It uses the Artist Club blades. So Feather Pro, Kai Captain, any of those.

 

Don't forget Schick Proline P30's

Arko Adjustable April

April 25

Razor - 1972 (S2) Gillette Super Adjustable (Black Beauty) (9)
Blade - (2)
Soap - Arko
Brush - The Canuck
Post - Alum

Last look at the Super Adjustable, or Black Beauty for the month. My "newest" Gillette adjustable and I like it more every time I use it. I love the long handle. Gives a great grip and ease of use while holding angles etc. I'm not sure if this razor has a bigger gap at 9 than the Slim and Fatboy but it feels like it. Seems a little more of the blade is out there and it gives a great shave even though it has that kind of "watch out" feel to it. The Canuck with the SynBad knot did a fantastic job. If you don't have a SynBad knot make sure you come to the meet-up....oh wait....I'm not supposed to say that yet. Anyway..........

The baby is here, I'm a happy camper and we're 5 days away from MAYhem!

Thanks for catching that!

Razor: Gillette Sheraton
Blade: 7 o'Clock Permasharp Stainless
Brush: Razorock Plissoft 22
Soap: Williams
Post: Alum, Listerine, WH

Behind once again. Let's see, Tuesday was the Schick L1 with a Japanese Twin. I was a bit lazy this morning, so I just grabbed the nearest DE with a blade in it, the Sheraton. I've lost count of how many shaves are on this blade and I could tell that the two-days growth was challenging it a bit, but I honestly can't say that anything was unpleasant and I certainly can't fault the result. We'll see what tomorrow brings...

 

very cool, love the razor..

 

my condolences sir,

 

hello fello shavers, thursday night shave..loving all these soaps but hard to choose a favorite..loving each one for their qualities is an easier task so thats my new way forward..they are all great..went with the paa doppelganger black tonight,small pea sized amount in the captains bowl.built a grand lather with the rr 400 synth brush, and in 3 passes with the flat bottom tech/gsb combo got a lovely dfs+ shave. no drama..paa black splash to finish.. awesome scent..love it..happy friday folks..

 

Patrick, prayers for you and your girlfriend.

 

Thanks for your kind words gentlemen. You guys always keep me going strong. I will pass on everyone's condolences to the family as right now I know the hurt they are feeling as I too am saddened by the loss of a loved one. God bless you all.

 

Keep those awesome shaves coming fellas. Makes me proud to be a wetshaver.

 

Hi guys, I did a little experiment which shouldn't be a surprise given my background. Lol! Seriously, I have been getting water spots on my straights. I decided to get Q-tips, paper towels, alcohol and my green chromium oxide bar. I decide to try my vintage blades first to see if I can get them shinier. First, I wiped them clean with alcohol and wiped dry. I took a Q-tip and rubbed it on the chromox bar and then applied it to the blade and tang of some of my vintage blades. Wiped with paper towels and then cleaned the Crox residue with alcohol to wipe dry. Lo and behold, they look so much better! My modern straights had little water discoloration and applied the same method to polish them. Every one of those blades came out great! Now, I am really happy looking at my straights. I thought I would share this info to all of you.

 

Great shave, lather and report, Rob!

 

Randy, great post! Only someone who isn't right would give up a Rex!

 

Thoughts and prayers sent.

Terry and Joseph...feel better soon.

 

His name is Jesus.

 

You have soft water and that is the key to your lather!

 

Great post, Keith!

 

Thank you Blair
