    In terms of aggressiveness (blade feel, not efficiency). My meanest razors are :

    Le Coq OC DE
    Pal Injecto-Matic
    Schick E2
    Schick Type F
    Above The Tie H2

    Gillette SensorExcell (6)
    Alluminati Envy White badger brush
    Horn quaich lather bowl
    Vitos Eucalyptus shaving cream
    Florida Water

    Two passes to a DFS. I think the tub of Vitos Eucalyptus shaving cream has just enough left in it for one more shave.

    Well, FWIW, the Chick *is* a drugstore blade. :)

    Thank you Clint. I've been using DEs for a while so a SE shave was fun, all over again. That MW soap scent - I got my tub from the soap pass around. Small samples of many interesting products, but I chose the MW as a swapped item. Very full flavored and so far I've resisted tasting it.

    Agreed, and at some point the razor may have been sold there, too. I've only got two more full 7 blade packs in my blade stash. Came across an auction lot of seven packs. Haven't used them all by myself. A couple were PIFed to family members with Schick razors.

    Don't know if I'm within the guidlines today but this is what I felt like shaving with and I wasn't left disappointed. 3 of the the 4 items were given to me by 30DC members and I bought the clubman on the cheap. Just wanted to show my appreciation. 15281515194840.jpg

    Great setup, and even better that it was a tribute shave!

    Thanks. Sometimes we all get a bit chatty. Sometimes we are over chatty. Exciting start to a new month does that . Lol

    Doc’s is like Soap Commander Vision with Rosemary (???) in it. Something from the spice drawer anyway. It’s got some depth to it. I probably like the Docs better, my wife the Hanalei. Imaging my little hippy wife liking a patchouli soap.

    Love the E. I only shave with two injectors anymore: the E, and the Supply with the 3 plate. Very different shaves, but very similar blade feel.

    The ATT H2 is a FANTASTIC razor, and only one of two that I have ever sold that I really regret.

    I’m already falling behind in keeping up with the thread. Lots of incredible photos and reports. I always enjoy seeing and reading through, even if I’m sitting on the sidelines , which is most of the time.

    Today’s shave was brought to me by the colors blue and butterscotch. And the number Eleven.

    Razor: Gillette 195 (Fatboy)
    Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
    Brush: Stirling Best Badger, fan knot
    Soap: Eleven Shaving Blue Spruce
    Aftershave: Eleven Shaving Blue Spruce
    Post Balm: Eleven Shaving Blue Spruce


    No focus. No rule. Just a great shave.
