Shave Count (DE: 501 SE: 9 SR: 794)

Pre Shave-
Strop: none
Scuttle: none
Splash and go

Shave-
Razor: Gillette Slim
Blade: ?
Brush: Simpson Berkeley
Soap: MDC Agrumes citrus (sample)

Post Shave-
Post shave lather
AS: SV Manna Di Sicilia (sample)

The Deets-
I grabbed the Slim today … just because. And I went with samples again too. The MDC was nice, faint but nice. It whipped up a really nice lather with minimal product. Had an easy three pass shave, leaving me BBS for the win! Chased that with the aftershave and I can definitely smell this one. Nice, very nice! I am really digging the SV aftershaves. Not only for the scents, but the post shave feel. Life is good!

The Deets-
Very nice shave to start the day. I was lazy and used a DE again, but it delivered. I am glad to be back on the puck again, I’m not a big bowl lather fan. Three smooth passes and I am BBS for the win! Life is good!

Home Front-
Jumped back into the rip tide that is my job. Got a few things knocked out and a few things lined up for later this week. Also got my boss to let me take off two hours early, I am physically exhausted. And did I mention that my wife gave me her summer cold? Grrrrrrrrr. Started with a sore throat last night and full blown kick my backside today.

Once SEptember is over, I want to do a Gillette week or two. I have 2 birth quarter Slims, and the Steampunk was my first one before I wanted an original. The Slim was my go to razor for over 2 years.

My Slim is not a birth year or quarter. But it was the first vintage razor I bought. Great razor!
