    I've been looking at these razors with interest! What's the build quality and projected durability like?

    Razor: Blackland Dart
    Blade: SuperMax Blue Diamond (3)
    Brush: Switchback/TGN boar
    Pre-shave: Stirling Mentholated
    Soap: Stirling Port AU Prince
    Stirling Bergamot Lavender witch hazel
    AS: Stirling Port AU Prince

    Good morning!

    Another wonderful shave to start the day. Two pass with quick touch up. DFS. I feel like I'm getting the Dart dialed in.
    On another note, my November mustache is looking like a mustache.

    The Port AU Prince is hanging tough. I have eight shaves with this sample and there's still a good amount left.

    Have a great day![​IMG]

    A great shave to start the day. Two passes and touch ups just missed the baby. A splash of Thayer's Witch Hazel and Fine Santal Absolut and I am ready for the day. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

    Thanks, Clint.

    Beautiful photo. I'm intrigued by that aftershave. May be one I have to add to the ever growing stockpile.

    Just a wonderful shave this morning, as I did two passes and got a BBS. This scent is different than modern Brut, and supposedly, it is based on vintage Brut. I have never tried vintage Brut, so I can't confirm. I definitely like this scent, though. I hope everyone has a great day!

    SOTD November 6, 2018

    Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: Schick
    Razor: Schick M1 adjustable
    Brush: JR #142 black badger
    Soap: Soap Commander Fortitude
    Post: Witch hazel, Jeeves of Hudson Street Tobacco Bay Leaf aftershave

    Nice Tobacco Tuesday shave this morning. Smooth sailing with the Schick adjustable on the highest setting. The JR brush whipped up incredible lather and the Soap Commander provides a slick lather with wonderful post shave feel. And finally a big splash of Jeeves Tobacco Bay Leaf splash to take it to the next level. Wonderful overall.

    I took today off to run some errands around town that I haven't been able to get to in a while. I'll get to drop Wilson off at his Mother's Day Out program, go vote, and get a few more things ticked off the list. But I still have to be out at school this afternoon for musical rehearsal. Oh well. At least most of the day is free.

    Enjoy!

    Thank you Jim. The aftershave is Fine's take on the AOS Sandalwood scent and is almost a perfect match.

    November 6

    Gillette Z-3 Super Speed
    Voskhod (3)
    Rudy Vey Chubby handle w/Shavemac two-band silvertip knot
    Hendrix Classics & Co. Shaving Soap
    Alum, Thayers Lavender witch hazel, unrefined shea butter, and Fine L’Orange Noir

    This was my first shave using the soap sample that @Pete123 so graciously provided. The lather was easy to build, long lasting, slick, and protective. The scent was pleasant and mild. From the website, "The scent profile for our Classic Barbershop includes Vibrant Bergamot and fresh basil leaf, which are complemented by earthy notes of Oakmoss and white patchouli." The ingredients list includes shea butter, and that's a plus for me. All in all, it's a very nice soap and one that I'll enjoy using. Thanks again, Pete!

    Everything went per the SOP this morning on my simple two-pass shave, and I finished with a generous splash of Fine L'Orange Noir. My mug is smooth, and life is good! My spoon is ready in case the imaginary ice cream shows up.

    Have a great day, friends!
