Friday NOvember 15

No Repeat (mostly) NOvember. No repeats so far except for scuttle, blades, and alum. Up today is one of my favorite razors, my Kirby Beard 1942.

Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
Soap - Baum.BE
Brush - Rubberset #3
Blade - Gillette Platinum (5)
Razor - Kirby Beard 1942
Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Lilac Vegetal

Shave rating 5 of 5

Another excellent 2 pass shave today. Might have been better than the shave yesterday with it's older sibling. And, this is still true: this razor might give me the best first pass of any of the DE razors I own when I've got 3 days or less growth. First time using the A/S - it smells ok, I'll have to ask my wife and kids what they think. The alum was slightly vocal again on my neck area.

Happy NOvember and great shaves everyone.
