Shave of the Day: Sunday January 6, 2019

Razor: Rex Supply Co. Ambassador

Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock (4th use)

Brush: Turn-N-Shave “Serpent”

Soap: Bluebell Soaps Barbershop

Aftershave: Barbedeux

The 7 O’Clock blades seemed optimal for two to three uses, by today’s shave they lacked cutting power. I dialed the Rex down to 1.5 since this pairing was an unknown to me. The 7 O’Clocks seemed to be a lot smoother than I remember.

Bluebell was a local artisan who produced killer soaps (particularly in the scent department) with this particular Barbershop scent being in line with Fine’s American Blend or Soap Commander’s Honor. Since they are no longer in business I use the soap sparingly and am surprised how well it has held up the last three or so years with very minimal scent loss or drying out of the puck.
