SOTD 26 March-1 April 2017

Hussy (Schick H) for the head (lol), A for beard duty. I mixed some good coconut hair conditioner in with the shave oils and I quite like the results. Super slick.

This is the Gustavo Romera brush I posted about yesterday. A few months ago when it became apparent he was never going to repair the finish on it himself and ignored all my emails I decided to do what he couldn't. So I sanded it back and applied 3 coats of yacht varnish. It's a much more glossier finish than the brush I bought but at least the water won't rot the handle. It took me 3 days to do what he couldn't manage on two separate occasions

The brush looks great and you did a fantastic job! It really is unfortunate that you had to experience such a challenging time with Gustavo.
I hope you can at least enjoy the brush.

Unfortunately it has a far greater gloss look to it but it was the only way I could ensure no further damage came to the brush. Hopefully I'll feel like using it more now that I have all that off my chest. The knot is fantastic by the way.

2nd go with my Gillette Aristocrat and still ''learning'' with my Gillette Aristocrat.

Very nice and efficient shave! Extremely smooth razor as well. 2 passes and I'm done. Reminds me of my maggards v3 standard head. I think my angle is mostly off on my ATG pass, where my angle and/or pressure is off on my right jawline resulting in redness. Really the only place I had trouble with this shave. I am consistently getting 2 pass BBS results. Which is good for me because less passes = less irritation, well at least for me. Have a good day!

The Schick G is a very nice change from my other razors. It is very easy to get a close comfortable shave without any issues. The Route 66 Perfect Storm is very good and a little harder soap than some of the other Route 66 soaps, which I like. All in all a very good three pass shave with a nice aftershave.
