    Good morning friends! Absolute stellar shave this morning compliments of the incredibly slick and creamy Tabac lather and the oh so smooth Hydro-Magic. Three passes to lure the baby home and my face feels amazing. Have a wonderful day my friends!

    Fantastic picture Mark. We need a CH2 Synthetic LE for our second Tres Amigos brush.

    The trick will be getting 3 brushes. We may need to contact Mark at Simpson.

    Amazing how time and experience changes things. Today's shave was a celebration of SEptember with my grandpa Val's curved top 1912. It was the razor that started me down this rabbit hole. When I first started using it I found it difficult and wound up with a red face from razor burn for about three days. I stuck with it and it got better with practice - and then I got hooked into countless injectors, other SEs, lather catchers with wedge blades, and now straights. Whew. Returning to it now was like a dream. Super smooth, great reduction, that familiar burnt toast scraping, and a quick clean shave that's nothing but face-rubbing pleasure. :happy036:

    Here's to you, Val! :eatdrink047:

    Tonights shave. One cut under the nose. My alum block SCREAMED at me. Other than that a decent shave.

    A wonderful shave this morning. I enjoy the Fine soaps in shave stick form since they are very easy to lather and perform very well. Three passes and minimal touch ups ending in a near BBS which is more than good enough on a work morning. Finished off with a splash of the matching Fine L'Orange Noir and I am ready for the day. I hope everyone has a great Thursday.

    That's a nice reflection Karl! Your experience sounds familiar to me, but unfortunately I do not have either of my grandfathers razors. I don't even have my father's razors. Ah, at least the memories are still alive and well!

    Razor: Schick L1 injector
    Brush: Satin Tip 'The Purest' synthetic
    Lather: Country Club for Men Cahaba Blues
    Post: Witch hazel splash enhanced with Country Club Sweet Water, Nivea sensitive balm
    WTG, touch-up

    Nice shave again with the Schick L1 injector (new to me). I really like it and find it easy to use, mild but quite efficient. I'm happy to add it to my SE arsenal.

    Have a great day!
