Dove Men Face Wash Speick Shaving Cream Jayaruh #119 synthetic English made Goodwill Voskhod CWR, Asma Alum Block T.N. Dickinson's WH Speick After Shave
Today i used a new long comb bar handle. Wow, i feel like I'm twelve again. Think I used a bit of preasure. Only two weepers. I never really like the bar handle, it looks nice, but there's no knob on the end, and it islighter than it feels like it should weigh. I think I'm going to weight one of mine. It should be pretty easy to take a cap off and fill it with bbs and silicone.

Razor: Timeless Stainless Steel Open Comb w/Timeless Plaid Handle Blade: Gillette Platinum (5) Brush: Shavemac Zebra, Honeycomb 2 Band Soap: Jeeves Soaps Turkish Bath Aftershave: Captain's Choice Sandalwood A very close comfortable shave again. Changed to the Timeless Plaid Design handle today. It's an excellent handle both in length and balance.
I had a great shave with my Wolfman OC today. I decided to mix it up and use my #4 aluminum handle instead of my #2 SS handle. I surprisingly got a closer shave with less touchup using the lighter handle. I'm not sure why, but I just feel more comfortable using razors with a head heavy balance.
October 26, 2016 iKon B1 OC with Hempel Ti Feather (3) Rudy Vey Rover with TGN Finest AOS Sandalwood Witch Hazel Captain’s Choice Sandalwood A good shave this morning. After 3 passes and touch ups, I ended up with the usual near BBS. However, the shave was not as smooth as the previous 2 shaves with this razor. The AOS Sandalwood soap was a gift from my wife and daughters. While it is easy to lather, I find it not as slick as most of my other soaps. Overall I would grade the shave out as an "A-" I finished off the shave with Captain's Choice Sandalwood. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

Today i used the Ikon Shavecraft 101. Its actually only open comb on one side. Is this just gimmicks? Can anyone say if the different sides are a benefit? I use the open for two passes, then the bar for the last. I'm not sure if it matters, just what i gathered was the WAY. Whada Y'all think?

Razor: Timeless Stainless Steel Open Comb w/Timeless Plaid Handle Blade: Gillette Platinum (6) Brush: El Druida Cocobolo w/ Druida Manchurian Soap: Route 66 Perfect Storm Aftershave: Floid Vigoroso The handle in this brush is Cocobolo which is a tropical hardwood of Central American trees belonging to the to the genus Dalbergia . Only the heartwood is used; this is typically orange or reddish-brown in color, often with a figuring of darker irregular traces weaving through the wood. The handle has a nice orange hue to it. The shave was great accompanied with a new brush always helps for me. My traditional 3 passes with minimal clean up.
I need to find a decent stropping handle for mine, I just don't seem to be able to strop it well without one.
