Tue 2nd July Jayaruh Syn. No67 Faena Sandalwood Schick N3 Schick Twin- Japan [13 ] Jaguar Prestige A/S Lotion I normally enjoy shaving with the N3 with a Twin Blade. However today despite the excellent lather from the Faena it did not go well, as it was obvious that the blade had run its course. I am obviously not one of those lucky ones who get 20+ outings with the Twin Blade, so it is a bit of a treat using them as they are quite pricey.

Williams Wednesday's ShaveCold Water Rinse Williams Mug Shave Soap Jayaruh #371 Badger/Boar Valet VB2 Valet AutoStrop (18) CWR Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #371 Badger/Boar brush. I did two passes with the Valet VB2 razor with a Valet AutoStrop SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Ahhhh, I'm sorry to hear that....I just loaded my first Twin blade in my new L1 (shave to be posted soon), and as I'm quite cheap, I had convinced myself that I will get a minimum of 20 shaves. I've still got hope, but I usually get less from a blade than most people, so I'm not optimistic. That said, it's nice to know that I'll be in good company with my pricey blades.

July 3rd -- first use of a recently acquired Schick Type L1 with a Japanese twin blade. It was a good shave....milder than I was expecting. I think I had built up the shave in my head to be like the twin blade unmentionable I had learned on in my youth; and while it was a good shave (very close and comfortable), it just didn't wow me like I thought it would. Some things that made it feel a little off were a longer than I've been using handle, and a steeper angle required than I typically need for older Schicks. But hey, it was a first shave with a new razor and blade, and the results were better than I'm sure I got as a youngster, so I'm not sure why I'm even grousing.
