    Ice water shave (and no mirror for full disclosure). Fresh BIC in the Gibbs Adjustable. Very smooth and efficient on 4 setting, Very impressive. Head shave was a bit more of a challenge, near BBS in two passes, but not quite up there with the best combinations, I may have to play with the settings (I hate adjustables). Punching out the side notches was more difficult with the BIC than the Permasharp, and not as clean. I doubt that impacted the shave.[​IMG]

    Williams Wednesday's Shave

    Proraso Pre Shave
    Williams Mug Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #144
    Schick 66 G
    Personna Stainless
    CWR
    Thayer's Peach WH
    Barbasol AS

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Williams Mug Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #144 finest badger brush. I did the two passes with the Schick 66 G and Personna Stainless blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Peach WH and then Barbasol AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Today I did both a face shave and a head shave and I had about 7 days growth on both. This is the first time I've shared a daily shave so forgive any blatant errors.

    Pre-shave - hot shower
    CO Bigelow Shave Cream - First time used
    Razorock Synthetic brush - sorry I don't know the model number or knot size (I'm new here)
    Schick E3 loaded with a new Schick blade made in China
    TN Dickinson Witch Hazel - sorry I forgot to include in picture (I'm new here)

    Tonight's shave was with a freshly acquired and honed razor. I had a very smooth 2 pass shave, that left me with a DFS. This is a very very sharp, Big blade, almost too sharp. It is also a smiling blade, which these combinations allowed me to get a small nick.

    Razor- Wade and Butcher. Sheffield.
    Soap- LNHC Tobacco and Bay
    Brush- Semogue 1800 Boar
    Aftershave- Pinaud Clubman

    RAZOR: Sabi 3-piece - chrome (3 inch handle, medium weight)- a mildly aggressive razor for me.
    BLADE: PACE DE (5 pack) - made in Vietnam
    PRE SHAVE: Some residual Williams Mug Soap left clinging inside the bowl - filled with hot water and soaked brush - used bloom water on face.
    SHAVE CREAM: C. O. Bigelow- Small tube. I like this one. Back when I used creams, this was the main one for me. Love the eucalyptis.
    BRUSH: Van Der Hagen SUPER BOAR (with hole in the middle) - this brush is a super lather maker. I can't explain it. It just works GREAT!
    POST SHAVE: Clubman Styptic Pencil - sometimes I use this just like an alum stick, applying to my entire face. Feels good.
    AFTER SHAVE: Flag and Sail Brisk- this Skin Bracer clone has more menthol punch and a masculine scent - less sweet than SB to my nose.
    BALM: Maison the Collection - Moroccan Mint Tea Lotion
    SabiDE_COBigelow.jpg
    Excellent 3-Pass shave with touchups. No knicks, cuts, or abrasions. NICE MENTHOL FINISH.
    I am really enjoying my DE razors again.
