Just joined the Single Digit Club

Last year was my first year back after an 8 year absence as a 12 hdcp. I started my quest as a 16.4 hdcp in February 2025.

At 65 years old I bought Srixon ZXi5 graphite irons 7-gap wedge. I then added a driver, 5W, 7W,9W, 6Hyb, 54 and 60 degree wedges.

Lots of tips from strangers who have become friends and being fortunate to play 2-3 times a week. To reach this milestone is an honor and joy as I feel blessed!

Tuesday

Always good to enjoy a brush lathered shave!

Went on a road trip for four days and forgot my brush. Had to just use the shave cream in my hands but no real lather.

Early Morning Shave

Proraso and Clubman seemed like a great way to start this Monday morning! My 1976 Gillette razor and Omega brush were both good choices.

Happy Monday and have a great week to all👍🏾

Father’s Day

Thought I would break out the good stuff (at least for me). Had an excellent 3 pass shave with the 1976 Gillette butterfly razor. No nicks just a smooth result!

Hope you all enjoy your shaves on this special day👍🏾

Gillette King C

Circled back to the Gillette King C and ended up with a very pleasant close shave. Hope you all had good shaves as well!

Rockwell 6S for the SOTD Win!

I truly appreciate the weight of this razor and the 6S never disappoints.

Hope you all had satisfying Wednesday shave!

Totally Impressed

Just out of curiosity I decided not to shave for a week to see how a DE razor would handle a thick growth.

I was totally impressed with my 1976 Gillette Super Adjustable 109 razor. This black beauty didn’t skip a beat! Nice clean shave (not exactly BBS but close).

I missed my daily shaves😎!!

Rockwell 6S Plate 6

Went all in with the Rockwell 6S and a Darby blade that was on shave #3. All went well with zero nicks…

The alum block and Thayers proved the razor and blade did there job. A little chunk of Arko worked well in a bowl.

So all in all it was an excellent Sunday SOTD! Wishing you all the very best shaves…

Great shave!

Just had a great shave on plate 5 of the Rockwell 6S razor. Only needed two passes to take down three days of growth…

For me Proraso never disappoints!

Have you ever forgot to tighten your razor?

After shaving I always loosen the head on my razor and rinse it well. Tonight I initially foot tighten the head.

Something didn’t feel right and the audible sound of the blade on my whiskers was amplified. I finally figured it out but what an amazing shave.

Good thing I was taking it slow…
