Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,316

I gifted a 1959 SS to a dear family friend with a Cashmere synthetic knotted brush, Stirling Black Cherry soap and a Citrus Humphrey's Witch Hazel. He will be getting more (BETTER) gear after he gets his technique down pat first. I selected my gear today to be as close to the same as what he was using. I did a zoom shave this morning with him and he is now a convert. He just texted me to thank me and said he'll not be dreading shaving anymore and can't stop feeling his face and how smooth it is. He will only get better as he finds what works best for himself. Made my day and hope all you enjoy a good one as well !

Wonderful! Love that you were easily able to make a convert. Also, amazing idea doing a tandem shave with zoom.

What blade did you send him? I thought of that from your picture. The SI are nice blades, and I found from the one I've tested so far, they last quite a few shaves. Still, IMO, they're a bit on the sharper side. Did he start off with one of those, or something smoother?

Have a great day!

Sent a Shark tuck and a Tatrato start

Nice choices to start... Nothing that will scare him off, lol.

Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,318

1st use of Summer Break Soaps and their Cannonball. It's a tropical clorine/ozone type aquatic to remind you of the pool with a Synthetic Cooling Agent that gives a great chill and is my preference to menthol as it doesn't tamper with the scent. Here's their description of it:

"Cannonball! is probably the scent we are most known for. It is also easily one of the most unique scents out there. The scent is meant to remind you of a tropical day at the pool.

Notes include: Pineapple, orange, water, ozone, and chlorine.

Cannonball! also contains a synthetic cooling agent.

This will also be the last summer that it will be available for a couple of years as I'm shifting away from seasonal scent releases."

I have trouble picking up the pineapple and orange but I did enjoy the scent. Not saying it isn't there. Just that my receptors weren't getting much of it if any. Glad to have this as it looks like it isn't coming back for awhile and is sold out most if not all places by now.

The Schick Type L5 sometimes called the Paul Revere Injector by the current crowd but not named that originally. I will say this up front, Eric MaineYooper You don't need THIS hard to find and often overpriced model, but you DO NEED an "L" model based on what your preferences seem to be. Definitely a milder shave that did not lack the efficiency the injectors are known for. The longer handle always kept me from buying one of these but if I was completing the alphabet, I figured this was the one I wanted. While I felt like I was shaving with a yardstick it was an effortless shave that yielded GREAT results. I can live with the length and adjusted technique for that. Have a great day Folk !

Why would you want a shaving soap that smells like chlorine? And do you sense that?

I just get a slight sense of yes a chlorine which reminds me of a pool which is what they were shooting for if you read their descriptor. It must be popular enough as it keeps selling out when they make it and due to them just wanting to move on to other things they are not making it again for a while and told people. Obviously like most scents it's not for everybody but apparently popular enough. I do not get enough chlorine to make it obnoxious or distracting, just a slight wiff to know that it's part of the mix. Is by no means like you're in the pool and have a heavy chlorine smell like the pool was just shocked or anything like that. Have a great day Glenn!

Hey Dave! Thanks for the enablement! I have a couple in the cart now. I do appreciate you're looking out for me!

Pretty sure the L includes the Schick Stick, Olympic, Tennis Racket Handle and the Black ones with the longer but squared off handle.

My Schick Stick is aces.
