Today's Shave:
Growth: 2 day beard
Prep: Warm shower: Stirling Sheep bar soap
Pre: None
Brush: Rudy Vey 25mm STF
Lather: PAA Supreme Sandalwood Science (CK-6 formula)
Load Bowl: HC&C shave bowl (straight walled)
Lather Bowl: HC&C shave bowl (straight walled)
Razor: Blackland Sabre
Base Plate: L1/L2 (no shims)
Handle: Blackland Sabre
Blade: PAL Blue Carbon Steel (D4)
Razor: GEM Heavy Flat-Top
Blade: PAL Blue Carbon Steel (D4)
Razor: Schick 500 Injector Razor
Blade: Chinese Schick (D7+)
Post: Stirling witch hazel, PAA Mysterium Serum
Still trying to get a decent shave with the non-vintage PAL Blue Carbon Steel blade. Tried different razor combinations again. Corked the blade four times mid shave but nothing seems to make this blade work for me. Maybe a bad blade? Maybe these blades don't work for my face and shaving every other day. The Schick 500 saved the shave.
