    A break from the SEs. Krona/Feather makes for a very easy BBS on the beard, head shave requires a bit of buffing but result is all good.

    Prep: Warm Shower-Stirling Bath Soap-Scots Pine Sheep
    Soap: Route 66 Sweeney Todd
    Razor: Gillette Slim
    Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Green Super Stainless (1)
    Brush: Elite Razor Manchurian White-24mmx50mm

    Route 66 Sweeney Todd today. 20 seconds to load the Elite Manchurian White. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I loaded a new Gillette 7 O’Clock Green SS in the Slim. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with Bulgari Man in Black EdT.

    Follow-up....seems to be comfortable enough. But I'm coming down with a cold, so I need all the warmth I can get.

    I don't normally shave every day but I need to look more polished tonight so I took my JR Torrey to the one day of growth. A nice shave overall. Surprising how one day of stubble makes a razor smoother. :) Hat tip to @DaltonGang for the Christmas Ho Ho Hone he did on this one.

    Hot water preparation
    AOS Lavender PSO
    Haslinger Schafmilch
    Savile Row 3824 Silvertip
    J.R. Torrey 5/8
    Osma Bloc d'Alun
    AOS Lavender After Shave Balm

    Happy shaving everyone - Karl

    jimjo1031 never bloomed myself

    Gillette Ball Handle Long Comb
    Personna Lab Blue
    Royal London Boar Brush
    Love My Skin Beau Brummel Cybilla Soap
    Dickinson's Witch Hazel
    Pinaud Virgin Island Bay Rum After Shave

    First time using this razor, and I'm not sure why, but I did have a couple minor weepers and a bit of irritation. My only thought is it might be because my other New Combs have fatter handles on them and I just didn't get it right. Also, this could be the last time I use this brush as it becomes so slippery when wet, I just don't want to drop it because it is ceramic. But other than what I mentioned, I still achieved a two pass, with touch up, BBS shave.

    That I do :). I think there should be a push by major drugstores to have Special Reserve available(many already have the Original).

    Probably not in the brick & mortar. Online I would guess.

    Yes-it would have to be. My SR came as a PIF, so I'm spoiled on that, for now.

    Prep - Noxzema / Hot towel
    Pre shave - Proraso
    Razor – ‘The Rock’ (Rockwell 6S – #3)
    Blade – Permasharp.
    Brush - 'The Duke' (Duke 3 Best)
    Soap – Barrister & Mann – Hallows
    Post - Cold water rinse, Tallow + Steel – Dark Aftershave

    just finished an 18 hour shift, so I was allowed the night off to compensate... made the most of it with a 'full' mid week shave... still not what I'd call a stellar shave with the Hallows, but decent enough...

    Another awesome shave this morning and let me say this Lea Classic cream's great. The scent is so nice, I love the lather, and the cooling effect is good. That Black Powder is a wonderful aftershave!
