    a tech month would work wonders..one of the best focus' i did.they take a little to dial in as they can be mild but once you are there..:bounce017:.like learning to drive a manual transmission.once you've learned to can drive many things..

    Thursday OCtober 17

    Using this razor for the first time, The Gleaner, a 2 piece made in Sheffield, England. I purchased this from a gentleman on B&B about 2 months or so back. This looks a bit like my Palmera 65 that I shaved with a couple days ago but the shave felt nothing like the shave I received from the Palmera.

    Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
    Soap - Stirling Executive Man
    Brush - Paladin Phantasia PK-47 26mm
    Blade - Gillette Platinum (3)
    Razor - The Gleaner (Sheffield, England)
    Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Stirling Executive Man A/S, Stirling Executive Man EdT

    Shave rating 5 of 5

    Although it looks like my Palmera 65, the first pass with The Gleaner told me this razor was nothing like it in the shave department. This is a smooth shaver with almost no blade feel. The first pass was WTG and was DFS. The second pass was XTG and again was a very smooth pass with absolutely no blade feel and a very easy BBS. The Stirling lather was a little watery; I put a drop or two too much water in but it lubricated well. It just wasn't thick like normal. I was about to finish with what I thought was a nick free and weeper free shave when I nicked my neck at my adams apple - I got distracted. The alum had a little to say around my neck area but it wasn't bad. I finished off with the Executive Man duo of A/S and EdT.

    Overall, a really good shave. I have a few more French razors for my next few shaves.

    Happy OCtober and great shaves everyone.

    I get excellent shaves with the Feather Popular. Tech month doesn't sound like a bad idea. Ha, i don't have a drivers license, but i can drive a manual, no problem. Learned on a field with an old toyota carina II. Have driven many times since that, but never on the road, don't want to risk other peoples lives.

    Thank you Andrew. My wife and I went for a drive to look at the leaves that have changed on Sunday. I brought my shaving gear with me and found this spot. My wife was interested in what I was interested in :sexe: (just kidding) so I took a picture of my shave for today. ;)
