Yeah, I have always liked the looks of these razors. I don't have one though. Need to remedy that.

I was challenged to hone a razor with my left hand then to shave with it using my right hand. This was the right hand shave portion of the challenge. I just enjoy shaving. Doesn't really matter which hand I use :)

- Brush: Zenith B40 28mm Boar
- Razor: Gillette President Y-2
- Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Stainless (Green) (1)
- Lather: Ariana & Evans - The Undersea - Soap
- Toner: Thayers - Coconut - Toner
- Aftershave: Ariana & Evans - The Undersea - Aftershave
2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I'm continuing to enjoy BBS Novemboar. Almost done with my A&E soaps. I think Undersea is blended very well. It's obviously aquatic but keeps me guessing while I use it.
Yesterday's Gillette President was a restored model that was gold plated, but this one is an unrestored, vintage rhodium version. Even though I rarely pick up my DE razors these days, I enjoy them when I do use them.

- Razor: Gillette President Y-2 (Revamp)
- Blade: Wilkinson Sword Black (10)
- Lather: Ariana & Evans - St. Barts - Soap
- Toner: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner
- Aftershave: E&S Rasage - Azur - Aftershave
2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I keep forgetting to post these, but this was a very nice second luxury shave. This revamped President is plated in gold. For some reason I really like it. The originals (I have one) were done in Rhodium. This model is pretty aggressive as a shaver. I like it a lot. (Obvious, I guess, since I have two of them.)

- Razor: J.A. Henckels 5/8 Hollow Ground Square Point
- Lather: Ariana & Evans - Peach & Cognac - Soap
- Toner: Thayers - Coconut - Toner
- Aftershave: Ariana & Evans - Peach & Cognac - Aftershave

This was a very successful test shave of the Butterscotch Arkansas edge on the carbon steel J.A. Henckels.
How could I say no to that?
Because there are generally consequences to saying no 😉

- Brush: Zenith B15 (506 U/L) 27.5mm Boar
- Razor: Wolfman Razors WR2/WRH2
- Blade: Wilkinson Sword Black (8)
- Lather: Ariana & Evans - SoCal Hipster - Soap
- Toner: Thayers - Coconut - Toner
- Aftershave: Ariana & Evans - SoCal Hipster - Aftershave
2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I haven't used SoCal Hipster in a long time but I thoroughly enjoyed it today. I know that some people have issues with burning on some A&E fragrances, but I have never had issues. I'm fortunate in that regard.
The Wolfman is a work of machining art. This is my month for safety razors. I'm sure I will use this one again.
Hear! Hear! I know what you mean. I have a soap called "Doc Holiday" that is themed on the famous Doc Holliday who was best known as one of the gunfighters at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona.
Like you, I can't unsee this typo.
