SoS: July 24, 2017 - July 30, 2017

I would agree with your assessment.

 

I have the "limited edition release" of the Confiant set just like you. I love it. I will go with this next week myself.

 

This looks like it's really nice. I wish The Holy Black would do another run of this so that I can try it out. Looks like it was a limited run and it looks like a real winner.

 

Im glad you had a nice shave with your new Barbasol. Dale, is it agressive?

 

Really nice shave this morning, both face and head.
Loaded the Ti Baby Smooth with a Derby premium (black) not a bad blade, I'll use the rest of the tuck before I decide to buy 100.
Since RR redid the P.160 I've fallen in love with this soap.
The Beehive continues to be a winner..

I just noticed this last night on my cellphone, it appears that the FCC and carrier's decided to help ID scammers.

 

Nice setup Kerry! I didn't realize how big the Beehive is.

 

Wonderful shave Andrew. I like the new Stirling boar brush a lot, really classy. Great to see that the baby smooth was smooth, I have both the aluminum and the Ti Baby Smooth, since I've had the Ti I honestly can say I've found the perfect razor for me.

 

Thanks Andrew, I was just commenting on your shave. Yes, the Beehive is pretty good size, 28mm knot. The handle has some weight as well.

 

Thanks Kerry, its a great razor!

 

Hey Friends,

here is my today´s shave:


Razor: Mongoose (B2) / Blade: Feather Pro Guard / Soap: Proraso Sandalwood / Brush: HJM Synthetic / Aftershave: Proraso Sandalwood

Fantastic!!! My best buddy had the soap on loan for a longer time and today i thought of using it again. I have not been disappointed!!! WHAT A SCENT!!! Not a scent that i could use every day, but today...perfect!!! The lather was slick, thick and gave a lot of cushion. The Mongosse had no problems mowing my whiskers down. It was a real treat.

The Aftershave was fantastic too. This scent is pure joy!!!

Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and take care.

Greetings
Thorsten​

 

Honestly, I didn't really notice it being aggressive. It was no worse than the New Improved or LC New that I have been using.

It was a whisker squeegee with the Feather blade in it. My shave wasn't perfect, but I figured I would need a little time to fine tune my technique with a new razor.

 

Nice. I'll look for one. Thanks Dale.

 

I just got this one or I would offer to send it your way for a test drive.

 

My first shave with the B&M Soapmakers of Awesometown, and my last before moving on from the New in my quest to shave with all my RAD acquired razors.

 

Rockwell 6C Razor #4
Feather Hi-Stainless Blade
Ever-Ready #1 Boar Brush (restored)
Klar Shave Soap
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Tabac After Shave

After skipping out on not shaving yesterday, I figured that today was a good time to try out a Feather blade. It turned out to be a good decision as I was rewarded with an excellent and very smooth BBS shave with two passes and a bit of touch up. Is it the sharpest blade I've used, that's up for debate as I would have to get more of them and see how they'll work in some of my favorite razors. But it worked great in the Rockwell.

 

First time I've seen that type of Brut, what's the scent like?

 

I like the Bics, sharp and very smooth.
