Bay Rum and a late start
A very pleasant shave today, though very late: I kept postponing my Nordic Track effort, so the shave and shower happened at the end of the morning rather than the beginning.
Still, a very fine shave. Bay rum was the theme, as you see. The Omega 643167 did a great job, as usual, and the lather was thick, rich, and fragrant. Three flawless passes with the Mühle bearing a Swedish Gillette blade, a splash of St. John’s Bay Rum, and I was good to go.
Out of interest, how many Swedish Gillettes do you have stockpiled?

Wow. My 60 seems paltry in comparison. I’m still testing to decide which blades to buy in bulk. You’d think after two and a half years of wetshaving I’d have decided by now. I think I am down to the Feathers and Gillette 7 O’Clock SharpEdges though.

I just bought 1100 Astra Superior Platinums from this dealer (scroll down and look at the right side of the page).

That’s a great price for a great blade.

Yeah, hard to beat. And with the ominous signs regarding double-edged blade manufacturing, I thought it was a wise investment.
