March Madness & Spring Cleaning!!

March 9

Razor - Feather SS
Blade - (3)
Soap - Stirling Barbershop
Brush - Semogue 620
Post - Alum, Nivea

The Feather SS is up again and I just transferred the blade from the Greager. It's instantly obvious from a look down the blade that the Feather is holding it straight and firm. Should be no issue here. Stirling barbershop and the Semogue for tons of lather and the first pass was quite nice and uneventful. I find that I don't have to think about how to work the blade with this razor like the Greager requires. Just the usual motions and grip changes and it's all good for a nice first pass. Second pass was equally good if a bit tricky just because of a couple of attempts to go ATG where I normally don't. No damage and the result, after a touch up or two, was DFS. Can't complain at all.

I'm not having an issue with the lip on the razor but I've used it enough to know the angle to accomodate it. Still not willing to say it really makes a difference in reducing cuts but I won't know that until I can compare to a DX head, which the Kai Captain uses. I'll have that in my hands in a couple of days to do some comparing.

Had some rain and thunder today and the bitter cold rolls back in tomorrow. Yep, it's March in the Lou! Never a dull moment with what the weather has in store! Hope you have a good Friday!

Great set up Douglas. I've always been a fan of the CC aftershaves but haven't tried their soap. Your picture reminded me that I'm almost out of Captains Choice products and need to reorder.

 

That looks like a fantastic line up Guy. Does the soap smell as good as the aftershave?
