June 16, 2023 – The Great Spice Off – Mystic Water Windjammer 2

  • Brush: PAA Synthetic
  • Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable
  • Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (1)
  • Preshave: Baxter Shave Tonic
  • Lather: Mystic Water – Windjammer
  • Post Shave: Old Spice -1980s

Windjammer lathered up something fantastic today and went on my face so soft and then… nothing. I I think I needed more water or something because the slickness wasn’t there at all. My first shave I wouldn’t say it was standout but it was there, but maybe that was the milder, smoother razor I was using. Going to do a ton of water for the thrid shave with a really aggressive razor or else I think I’ll be a bloody mess.

I hadn’t used the Slim Adjustable in a while and every time I take it out I remember that Gillette kind of nailed it all those years ago. I’d like a little more weight on it but it’s just a great, easy shaver that can go to whatever level you’re feeling.

I’ve been exploring my DEs again lately. I really like the extra weight on the Slim over the Tech. I feel it actually helps with the shaving. So far I’m 2/3 on great shaves with the Slim, looking forward to using it more when I get home.

I know. I know. I bought it well before I knew their issues and don't buy from them anymore, but every so often I bust the brush out.

I bought a scuttle back when I didn't know.
