Proraso PS Red
Zenith Boar
Feather AC DX (kamisori style)
Kai Captain Titan ProTouch
C&F Lime Oil SC
Pinaud EdC Citrus Musk
Uneventful 2 pass DFS- The minus being the lower right neck. Didn't go for the .5 pass on the neck, as it's still a little irritated from chasing it yesterday. The Feather handle setup this way is second nature now. Caught my mind wondering while jamming to Tangerine Dream (from Risky Business soundtrack), and thought, HEY....you're going to spill crimson, keep the focus!
Castle & Forbes Lime Oil SC....why did I wait so long? Have to look into more options of theirs (like my SAD doesn't already have enough soaps/creams filling up the shelf). The lather whipped up with the C&F and Zenith was creamy rich and
slick...very slick, like snot on a door knob slick (my grandfather's favorite quote). I don't think anything I have (or it's my lack of lathering skill) is this slick. Really. Seriously. Slick. No issues at all with razor skips. Even wondered if the blade had been set down a couple times. The swiped lather and growth rinsed easily off the blade, zero residue. Finished with the Pinaud Citrus Musk EdC (note to self....it freaking hurts on a sunburned lip). The paired Pinaud Citrus Musk and C&F Lime is a wifey declared favorite. Must. Use. More. Often. Favorite.
Today marks an entire month of shaving with open blades almost every time I shaved (except for 1 day while traveling, and the days I skipped completely). A couple early month touch ups with my Dart around the mouth & chin, but....it's still an accomplishment to me. Open blade shaving, I've learned imo, and I'm sticking with it. To reward myself (plus putting in 18 hour days now for a couple weeks), you'll see a new SR or a Kamisori blade soon (the wait begins). The SR thread lurking has fueled a couple RAD purchases.

Thank everyone for their comments on images and my progress. House moves, gazebo moves, new Gillette RAD, ice cream ADs, great images and reports posted, everything.....I read it all, and wish I had time to respond individually. I'll be back on June 2nd for more 30DC.....another working weekend for me starting at noon.
Hope everyone has a Fantastic Friday!
