    Razor: Gillette tech
    Blade: GSB (4)
    Brush; VDH Badger
    Soap: Italian Barber
    Pre shave oil: Homemade (vitamin e added)
    AS: Dove. Men+ care

    Fine 2 pass shave. Italian Soap lathered up as per instructions, full and foamy. The 1st pass WTG, with 1 small weeper (bump), otherwise smooth and without incident. The 2nd pass ATG/XTG, smooth and comfortable, a little lather on neck for clean up and VIOLA! Almost a BBS, just not quite there, but well satisfied. I`ve been using the GSB each day in a different razor. With different out comes with each one. Today was the fourth day and the fourth razor. Today with the tech that i got from one of members was the best match up, by far. Happy camper. Wis all a BBS for Sunday.

    The GEM continues to impress me with the quality shaves and smoothness. I had no idea I would enjoy SE shaving this much. The Micromatic razor feels substantial and provides a smooth and comfortable shave. The angle of attack is easy to find.

    Late start today. If I did not read your SOTD and give you a "Like" today, it is because I did not choose to have to wade through 99 posts since early last night with less than half were SOTD's.
    How about more "Like's" and less "like" posts? I truly enjoy perusing the SOTD's each day, but may have to limit it if this keeps expanding. End of "soap box" diatribe.............

    Sunday

    Prep: Warm Shower-Stirling Bath Soap-Scots Pine Sheep
    Soap: RazoRock Tuscan Oud
    Razor: Gillette Fat Boy
    Blade: Gillette 70’s “Spoiler” Super Stainless (9)
    Brush: Elite Razor Silvertip-24mmx50mm
    Aftershave: RR Tuscan Oud

    WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)

    RR Tuscan Oud today. 20 seconds to load the Elite Silvertip. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Gillette 70’s “Spoiler” still in the Fat Boy. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Tuscan Oud.

    Last shave for this “Spoiler”. Still smooth, but not quite as close (sharp).

    Bob
