    Is that the Silvertip SOC? If so how soft is it?

    Cold Water Wash
    Mitchell's Wool Fat
    The Brush B-3 by Tom, Badger
    C.V. Heljestrand
    C.V. Heljestrand wedge
    CWR
    Pinaud Clubman Vanilla AS

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap face lathered well with The Brush B-3 by Tom. I did two passes with the C.V. Heljestrand Lather Catcher Razor with a C.V. Heljestrand wedge blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Pinaud Clubman Vanilla AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    No it is a mixed 50/50 2 band and boar bristle. Now that the boar bristles are starting to break-in the brush is soft with tons of backbone.

    Ikon “El Jefe” & Schick Proline #5
    Maggard Granite 26mm
    AoS Kingsman LE Bourbon shave cream
    Thayers Medicated W/H Astringent
    AoS Kingsman LE Bourbon A/S balm
    Armani Code Ultimate edt

    The Ikon El Jefe. I like to think of this razor as the modern day Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. Why? Well, the original SE that Ikon came up with was this version here, the El Jefe. Unfortunately or fortunately (for those like myself) it was a factory blem as the razors post holes would not line up precisely with the base as was originally intended and there was an inherent bit of play once the blade was installed. It wouldn’t move during the shave but, you had to align the blade correctly either forward on the stops or, back against the stops. And that’s where I get the Jekyll & Hyde theme and comparison. If the blade is aligned forward against the stops, it’s as ferocious a razor as I have ever used. An extremely light touch and delicate hand is required to tame the beast. On the other hand, if you align the blade back at its furthest on the stops, it’s as mild and efficient as a razor can be. I consider it the only adjustable SE in existence by default. Truly a a mild mannered razor or a beastly one rolled up into one package...

    Am starting to find that my Shaves with my AC/SE Razors are getting predictably good, especially the
    heavier ones. I think I need to turn to Vintage on my next rotation.

    A Stirling SEptember

    Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: GEM PTFE
    Razor: Superior Lather Catcher
    Brush: JR #41 badger
    Soap: Stirling Glacial Lemony Orange
    Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill aftershave

    Superior Lather Catcher today. Smooth sailing over some cold glacial lather. Two days of growth swiped away easily and efficiently. Successful way to start the work week.

    Have a great day!

    The Schick Repeater sure looks good Andrew. Is it light and does it shave well?

    Thank you Doug, it does shave well but it isn't light like other injectors. It's got some decent weight to it!
