    My next purchases are going to be a Razorock Plissoft and an iKon Bulldog handle to replace the aluminium handle on my Made in England tech... It's such a great shaver, but it's just too light for me!

    Ohhhhh, ok. I've been to Orem, St. George, and Kanab. Course Salt Lake City, too, but just to" tour the airport there lol"(that is, fly in and out). .

    I think that my Gillette Tech is more likely to be my 'forever' razor... If there is such a thing!

    I'm still working on getting my passes right... I experimented recently with switching the order of passes on my neck - this just served to give me rash!
    I am contemplating using the J-hooking technique as part of my second pass when shaving my jaw line - it's a real beggar to get it smooth! I, much like yourself, seem to end up with quite a bit of irritation if I go past 2 passes!

    Great lather using the Omega Pro 98. Chick blade and setting number six gave three efficient error free passes. I'm really enjoying the luxury of a start & finish using matching scented products. Jeeves is one of the better kitchen made artisan products. Apple Pie :)
    Good Shaves Y'all!

    August 8th
    Razor: Timeless .95 SC
    Blade: Wilkinson Sword (2)
    Brush: Maseto Finest 2 band
    Pre-shave: Stirling Mentholated
    Soap: Wholly Kaw Merchant of Tobacco
    Lucky Tiger face tonic
    AS: Wholly Kaw Merchant of Tobacco

    Good morning, friends!

    Tobacco Wednesday?
    This combo was going to be yesterday's but it didn't get delivered Monday.

    Great shave from today's gear. First use of Wholly Kaw. Performance and post shave feel is what's to be expected from an artisan soap and aftershave, very nice. The scent is nice as well. Not quite what I expected. I can pick up most of the scents in the description but cocoa is definitely the dominant scent to my nose. I smell like a fresh baked brownie. :)

    Second use of the 30mm Maseto two band. I really like this brush! Plenty of backbone. The softest tips of any brush I own.

    Have a great Wednesday! [​IMG]

    Love the photo Jim. What sort of staying power does the aftershave have?
