Did someone say feathers?

Another great B&W photo Perry. You are really working on the Jeeves Bay Rum soap.

Thank you Perry.

 

I only use Feather blades in all my DE razors and find them to be smooth and sharp.

 

I hear you. You have quite the stash of Feather blades. I usually order a 100 at a time and reorder when I get down to 10-20 blades left

 

Yeah, I went a little overboard, but anything worth doing is worth over doing.

Did anyone suggest Fine for February??

 

I am living example of going overboard. I just have a mixture of razors with different blade requirements. I have enough blades to last for years.

 

Thank you, Clint! I plan to keep working on it as it’s a good candidate to finish off at this point.

 

Jeeves BR is next up for me(Artisanally speaking, that is!)

 

I really enjoyed the soap.

 

Classic Barbershop today with GTB and Clubman.

For a change I face lathered with the Chubby today. Three passes to a BBS with no irritation. A drama free shave.

 

How do you like LLC ? Whats the predominant scent in the mixture ?

Fabulous setup, Rick! The Bunny is one razor that I would dearly love to become a permanent resident in my den!

I shaved with my Schick Adjustable on setting you yesterday and the result was nearly identical. Though it didn't feel that aggressive the results were quite impressive!

I am a big fan of the Nacet!

Blackland isn't getting much attention lately, but their razors are gorgeous!

Stunning photo, Clint!

Excellent B&W Perry! So now that you've had some time to get acquainted with the B1, whats your take on it ?

 

If the old Checkerdome National Anthem wasn't so great, I'd get you for that!!! (It was, so I won't).

 

The strongest scent is definitely Cedar but the lime and Lavender balance it out so it's a great day to day choice. Added bonus it's one of the wife's favorites.

Thanks, Andrew! I enjoy it very much. It's really different than the other injectors I have, letters G and up. The angle is really different but there's also a smoothness that's hard to describe. It just seems to remove the lather so easily. There's a good bit of cushion feel from the razor itself. That may sound strange, but it's a comfortable razor that provides great results.

 

I might try that combo sometime . (After all, there's more CFGTB soap than the A.S. of same name).

 

Fantastic setup Mark! Simpson's really knocked it out of the park with the blue sapphire!

I find it challenging to face lather with the Chubby because its so dense.
