OCtober 2016 - Discuss Open Comb Razors

Thanks Mark, you too!

 

Stunning. Your photography skills are over the top. Your photos were always very good but they are over the top now.

 

Gillette New Standard + Polsilver blade = 2 pass BBS shave. The razor seemed very mild today. This soap is something else, super easy lather, very slick and protective. Be well everyone!

 

Razor: Gillette OC
Blade: Personna Platinum (5)
Brush: El Druida Red Heart Chakte Kok/African Blackwood 2 Band Badger.

Another near BBS with these products. I've been really enjoying this focus and discussion.


I have to hit the road for a few days. I'll be back Sunday. Here is my travel kit.

 

Top notch travel kit my friend! The best part about your photos is the woods. Just looks so nice and cool compared to Florida. Have yourself a great trip!

Reef Point Dragon's Blood soap continues to impress me. I have found it very easy to lather with exceptional slickness. Sticking with a traditional 3 pass shave ended in a near BBS which is more than good enough for a Friday morning. I finished off with a splash of Fine Platinum. I hope everyone has a great Friday.

Satin Tip The Purest
Crown King Scuttle
Stirling Executive Man
Tangerine AS and Nivea Sensitive ASB

Good morning friends! Last night I got to use my new Crown King scuttle for the fist time. I started by filling it and the bowl with hot water and let my brush sit in it while I got my setup ready. Once I was ready I loaded the brush for 10 seconds with the Stirling Executive Man and began to build my lather. The lather quick became foamy and it was thin with large bubbles. I though that I didn't have enough soap so I went back and loaded some more and begin to work the lather again. This didn't help at all. I put the lather on my face and the bubbles quickly dissipated leaving a very thick dry lather. I worked some more water into the lather on my face and it quickly became the thick yogurty lather that I love. I finished the first pass and then knowing that the foamy lather left in the scuttle was too dry I added some more water and began to work it some more. With the additional water the large bubbles quickly died down and the lather thickened up nicely. After about 30 seconds I had a great lather that was shiny, and yogurty, and smooth! I painted that lather on my face and ahhhh, warm lather. It felt so good! It was actually a better consistency then the lather I built on my face for the first pass. I finished my last two passes with the luxurious warm lather and ended with a DFS. 3rd day on the Super-Max and its done for, at $0.026 per shave I think they are a decent value. I finished off with my homemade tangerine AS and Nivea Sensitive ASB to make things silky smooth. Have a great day my friends!

 

This puppy has some serious Blade exposure and made a lot of noise. However, it gave me a great shave. I like it.

Razor- Gillette New Deluxe (15 mm)

Today was my second shave with this really nice, really mild razor. I have a New LC, a New SC and a New Standard and this is by far the smoothest, and mildest of the bunch. Yesterday was a 2-pass shave and today was 3 passes. Both ended with a nice close DFS that lasted all day. This is now my favorite New variant.

My check of Mr. Razor shows that this might have originally been part of the Red & Black set.
