    Razor: Gillette Guard
    Blade: Single Blade Cartridge (10)
    Pre shave Oil: Homemade
    Brush: VDH Badger
    Lather: Proraso Green
    AS: Aqua Velva/Afta

    That little ('Toy") single blade razor is very surprising, even after 10 shaves, I`m getting almost the same shave as my favorite combination. Even to compare it to the Personna Floating Head/Gillette Twinjector(with Proraso) combination is compliment worth a mint to Gillette. I have never seen anything look so flimsy, yet work so well. A 2 pass shave, WTG/ATG. Some clean up, but nothing out of the norm. Hope all members received as good a shave as I did and God Bless.

    First time with this little razor and I wasn't impressed.
    It's very inefficient and when I hit the tougher 'tache and chin hairs it felt like they were being pulled out rather than sliced.
    I loosened the handle a 1/4 of a turn for the second pass and it was a bit better. It still took a third pass to get a decent DFS.
    Ah well, on to the next one.

    RyX DoH!

    I could see purchasing other scents of Klar. The performance is great, and if I like a scent I want it strong. If Cella is an almond cookie, Klar Mandel is an almond cake smashed into your face.

    This was my shave the other day. If you haven't tried CRSW I highly recommend them, CRSW is quickly becoming my favorite artisan soap maker.

    I really like this Boss razor. It is definitely in the TOP 3 of my DE razors.
    The last shave with it was a good DFS, but lacked the smoothness I have come to expect. I could replace the blade...
    BUT
    in the interest of exploring the boundaries of this shaving hobby, I decided that I would HAND STROP the blade instead.
    I got a great BBS shave with 2+passes. Didn't really need the 3rd pass on the neck & under the chin - but hey
    THIS WAS A SMOOTH SHAVER!
    Granted, my last shave with this razor was limited by the Erasmic shave soap & prep. The lather this shave was excellent.
    I do not pretend that this was a scientific experiment - but I can tell you the shave was wonderfully smooth and close.
    YMMV

    Gotta love the Old Spice Lime, Hows the balance of the Timeless handle with the SE ATT head?
