OCtober!!! October 6 Razor - Gillette New LC Delta Echo Raffle Winner Blade - (3) Soap - Soap Commander Courage Brush - 30 DC LE Post - Alum Third shave on the Feather and again a smooth shave. I have to be honest and say I don't notice a great deal of difference between the Feather and Voskhod anymore. I'd like to think it's technique that makes them nearly equal. Both are excellent blades, both sharp, and while the Feather may be a touch sharper I'm getting nothing but smooth shaves with little irritation anymore. Of course, the New LC may help with that as well. The Tuxedo knot in the LE brush is a lather monster. Seems to hold water a bit more than the other two synths I have, but that's not a bad thing. Seriously, fastest lather I've made with Soap Commander. Great slick and cushy lather that really made the shave feel great. Tomorrow we take a short break for a bit of fun. I'm working on a special item even as we speak. Something that came up over at the favorite gear thread. Not sure I can pull it off but I'm trying. I hate to disappoint my fans. Both of you deserve my best efforts!
Well, as the proud owner of not one but two Joris razors you can now be snooty with the best of us, because you very definitely are moving in the world of modern and expensive...
He'll soon be shaving with a glass of champagne and a bowl of caviar at the sink. With gold-encrusted fixtures.

OCtober 7, 2017 Timeless OC 0.95mm with Triad Ti Aristocrat Feather Rudy Vey Rover with TGN Finest CRSW Jeff’s Soap Captain’s Choice Bay Rum I changed out the Wolfman OC for the Timeless OC with a 0.95mm blade gap. The Timeless has much more blade feel requiring a light touch but is more efficient as well. Given this increase in efficiency, I went with a 2 pass shave, XTG followed by ATG. With minimal touchups I ended up with a near perfect shave but decided against chasing the baby. I did end up with 2 weepers proving that the Timeless bites if I fail to do my part. I changed my plan and went with a splash of Captain's Choice Bay Rum with extra menthol which seemed to go better with our cloudy and rainy day. I hope everyone has a great Saturday.
Thank you Doug. I hope you like the soap. I plan on trying some of Cold River Select soaps next year.
