Did you know it is just 11 months until Christmas Ewe?
Just having a bit of light-hearted fun with some AI tools.
A wonderous Wednesday shave.

Enjoy the moment
Keep experimenting
Your mileage may vary
Find what works for you
Find what don’t work for you
Try a new soap, blade, brush, or razor
Make many mistakes, and learn from them
High end and bargain bin can be just as good
New razors can be great – so can vintage ones
Embrace your Acquisition Disorders – within reason
Try your very first soap, blade, brush, and razor again
A shave can be a moment of Zen and a mental recharge
Shaving is most enjoyable when it is about the process, not the goal
A “back to the roots” kind of shave – today’s setup is pretty close to the first kit I bought.
Except for the blade, the prep, and about thirteen years experience with traditional wetshaving, that is.
Friday, already?

Come to think of it… does anyone have a user grade Type C they want to sell me?
Another fine midweek shave.
“The best shave you ever had seems poor beside a Schick shave…”
Big words, but now that I own one, I can testify that the Schick Type B – as is shown in this 1929 advertisement, makes for a damn good shave.
And while I can get two weeks worth of shaves with a modern blade, Schick didn’t go overboard and overpromise on the 1929 blades – instead promising a mere four to ten shaves per blade. But with 20 blades in each clip, that was still a lot of shaves for just 75 cents.
New week, new shave, and an experiment of sorts. I’ve done things like that before, but…
Razor: Gillette “Big Fellow”
Blade: Treet Platinum
Brush: Vie-Long #12705B
Pre-Shave: Proraso Pre Shave Cream
Lather: Dr Bronner’s 18-in-1 Pure Castile Soap (Tea Tree)
Aftershave: Barber No3 Marmara
Additional Care:
Alum Block
And the key take-away? Well… don’t get rid of your shaving soaps yet. Better than plain water, less good than olive oil.
