridges pretty frequently and have the same experience as you. Gillette carts still give me irritation, but Harry’s and some others work quite well.

  • Prep: hot shower
  • Brush: Yaqi Cashmere Synthetic Shaving Brush, Dandelion Green Handle, 24mm
  • Razor: Gillette Flare Tip Superspeed A1 (1955)
  • Blade: Lord Super Chrome (3)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Presto Shaving Soap
  • Post Shave: Nivea - Moisturizing Post Shave Balm

  I know Nivea doesn’t get a lot of love around here, but I’ve always liked using their balm for when I don’t have one that matches the soap (eg when using a soap sample, like today).

    Nivea is a good balm. I saw the non-sensitive version in a store the other day and thought about picking it up… but it’ll have to wait until I finish something else. I have the sensitive version and like it.

  • Brush: Summer Break Soaps w/Maggard 28mm Silvertip Badger
  • Razor: Gillette Red Tip Super Speed
  • Blade: Personna 74 (17)
  • Lather: Chicago Grooming Co. - Caoba - Soap
  • Post Shave: Noble Otter - Logbook - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Eufros - Dama Noche - Balm

  The bot continues to do a good job. I can’t have the bot “pin” posts, because that functionality is broken at the moment. The bot relies on a library which relies on Lemmy, and something broke back in version 18.0. I guess they haven’t fixed it yet. Pinned posts are stupid anyway, right?!

  Nice shave. The Red Tip is superb, and this blade is still chugging along.

  • Brush: Yaqi 26mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Karve Overlander
  • Blade: Bic Chrome
  • Lather: Macduffs - Dark Sky Preserve - Soap
  • Post Shave: Macduffs - Dark Sky Preserve - Aftershave

  Great shave. The scent is great and the soap works perfect. I wish they had an alcohol based splash but this one does work ok for me.
