Share your Shave of the Day for Tuesday!
Coming down with something, so wanted a simple shave this morning. Proraso Red is good stuff, if a little drying.
Get well soon. My wife is still getting over the flu. It’s day 8, so hopefully only a little longer. Luckily nobody else in the house got symptoms.
Thanks. I think it’s just a slight cold, hoping it clears up by tomorrow so we can properly celebrate my wife’s birthday.
I hope that it is a slight cold as you suspect. Really bad time of year to come down with something.
Indoctrination status: [Oo..]
Today’s soap has a pretty nice goat milk base. It was easy to make plenty of lather and showed a nice sheen. The scent has a nice strength off the puck and throughout the shave.
Calendar wise this is most of a scooped tub craftily attached to this day’s satchel. I also got a sample of Southern Witchcrafts Necromantic. It has a really wild scent. To quote my wife, “Oh hell no. Use that when I’m out of town.” :)
Have a good one!

I think we’ve all heard that at some point. 😂

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
This was a test shave of a fresh Arkansas edge on this Union razor. I bought t his razor for $12, so I don’t expect a lot. My goal was to have a comfortable edge that has the personality of the Arkansas stone and provides a close shave. Comfort was definitely there in the shave, and closeness exceeded my expectations. I’d say this shave test was a success.

I haven’t used the Era in a while, but my buddy mentioned getting rid of his so I had to whip it out. I love this razor so much I’m going to buy his to keep in the family. I don’t want it going to some ingrate!
Tomorrow this blade will have 4 shaves on it, matching it to the Personna GEM Platinum Diamond Glide that I have on standby. That’ll give me the opportunity to do another side by side shave, maybe a little bit more scientific this time. I’ll try to convince my wife to load a blade in each of my Baili BR171 razors so I won’t know which is which. Then I’ll keep each razor to one side of my face and see which I like best.
That reminds me, did @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social ever reveal the scientific results of his synthetic vs Japanese natural comparison?

He called it, but he never told us which is better
~not betting on synthetic superiority though~

I called my preference (1 dot over 2), but I don’t know yet which is which. I want to try to get my third abalone as close as I can to that edge using my synthetic progression before asking @whosgotthepudding@sub.wetshaving.social to reveal which is which

From what I’ve heard, it’s just personal preference anyway! @gcgallant@wetshav.ing is supposed to send my Koraat back with a nice jnat edge. He liked it a lot though, so I may never see it again.
