Oh yeah I did.

 

Anybody wanna change our avatars to Pro Wrestlers? @ob1page has dibs on Flair, I call Macho Man.

Oh, yayuh.....! (grumble voice)

 

That's so awesome! I found that after mastering one razor, all the others became progressively easier to learn. The biggest benefit is likely that you know now what a good shave feels like, and have developed your individual system to get there consistently!

 

Any particular reason to relegate the BK4?

 

This is really good news. I was hoping that when I try another razor it wouldn't be like starting over.

 

Blade angle is an ideal that carries across almost all razor designs. The feeling of correct pressure against the bevel (not the razor, but the blade itself) is almost universal as well. Since you know what this feels like, just make the new razor type "right", simply by adjusting the angle of attack and/or pressure. Learning what good shaves feel is way harder than switching razors.

 

Done!

Whipped Shea Butter

​

After dialing in the water/soap ratio, the MW Orange Vanilla provided excellent slick lather. The dominant scent is that of orange zest with a warm vanilla base. With a fresh Feather blade I went with a XTG and ATG 2 pass shave trying to pay attention to my problem areas as I went. After minor touch ups I ended with a near BBS shave which is the normal for a work day. Finished off with a splash of Fine L'Orange. I hope everyone has a great Monday.

Gillette Birth Quarter Super Speed (Y3)
Wilkinson Sword (3)
Vulfix Super Badger (660)
Chiseled Face Sherlock
Georgetown G12 Scuttle
Pinaud Clubman Original



Last day with my Birth Quarter Super Speed this month. The Wilkinson Sword performed well today. Two passes and touch up captured the baby. Chiseled Face Sherlock continues to please. The lather is thick and slick, and easy to make. The clubman stung, but not excessively. Tomorrow I'll put a fresh Wilkinson Sword in my Gillette New LC.

I hope everyone has a super Monday.

 

Cortez High School, near Metrocenter Mall. (The post office that sorted the package was by there, so I am assuming you are pretty close.)

 

This is why I am on my 15th consecutive focus. It truly helps. This month, I am focusing on limiting myself to two passes and touch ups. Getting some of my best shaves ever.

March focus shave 19
Menthol Monday!

Prep: Warm shower
Blade: Chinese Schick
Razor: Schick G1 injector
Brush: Satin Tip 'The Purest' synthetic
Lather: Proraso Green shave soap
Post: Witch hazel splash, TSD SubZero after shave, Nivea sensitive balm
WTG, touch-up



Nice shave this morning. The cold snap here in temperatures (lows 30s F at the moment) added to the chill of the menthol theme! The cold water shave did too. But overall a nice CCS with one pass and touch-up. This is my third consecutive shave with the G1 injector. It performs really, really well. I like it. I'll probably do a focus with it one these days. I'll go back to my open comb tomorrow.

Feeling nice and cool on this Monday. I hope you all have a great day!

 

I agree 100%.

 

Great photo Perry...love the colors!

 

Thank you sir!

 

I'll send a crew by to pick up the fee to allow your delivery guy to sleep it off. Between your guy and my guys I hope to see at least one bottle arrive full.

 

His delivery guy looks a lot like mine. Must be a professional thing.
