    After six days hunting without a shave; I figured the Flic 6/8 was up to the job.

    As a side note: before I left I decided to do a quick three pass shave with the de. Close enough but boy, no where close to the comfort level of a straight. First case of irritation in well over two years.

    Today's shave was with a Petite Swedish Beauty. I had a very nice 2 pass shave, with minor touch-ups, around the chin, that left me BBS. Zero issues. The only negative is how thin the Tang is, with this kind of frameback. It is difficult hold onto, to strop, with my large hands.

    Razor- Joh. Engstom. Eskilstuna Sweden. A true Frameback Razor.
    Brush- Wilkinson Sword Boar. No hairs shed. Very soft
    Soap- Arko/Sandalwood
    Aftershave- Osage Rub

    I love this razor. A nice cross-over between a single edge and a straight. It mowed down my six week old beard this morning with no problem. :happy088:

    Today's shave was with a "Plated Razor", involved in a long term test, to see if the razor is below par, compared to others.. This is shave 6 with it and it gave me a "Buttery Smooth" 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. Zero issues.

    Razor- Palmer 41. Chicago
    Brush- Wilkinson Sword Boar
    Soap- Arko/Sandalwood Scented
    Aftershave- Pinaud Clubman
