Brush: VDH Badger

Oh God, I love wet shaving. What a wonderful experience. A 2 pass, WTG/ATG and clean-up. The flex movement with the twin Gillette blade has to be one of the 7 wonders of the world. One heck of a Happy Camper here wishing for great shaves for all the generous members of TSD. God Bless

Gem Featherweight razor
Gem Stainless blade
VDH/TGN Silver Tip brush
Palmolive Menthol SC
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
M&L Florida Water Cologne w/added menthol

Well, I thought I was being a glutton for punishment since Gem Stainless blades have always been uncomfortable & ineffective for me. I thought "What the heck" and put one in my Featherweight. Never had to good of shaves with the Featherweight before either but this combo worked surprisingly well and was smooth, comfortable and effective. Nice 2 pass w/touchup shave and I'm ready to go. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

Thanks Andrew!

Nice setup. The matching brush and razor are a great set and the razor handle is the same one I originally wanted for my slant but couldn't make it happen and got the fantastic deal on the awesome Sterling Soaps Slant instead.

 

Gart...

 

You could do it

 

Today's shave was very nice This 8/8 near wedge is the heaviest razor I own. It has a very nice edge and just wiped the whiskers off. Im going to like this one.

I was expecting a good lather, but I wasn't expecting THIS! The shave cream is incredible. The lather just kept going and going. Captain's Choice has really got something here.

Be smooth and shave it up, everyone!

That is a good looking handle for the Stahly head. Decent priced for being SS, too. How's the balance VS. a stock Stahly handle?
