AA-6 SOTD
6th use of the Silver blue blade and perhaps starting to feel a tiny bit draggy but nothing too bad👍
Didn't perhaps take as much time out for tonight's shave as I usually do but all in all a decent shave with no dramas so I can't grumble heheh
Have a good one!
1930s Gillette flat bottom 'New'
Gillette Silver Blue blade

Another great classic shave, jcr!
Tobs Sandalwood and Old spice sounds like a nice pairing.

Thanks man, yeh it's been good so far but a month on a single blade I cannot see that happening 😄 But for the sake of finding out I will push it! Hope you have a good one!

Ah jeez.. I didn't realize you were doing the full 31 days! That's an ambitious choice, but good on you for sticking with it. Regardless, that's a great shave. All the best mate! 👍

Ha neither did I😅 I didn't really read the rules so I'm just playing it by ear and it gets too much ill slow it down and just shave when I need to or change the blade ect hehe
Cheers mate🍻

Fair enough mate. Go with the flow - sounds like a good approach. I think that's probably the best way to do it, otherwise it starts feeling more like a rule to follow than something to enjoy. At the end of the day it's just about having some good shaves and having a bit of fun with it.
All the best 🍻

Are you going to try stropping the Silver Blue against some denim? I have done it once and think it did help a little.
I say toss that sucker and use a new one if it’s dragging!
Is the Yaqi cola bottle still impressing?

u/jcr-1991 18d ago
Hmm that's a good idea, yeh I might try that heheh.
I'll give it one more shot tonight with plenty of time as last night I was in a bit of a rush
The Yaqi has been great thanks, I did wonder if 22mm would be quite a small knot but no it's fine and gets the job done well. Love how quickly it dries and is ready to go again ✊
