    Good morning, guys!
    Just finished shaving my face and chrome dome!
    My random pick was my '61 FB (G-4).
    Voshkod blade
    Semogue OC Badger
    Stirling Coconut Lime SS
    Stirling Coconut Lime SS
    Headshave
    Rockwell Model T
    Voshkod Blade
    Stirling Coconut Lime SS & AS
    My Semogue brush did a great job producing a nice rich, lather. The Coconut Lime is not an overbearing scent, but it does smell nice. Great protection and slickness is the norm with Stirling soaps. Three passes with my Fatboy gave me a nice, comfortable BBS shave on my face w/o any nicks, cuts, weepers or irritation. Finished with matching aftershave.
    For my headshave, I used my Model T with a Voshkod blade and continued to use the rest of my gear. The headshave was BBS as well. Finished with the
    Coconut AS. I am spoiled with the Model T that I will not use any other shaver to do a headshave. This razor hits my most difficult area to a T. Please pardon the pun. I feel real good after this shave. Well, its off to the gym then meeting my friend to celebrate our birthdays for lunch. His birthday is today and mine was on the 16th. I finally can relate to the Beatles song, "When I am 64"! Later in this evening, I will be enjoying a jazz band.
    You guys have a great day! 20190621_174424.jpg 20190621_174424.jpg

    Thanks Joe
    I have so many different razors, it's hard to decide what one to use. ;)
    Probably heading toward open blades, because they're a challenge.
    Well.....

    Brass General
    Feather Pro
    Semogue Mistura Taj
    SV Manna di Sicilia
    Shave Soap & Aftershave

    [​IMG]​

    I decided to transfer the General for this mornings shave. Everything just worked well together for a drama free shave. Three passes and touch ups ended in a perfect BBS shave. A splash of the matching aftershave and I am off to run errands with my wife. I hope everyone has a great Saturday.

    Razor: Above The Tie Bamboo Handle SE1
    Blade: Feather Professional (1)
    Brush: Shavemac Zebra, Honeycomb 2 Band Badger
    Soap: Captain's Choice Bay Rum
    Aftershave: Captain's Choice Bay Rum

    Got some rain this week, but not to much. Excellent shave with the Above the Tie SE1. I think my favorite SE blade is the Feather Professional, it never disappoints. Great razor and brush combination, even if I do say so myself. :happy102:
