    That’s not good at all. Doesn’t seem make a big improvement over no tub at all.

    Great photo and setup, Neal! What do you think of Glastonbury? Isn't that the one that's supposed to make you smell like you're at a Grateful Dead concert (minus the not showering for weeks part, or the smell of left-handed cigarettes)?

    December 12th
    Razor: Blackland Sabre L2
    Blade: Personna Gem PTFE (2)
    Brush: Switchback/TGN Finest
    Pre-shave: Stirling Mentholated
    Soap: B&M Vespers
    Lucky Tiger face tonic
    AS: B&M Vespers

    Good morning!

    I rotated through all my razors and got excellent shaves from all but one, so that's where my focus is. The Sabre didn't give me a bad shave it just wasn't as good as the others. Second use on the blade, and actually only the second use on the razor. I did palm strop the blade for this shave per @clint64 suggestion. The usual three pass BBS shave. Nice and smooth. A tickle from the alum on my neck and under my lip. Great shave to start the day! I'm looking forward to getting to know this razor better.

    Have a great day! [​IMG]

    Up and moving very early this morning, so I went with the OneBlade which consistently provides a great drama free shave. The CH2 Synthetic ate through the soap and whipped up a rich lather. This soap is already showing the ring of death so it will not last much longer. Three passes and touch ups ended with the baby just escaping. My lower right neck, aka "my nemesis" helped the little guy get away. A splash of CC Bay Rum and I am off to a client site for the day. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

    Thanks. Shave two was better than shave one so tomorrow we'll see what shave three is like.

    Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: vintage Personna twin
    Razor: Schick L1
    Brush: JR #60 synthetic
    Soap: Stirling Ozark Mountain
    Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Ozark Mountain aftershave

    Wonderful and easy shave with Ozark Mountain and the L1 injector. Vintage twin blade courtesy of @Screwtape provided a smooth shave. Wonderful lather from the JR #60 synthetic and all came together quite well. The lingering cool of the glacial menthol in the splash is really refreshing. Superb all around.

    Have a great day!
