Another great smooth shave this morning. Three passes and minimal touch ups provided a nearly perfect shave with the exception of that one spot on my neck. I finished off the shave with a splash of Floid Blue. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

A great shave this morning. The CH2 Synthetic whipped the Rum Runner into a rich slick lather. The scent of the soap reminds me of a rum cocktail. I just went with normal 3 pass routine, WTG, XTG and ATG, paying attention to my trouble spots as I went. I was so close to a BBS and having the time, I decided to run the baby down. A few touch ups later, particularly on my neck and I ended with a BBS. Overall a very smooth and irritation free shave. I hope everyone has a great Thursday.

 

Thank you Clint64! Happy Turkey Day upcoming, my friend!

 

Thank you Alan. I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving as well.

 

Wow, awesome razor.

I was up early in order to get the turkey started in the Big Green Egg. With the bird smoking away, I had a nice relaxing shave. The CH2 Synthetic whipped up the Route 66 Twisted Tweed into a wonderful slick lather. A nice easy three pass shave with minimal touch ups ended just short of near perfect BBS. Guests will be arriving around lunch so I am back to my cooking duties. To those that celebrate I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day with family and friends and to everyone I hope you have a great Thursday.

 

I have been using a Fatip OC with a Rapira Platinum Lux blade all week.

A very nice relaxing shave this morning. The Twisted Tweed provided a great rich slick lather. I enjoy the scent and find it dissipates about the time the shave is complete which I find nice. Sticking with my normal 3 pass shave with minimal touch ups ended in a near perfect BBS. Using this razor consistently for the month has really helped me us it to its full potential. I finished off the shave with a splash of Floid Blue and now I am ready for a relaxing day of college football. I hope everyone has a great Saturday.

The Rum Runner was very easy to whip into a rich slick protective lather. I paid attention to my trouble spots as I progressed through my normal 3 pass routine. I was rewarded with a near BBS result which is more than good enough for a relaxing morning. I hope everyone has a great Sunday.

 

I took a chunk out of my cheek on Thursday with a straight razor, so I didn't shave until today to let it heal up good before dragging another sharp edge over the area. One pass and touchups with the bulldog took down three days growth with ease.

 

Thank you sir!

A great shave this morning certainly eased the transition back to reality after a long holiday weekend. Three passes and minimal touch ups ended in a near BBS. I finished off the shave with a splash of Floid Blue. I hope everyone has a great Monday.

Another very good 3 pass near BBS shave this morning. I will note that as I get deeper into the puck of Rum Runner the scent is rounding out and the sandalwood and birch wood scents are moving more to the foreground. I am enjoying the soap even more as a result. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

 

Proud owner of a Gillette NEW SC circa 1932-1940. Shaves like a champ. Next up in my rotation. Will post pics.

 

Welcome to TSD. Congrats. Gillette New SC & LC are fantastic razors and very well regarded.
