SOS: August 2018

Clix EZ-FLO (slotted version) with Blackbird handle/Supermax BDT (1). More aggressive shave than the three hole Clix but seemingly less effective ATG on my head. The Blackbird handle is gorgeous but frankly I think it's a poor design, without question the most slippery handle in my collection. Anybody know if an Asylum RX handle will mate with the Blackbird head?

 

Man, that Rockwell with a fresh Derby blade is a rip roaring monster. Two passes and it's a better shave quality than most of my straights give. The cost is a bit more blood than I'm used to. A mosquito bit me on the neck, I forgot the little bump was there, and the danged razor took the top off it. Ouch.
The A&E Summer Fig made a superlative lather, rich and creamy, but had little to no scent. The Damp Cellar horsehair whipped the lather up nicely. The Summer Break Teacher's Pet is about my favorite aftershave right now, a crisp apple scent really tops off the shave nicely, and makes me look forward to Fall.

 

Excellent photograph with a beautiful razor Gus.

 

Is that a Rockwell? It looks just like a Baili I have.

 

Rockwell R1. It's probably the best double edge razor I've used, although it will draw blood. At first, I hated the bright shiny chrome finish, but boy oh boy will this little devil shave!

Mighty fine shave to start the week with. The Rainbow blade never feels like it's doing much yet the shaves always end up DFS+, go figure. Anyway, my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.
