    It's quite nice indeed, as we both know. I hope the reviews for it on Doc Ezlovan's website are increasing.

    Jamie, Love the orange colors - especially the brush. How's Planet 9? As a DC fan are you going to Justice League?

    Sunday morning:

    C. W. Beggs Facial Wash*
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Astra day 7
    Stirling Frozen Tundra RS
    Gold Bond Moisturizer
    Osage Rub AS Splash

    A really cold shave on tap for me!

    *This C. W. Beggs facial wash is brand-new to me. My brother-in-law bought two and gave me one and I tried it already. It's completely unscented and does a great job of cleaning the face. It also has a very nice menthol effect!

    SOTD 11/18/2017 - ANOTHER GRAND PACIFIC SHAVE
    RAZOR: Pacific Quality Stainless DE Razor (Handle) - known elsewhere as the $1 Dollar Tree Razor
    BLADE: Pacific Double Edge blade - 8th shave with this razor & blade
    PREP: hot water face wash with Ivory Soap and rinse
    BRUSH: No- applied by hand
    PRESHAVE: None
    SHAVE CREAM: Barbasol Pacific Rush - what a great scent this has!
    POST SHAVE: Hot water rinse.
    AFTERSHAVE: Aqua Velva Ice Blue (not pictured)
    BALM: Maison the Collection - Moroccan Mint Tea Lotion
    PACIFIC_DE_BARBASOL_MAISON.jpg
    This was the 8th shave with this razor and blade combo. I will dispose of this blade after today's shave, and put this razor away for awhile.
    I had this razor in my rotation for just over 1 month. I got 8 nice shaves from it during that time.

    I have NO COMPLAINTS with this razor OR the blades it comes with. Probably not as smooth as a your favorite blade - but certainly very nice.
    The TTO seemed to require a little more force than expected to loosen and open the butterfly top. I thoroughly cleaned the razor with a toothbrush.
    This removed all of the soap scum, and returned it to its original bright, shiny condition. I put a drop of light oil on the TTO shaft & handle knob.

    RESULT
    I got as very nice 3-pass shave - BBS with touchups. I like this razor a lot. Not my favorite, but much more control and certainly more fun than a cartridge.
    I could tell the blade was well used, and though not extremely smooth, provided a close shave without tugging or pulling.
    The Barbasol is also very good. I really enjoy it more when I apply it by hand. The scent is very good - one of the strengths of this product.
    Another nice, refreshing shave.

    Hope your weekend is a good one!

    Prep - Hot towel
    Pre shave - Prep
    Razor – ‘The Rock’ ( 3 )
    Blade – Personna Platinum
    Brush - 'The Archduke' (Brad Sears Archduke 26/50 2-Band Manchurian)
    Soap – Grooming Dept: Aether
    Post - Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / L'Occitane Cade After Shave Balm

    even though the Personna blade did the job, I don't think it'll be one of my 'goto' blades.. Aether whipped up lovely with 'The Archduke', and did its job wonderfully.. which makes me one happy shaver..

    Gillette Bostonian (Canada) Razor

    @Vlasta Sample E Shave Cream

    Experienced a bit of irritation today, but nothing to worry about. Still, two passes with some touch up for a BBS shave.
