    Thursday
    Prep: Warm Shower-Stirling Bath Soap-Scots Pine Sheep
    Soap: Stirling Agar
    Razor: Gillette Black Handle Flare Tip Super Speed
    Blade: ASCO Red Box (Shave #4)
    Brush: Elite Razor/TGN Grade Sivlertip-24mmx50mm
    Aftershave: Stirling Gentleman w/Menthol

    WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)

    Stirling Agar today. 20 seconds to load the Elite Razor/TGN Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. ASCO Red Box still in the Black Handle Super Speed. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with Stirling Gentleman w/Menthol aftershave.

    RyX DoH!

    +1! It's a well built blade holder. I'm holding at setting 4-1/2 as I improve my technique. Getting better reductions each time I use it.

    For folks that like adjustable DE's I think it's worth the investment. Three blades I've used; Personna Lab Blue, Gillette Nacet, and currently Astra SP. By the end of this month I suspect as long as it isn't defective I'll get great service from most any blade.

    Experimental Shave:
    Razor - Edwin Jagger "Kelvin"
    Blade - Astra Superior Platinum
    Crash Test Shave Brush - Vigshaving 26mm Nylon Synthetic
    Soap - Catie's Bubbles "Florentine Fern" *Luxury Cream Formula
    Aftershave - The Shave Den Witch Hazel (& Cooling Menthol) "Unscented"
    Deodorant - Herban Coybow "Unscented"
    Fragrance - Clive Christian "1872"

    I had a great shave. I think I will find a way to incorporate this soap and fragrance into my green shave set. I might buy the Florentine Fern Aftershave as it blends very well with the 1872 scent without clashing or changing it.

    Blended razor (EJ DE87/Scotch&Stowe)
    Astra SP blade
    WD Synthetic brush
    TBS Maca Root SC
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    Colorado Sage cologne

    I used to call the "Blended razor" a frankenrazor but there has been some discussion what a frankenrazor really is. So Blended it is. And it works well for me, got a smooth, comfortable, close shave today. My face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks

    Modified Barbershop Boar Brush (restored)
    Love My Skin Barber Shop 1920's Soap
    Dickinson's Witch Hazel
    Lucky Tiger Aspen After Shave

    The quality of the shave wasn't as important as working on my technique. Managed to get a decent DFS with two passes WTG for the first, and WTG/XTG for the second.
