Perry @PLAla your son’s shave of the day set up is the best one for February. You can be proud!

I haven’t shaved since Saturday so my appearance here has been hit and miss. I’m planning to shave tomorrow using the CJB pain stick Keith @Keithmax sent me. I’ve been pondering and meditating about it the last few days.



Anticipation, anxiety, fear, and excitement have all been quelled through the power of meditation. I have reached the level of peaceful calm I seek. I will succeed!

I will see you all in March!

Wednesday February 28 - Feb Faves closing



Supply Co. V.2 Single Edge injector on two-dot plate / Personna (5+ ?)
Supply Co. silvertip synthetic brush
The Dry Dock shaving bowl
TSD Bay Rum lanolin soap
Alum and Jeeves Bay Rum splash

For the last shave of February, I stayed with the TSD soap but used the excellent Jeeves splash to match the Bay Rum. The Supply Co. synthetic brush did its usual job of whipping up a great lather in The Dry Dock after I loaded heavily in the tub. Two passes with the Supply Co. SE brought me to a fine DFS. I think I had used this blade a bit too long though: the first pass was very tuggy as though each individual whisker was resisting being cut; second pass felt fine. The solution was easy of course -- I binned the blade after the shave...

For February, I used a variety of favourite razors. I also acquired a splendid wooden lathering bowl from Jason @jtspartan, and nicknamed it The Dry Dock after it proved able to handle my huge Kent BK12 badger brush, also known as The Soap Aircraft Carrier. With a bowl able to handle the brush, I also used the Kent BK12 for a week or more worth of shaves this month. I spent most of the month using three of my four TSD soaps and two matching TSD Milk Aftershaves. All performed excellently while having very pleasant uncomplicated scents. A plus for these soaps is that they come in wide diameter tubs with enough free room above the soap that even my Kent BK12 could load in the tubs without mess.

All in all, it was a month of great shaves with equipment that performed well. As always though, I think the best part of the experience was sharing it with this group. I look forward to March.

Well, maybe I look forward to March... In a weak moment I agreed to join the Beginner Shavette Group here and do shavette for a month and I am already starting to wonder if I need to update the Next of Kin contact on my medical card and maybe update my Will...

Thanks, Dan!

Great shave and report, John!

Decided on a classic Colgate soap and Clubman shave today. Felt great nice month of shaves looking forward to not cutting my face with the Luxor next month. Speaking of next month where's the March focus thread?

You need to find a way to shave with that for Mayhem.

Finished off the month with my GEM Damaskeene, Omega 10049 Boar, Stirling Red Eye aftershave, and the super secret new soap base I am being a guinea pig for. I've used it five consecutive days, which may be a record for me with any soap. It's a fantastic base and I look forward to being able to share it.

Gonna start March off right tomorrow with the Feather pain stick.

No picture tonight due to some technical issues. Let's just say it was another great shave and a near-BBS finish. I'm going one more day to get my 30 in with the OCMM. March thread opens momentarily. A day off from work tomorrow. I can use it.

Thanks for the busiest February on record!! March is ready!!

No shave to finish out February. I did get in more that 14 shaves in the 28 days, so I got that going for me. Mixed it up between vintage and modern, DE & SE, strolled through my soaps and AS, and I think I used each brush at least once.

I've got a Luxor type 1/2 DE blade shavette and a Weck that uses longer blades that may make an appearance next month. No promises. Flibbertigibbet!

So here it is March 1st already and I did my first shave with the Luxor pro for March madness this morning it was not a close shave at all I have a lot of learning to do. I ended up having to go back over it with a DE. Before work lol.

Great photo and wrap up John.

Thanks everyone for the awesome posts in February. I haven't been able to participate as much as I would like, but I had a good month following along. See you on the March thread!

Thanks, Clint. You and the other posters made this a great month for me.
