Unbelievably cool looking razor! I really must give SE razors another chance in the future! Once I've actually got the hang of DE that is!
Rockwell 6S Gillette Platinum JOHS Bay Rum Simpson Commodore X3 Pinaud Clubman Enough was enough. “Ol’ Shedder” truly irked me this morning. It was almost comical for awhile…shedding a hair or two. Then a shave with no shedding. Next shave, drop another one or two. This morning, it was about 15 that dropped. The laughing stopped today. The shave itself was absolutely delightful. Have a great Saturday, fellas! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Excellent report and photo - the norm of what we can expect from you! Entertaining & educational. I really dig that brush!
Ever give any thought to being the staff photographer for Shave Magazine? Man, that's just the berries right there.
Hard to believe it's been a year already. I hope that little by little, you are finding peace and remembering the good times.
Excellent report on your journey with the straight, Randy. I meant to ask you about it yesterday...but you know...Hey!! Squirrel!!
Fab photo, Clint! The razor is a nice paring with that brush. Ahh...that brush... And, how 'bout dat? BBS using the F plate. Way to go!
Poor Ol Shedder has bitten the dust. I had hoped it would straighten out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Thank you Bruce. The razor and brush are meant for each other. I will say it was a spooky close shave. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Me too. It took it a bit too far this time. Obviously, a re-knot is planned. I just don't know which knot yet.
Thank you, Clint! Thank you, Charlie! Thank you, James! Great photo, Bruce! Too bad about the ol' shedder. Thanks, Bruce!
I’m will use it and the E plate a few more times to decide if they stay or go. I’m not sure they really over anything over the D plate. I do know that to me the D plate is much smoother. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
August 11 G3 Gillette Fatboy on setting 7 Perma-Sharp Super Stainless (4) JR #160 Louisville Slugger handle with Omega 10098 boar knot Le Père Lucien - unscented Thayers Lavender witch hazel, Trumper Coral Skin Food, and unrefined shea butter This set up is working really well for me. I increased the setting from 5 to 7 for the last few shaves. There's obviously more blade feel, but the shaves continue to be very close and comfortable. I skipped yesterday, so today's shave consisted of a two-passer on two days of growth. The Perma-Sharp blade shows no signs of dulling on the 4th shave. I will change it out anyway for tomorrow's shave. My Bride and I are going to a Bible study weekend group class dinner tonight. A friend is showing off his smoker skills, and we're happy to oblige him! I hope you all have a great weekend.
