    2 pass shave and got the job done. First use of the brush and quite a nice one it is, perfect for bowl lathering. Sorry no pic today...

    No I haven't tried them, when I bought them they were not sealed, not going to take a chance with them.

    Real efficient, so efficient I took the blade out and put it in my Mamba. This blade might be sharper than my feathers.

    Pre: Cold Water Rinse
    Bowl: Suribachi
    Brush: Turn-N-Shave ~ Potluck ~ 24mm Full Moon
    Lather: Soap Commander ~ Gratitude
    Razor: Post War Gillette Tech
    Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless (Green)
    Post: Speick After Shave Lotion

    This was my first time using a Soap Commander product. I’m very impressed with the lather; very quick to whip up with great cushion and residual slickness. The Gratitude’s scent is fantastic to boot!

    I am slowly taking the random road through January but used the 56 Blue Tip on the 11th and the 56 Flair Tip today...so I see a Red Tip in the future! LOL

    Had the time this morning for a 3 pass shave and it was wonderful. The 56 Flair Tip is a wonderful SS and though I like the 56 Blue Tip, I really like where this one sits between the mild Blue Tip and the awesomely efficient 56 Red Tip in the collection.
