7 February 2018 Wool Fat Wednesday shave
Pre: Hot water, soap off the puck and a hot towel
Razor: 1911 Gillette OLD Single Ring Open Comb
Blade: Shark Super Chrome
Brush: JJ#1, USS Belleau Wood CVL-124 Tribute brush by jimjo1031 of TSD
Soap: Mitchell’s Wool Fat Shaving Soap
Post: Hot/Cold water rinse, alum block, cold towelx2, Dominello Vitali Calming Post Shave Moisturizer
After Shave: Clubman Original
Not worth to stretch the blade up to a fourth shave, which I did this morning. I did this because, given that the Silver Blues are a tad more expensive than their Gillette siblings, I expected them to be a tad better and expand their lifespan a bit further. To no avail. Well, don't get me wrong, I did shave a had a good shave, actually, but the blade was perceivably less sharp. So, I'll use them three times as I do with all the other blades, but the Feathers.
