GOOD MORNING TSD SOTD 03/18/16

Gillette 195 AKA Fatboy(set on 7)
Topcare Stainless(local store brand)(1)
E-Shave Badger
C.O. Bigelow
Cold Water Rinse,Alum Block
Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue A/S

After using Injector and SE Razors all week for Friday's foray into the fine art of wet shaving I brought out the Fatboy!!
Did my normal three pass shave the Topcare Blades are good for two to three shaves but are very smooth and sharp.
What can I say about the C.O.Bigelow Cream it's C.O. Bigelow!! Finished off with the Aqua Velva for a fine BBS Friday!!

HAVE A GREAT FRIDAY EVERYONE!!

 

Looks like a great start to a day. Have a good Friday yourself. If you think if it wear something, "Red" to support our troops.

 

Thank you! And I will wear something "Red" today!!

Still Unforgiven
I went back to the OCMM today to see if I can master it. I got a very close shave, but also a couple weepers and some irritation. I think I'll try a different method tomorrow - maybe I'll skip the ATG and just do another WTG pass, or maybe just three WTG passes because this razor is very efficient indeed. The lather from WSP Citrus Blast was very thick and easy to make with my Brothers Bristles Bimetal Brush. Pi Neo is a nice compliment to the citrusy soap scent.

Good morning guys. I've been rotating my razors lately and this morning the 1955 SS was up but I missed my R41 too much and went with it instead. Guys as soon as it touched my face I was swiftly reminded of how aggressive this razor is...there is no cap riding with it, concentration is paramount but if you proceed with caution the reward is the closest most beautiful shave there is DE wise. Stirling's Ozark Mountain is so lovely...rub the puck on your face people, it's amazing. Mita is a proper way to finish. Have a great shave and a great Friday friends.

 

Oh, how beautiful...

 

Lovely colors Jim!

 

Great image @clint64. I think if you look closely you can see your reflection in the brush handle.

 

Speaking of colors.

 

Douglas, have a great day.

 

I do like it. Ghost Town Barber and Summer Storm are great too.

 

Thank you Robert!

 

Thank you.

Thank you. I know these shiny handles reflect everything. I try not to end up in the pic but at least I make sure to be fully dressed.
