    Get well, Adam! I'd be interested in your opinions on the Reserve Classic you got as well.

    Great write up Bruce. Is your Thater a 2 or 3 band?

    Razor: Yaqi Mellon (a.k.a., DOC) razor
    Blade: Dorco Prime Platinum (1)
    Brush: VdH Boar
    Cream: KMF fragrance-free
    Post: Alum, Listerine, WH

    So, I've decided to stay with the Yaqi DOC for a bit more. I was curious to see if changing to the Dorco Prime Platinum would give a bit less blade feel than the Astra SP (which it does). BBS with no issues.

    Thank you. Its a limited run for the month of February. Jasmine and apricot scent, and it smells amazing.

    They sent me two sets of the aftershave samples, so I have two of them. That one is based on Gillette Sun Up, which I have a bottle of the vintage cologne, and PAA's soap and splash for as well. I will let you know when I use it.

    IMG_1002.JPG Great Shave! Bad Pic.

    Wieshi 9306
    Maseto long handle 2 band
    Wilkinson shave soap
    Nacet blade

    I never imagined that I would enjoy a shave with a superspeed style head so much. I think my shavette time has drastically improved my technique because I hated my first superspeed. But this shave was sublime with fine shave + results( could easily have been bbs if I had wanted to buff a little bit).

    The Maseto brush is unparalleled for the cost. I'm interested to try the Yaqi high mtn white in March.
