Sunday March 14, 2021
15 hrs. of stubble
Pre: Warm Water
Soap: Ethos Pure Collection “Clean”
Brush: Rudy Vey 2019 Barbershop in Ivory and Faux Tortoise with Manchurian bulb
Bowl: Captain’s Choice Ceramic bowl
Razor: Karve “C” Plate with wide cap and EJ DE 89 handle
Blade: Wizamet (8)
Post: Murphy & McNeil “Claddagh” AS Splash
Two passes (WTG/ATG) with touchups.
Result: DFS-BBS
Remarks: Pushed it this morning, with only 15 hrs. of growth. But Sunday a.m. shaves are still kinda special. (That might change once I retire, which isn’t too far off). Went slowly and savored the experience. The “C” plate can get close, but the result is not as satisfying as the “E” plate on 36 hours of stubble or more. The “C” is quite mild to my face. The EJ DE89 handle resembles the feel of a vintage Gillette handle, which helps ensure a lighter touch with the heavier Karve head. This M&M splash has a wonderful menthol kick, but I have to use only a small amount to keep my face attached to my head. Just a nice relaxing close shave to start the day.
Happy Shaves to All!
