    Man, I have been wanting a lather catcher for a while. I just love the style and art of them. Visually they are the cream of the crop for me. And this one really caught my eye.

    Shark blade was more forgiving than the Astra I've been using.

    Tried a new angle or really direction on side pass and it worked great!

    A very quick two pass shave this morning. With minimal touch ups I easily ended with my normal near BBS. The General/Feather Super Pro combo is really growing on me. The shaves are smooth and efficient. I am off to spend the day with my Mom. I have to drive her to a series of Doctor appointments. I hope everyone has a great Thursday.

    Went with a 2 pass SAS today. Went a little too aggressive under my jaw and the alum let me know it.

    Have a good Thursday and happy shaving!

    I was thinking along the lines of Delta Echo, however, I really haven't made up my mind.

    8 June 2017 Blade Focus Shave

    Today's shave was a "What does this smell like" shave. I used the sample of "Reveille" from Regiment Shaving. The first thing that popped into my mind was "forest". The Featherweight/Blue Star duo has started to drop off. I still got a 2.5 pass shave, but I'd call it SAS. Not as smooth as the first two days and definitely not the same as a DE shave at the same point in the week.
    Since I couldn't really figure out what the shave cream smelled like, I brought out the Speick A/S. Another smell I really can't figure out. Anyway, still a great shave and I'm definitely gonna have a great day. Y'all do the same!
