Yeah - great budget shave! Good shaving materials, both hardware and software, don't have to be expensive to be good quality.
OCtober 2nd Gillette Old Type w Nacet (1) TGN Finest Fan Barrister's Reserve Cool SS Thayers Booster Polar Ice AS First shave this month, and first time using the OT in several months. Loaded a Nacet, which I didn't have last time I focussed on this razor. Face-lathered a nice lather and had 3 uneventful passes. The OT/Nacet combo produced a smooth shave. Didn't chase the baby, but am more than happy with the results. Finished with the Booster, which I've neglected a bit. Have a great day all!

I'm up for another focus month. As it is OC October I have just two OC razors one being a GEM OCMM and the other a Valet VC2 Autostrop. The Valet will be my razor of choice this month as I have some carbon Feather blades I would like to see if stropping them will prolong the usefulness of the blades. 2 OCtober First shave of OCtober Pre-Shave: Hot Shower Brush: 28mm Faux Finest Badger, Frank Shaving (FS) Soap: C. O. Bigelow Razor: Valet, Autostrop Blade: Carbon Steel(CS), Feather Seikan (1) Post-Shave: Cold Water rinse and Clubman AS, Pinaud Photo: This was the first shave using a CS Feather blade. Set the razor and shave up the night before. I'm glad I did, the blade needed some minor modifications to set properly in the razor. Sorry no pics of the mod. Will try tonight to get some of the mod. I also had to clean off what I guess is a couple spots of wax that is placed on the blade to keep the blade wrapped in the paper. As it is Menthol Monday I went with some C.O. Bigelow and the big 28mm Faux Finest from FS. A three pass shave left me with an okay shave for Monday. That's alright though as the Valet and I will be getting to know one another over the course of the month. Finished the shave off with some Clubman AS and I am ready for the start of the work week.
Wonderful lineup and photo Perry. Great photo and lineup Jason. Lovely brush and photo Brian. Love the brush and razor Mark. Great photo. The Feather FHS stainless blades have the same huge wax dots as well. I use the prior SE blade to remove the glue dots.
Barbasol Brisk and Barbasol Pacific Rush are fantastic aftershaves. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
I have two of these sitting in a box, knowing that I'll never be able to sell them. If anyone want one its yours, its up to you to find the appropriate pathology blade though.
Congrats on nailing the "Epic" Great Photo Clint!, Im glad to see your stunning DE OC's back in action! Nice photo Perry, I will be giving a cream a shot for the first time later this month! Awesome OT, Jason! I love OCtober! Great photo, Brian! Stunning photo, Mark! How did the Carbon feel compared to the stainless blade ?
Great razors, Keith! That first one looks cool (and lethal!). I love the smell of the Barrister's Reserve Spice as well, at least in the AS that I have.
