C.O.Bigelow / Omega 248 / OS GrandTurk
Gillette 195 & Feather Hi-Stainless
Alum block / Canoe AS / Canoe EDT

Skipped the Shave Secret PS oil and didn't notice the difference. Light menthol of the cream surprises me as I don't use it often. Stepped away from my Focus on Straights to enjoy as close to BBS as I ever get. Not Dolphin smooth, but DFS++! Only nicked myself once on the edge of my chin. That was the FatBoy paying me back for ignoring it for a few days. Enjoying the Clubman like barber shop scent of Canoe. Hope ya'll had an acceptable shave, too.

 

Superb setup sir!

Feather Super Pro (2)
Kent BK4 silvertip badger
Route 66 Lumberjack
Thayer's Lavender witch hazel, unrefined shea butter, and CC Bay Rum

My shaves this week have been two passes, and I focused on near BBS results with no weepers. I changed the blade after seven days, but I could have used it a few more times judging by its performance. The cream of choice this week has been XPEC unscented, but I reached for the Route 66 today. I also went for three passes and touch ups. I finished with CC Bay Rum all this week - fantastic.

I'm sorry to be so sporadic with my daily posts recently, although I have tried to keep up with the conversation. I've been inconsistent with my daily Bible study over the last few months, and I have re-committed some time for this each day. Unfortunately, that means less time for TSD. I hope you all have a fantastic Saturday. My beautiful Bride and I have tickets to see Cabaret today.

 

I'm glad you got it figured out. I'm a huge injector fan. I just rinse mine and let them dry.

Had a decent shave today. Everywhere was smooth and irritation free except for around my mouth where I am currently having an annoying acne breakout. Happens every time the seasons change drastically

 

Glad you are liking the Evahs. Have you tried it yet with a shorter or different handle to see if a difference in the shave?

 

Thanks Robert!

 

I haven't, this is only my second shave with it but I really like the extra length on the handle. It helps for atg under the nose and atg on the neck and face. Funny cause I typically don't like long handles.

Still very busy. This is my projected shave sometime today. Probably won't be until later to night. It is sunny here today and I saw a Robin a few days ago. All good signs.
To bad that KnockOut Shave is going out of business.
