1 pass face shave. Nothing new - GTB is still a very solid option with a comfortable scent; The Hawk continues to be nimble and Feather PG suck for my face.

1 pass head and face shave that I did before my late shift today. It's wonderful to have some colleagues who've become my friends, as I realized today. Work can be really easy under such circumstances.
Union is just great for fast and comfortable shaves.

I was curious if my brass 1920s Gillette open comb safety razor had lead in it. @oilyfish suggested just getting some lead test swabs and finding out for myself. So I did. Sadly, its brass does have lead. The exposure is probably pretty low but if you've got a pre WWII Gillette, it's something to keep in mind. #vintage #shaving #razor #SafteyRazor

Relaxed 2 pass face shave. ProGuard still bites a bit, but not as much as the first time. CotN is cool.
Last few days of year one at nursing school. I'm excited how the second year will be... So far, everything is still going strong!

Back to moustache and soul patch since yesterday. Wetshaving is unfortunately on the back burner for me, but this was a solid 1 pass shave. LGC never disappoints.
Some blood spots due to being out of practice.
And just as a side note, I think one of the reasons I enjoy a wet shave is the ritualistic aspect of it. It is not something to be rushed and when done with intention, I really enjoy the process, and it leaves a really nice smooth feel.

So in effort to make my masks fit better, though why it's taken 3 years I'll never know, I decided to whittle my beard back to a Van Dyke. That means picking up a razor after many many years. I think the last time I shaved was for a costume.
I enjoy a wet shave with a safety razor. I have a nice soap and brush that were kept clean and stored away just waiting for me. I have had a run-of-the-mill Merkur razor that seems to do the job ok if i'm careful.
In the last several years, I've seen a variety of new razors come out looking to provide an alternative to the multi-blade disposable razors. One in particular that intrigues me is the Leaf system. It is very pretty and looks pretty good. I've been thinking about the single-blade Twig. The other I saw that intrigues me is the Henson AL13. The change in the blade angle and depth seems to offer a less fiddly shave compared to a regular double-edge.
Anybody have any experience with either? I'm leaning towards the Henson.

I've got this razor that I really like. It's a Gillette open comb safety razor from the 1920s. It's made of brass and I was wondering if anyone knew if commercial brass from the early 20th century had lead in it. I'd hate to poison myself shaving. #question #lead #metal #metallurgy #shaving
