C V Heljestrand MK31 Chinese synthetic brush Martin de Candre soap Stirling Vetiver After Shave Splash
My SOTD Razor - Sheraton Blade - Gillette platinum plus Brushes - Parker badger / trader joes synthetic Soaps - Simpsons unscented/ proraso green Post - witch hazel , trader joes balm Cologne - lilac Veg Great Shave this morning. I started with the Parker badger and Simpsons but I added too much water and the badger was too floppy. I tried to use a rubber band around the knot to give it more back bone but it didn't work. I pulled out the proraso and the synthetic to finish up my shave.. 4-5 passes later I'm irritation free with a smooooooth shave! Damn happy !!
I just had a most wonderful shave with my F. I had about 2 days of beard and wasn't sure it was the right choice. Hah! The smoothness and efficiency of the F is just fantastic. It had been a bit while since I used it. Glad I did. Dolphin smooth face once again.

Excellent photo Mark. Can the Blackbird take both the Feather DE and SE Blades or did you mean Feather F101?

How do you like the Gillette Sheraton? What level of aggressive would you say? I'd love to have one. Nice shave, razor!
I like the razor a lot! I would say it's a medium aggressive razor, for me at least, others with more experience may think otherwise. The one I have has lost all its plating on the doors. I think if it were to be replated, the glide would increase and so would it's smoothness during the shave.
St. Patties day shave. I'm not Irish and don't claim to be, not even for one day of the year, and I'm not a drunk or need an excuse to drink.... But I do like my shave hobby. (Cup, saucer and doily courtesy of the wife)
I only have the Lilac and I would say that it's a very mild version of The Veg. Nice, unobtrusive, affordable.
SOTD 3/16/16 Dedicated to "The Commanders" (Darren and Carrie) Prep: Hot Shower/ Garnier Face Scrub Pre-Shave: Maggard PSO Soap: Soap Commander Courage Brush: Semogue 1460 Boar Razor/ Blade: Merkur 1906/ Voskhod (1) Astringent: Alum Post-Shave: Soap Commander Courage Balm Aftershave: Stirling MITA Great shave last night. Always get great results from SC. The scent is one of my favorites and it pairs nicely with the Stirling MITA aftershave. No irritation and everything was smooth. Still loving this Semogue 1460 Boar. It works great and never had any problems like I do with the OC. This shave is dedicated to the Commanders. They need to have courage and stay strong through this very difficult time. Thoughts and prayers are with them and Luke.
