    Great report and shave Blair. Sounds like the OneBlade is a keeper.

    Joseph, very nice shave and the brush is purdy. I love the blue resin with the wood grain. Looks great.

    I had a weak moment :( this morning and order a few more things from Above the Tie. I have got to stay off of their website. When the order gets here I'll share some pictures. This enabling thing is getting out of hand. I seem to be enabling myself!

    They do have some very nice products. Lots of eye candy for sure. The Copper Windsor is purdy.

    Friday OCtober 18

    This is a slightly smaller and lighter Leresche #34 model than the Leresche #54 I used earlier in the week. The comb length seems to be slightly shorter on this razor than on the #54. I didn't measure, I will later, it is just my impression on use.

    Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
    Soap - MWF (it's Friday)
    Brush - M&F Stubby, Finest Badger, Cobalt 30mm
    Blade - Gillette Platinum (4)
    Razor - Leresche #34 (France)
    Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Epsilon Blue A/S (Spain)

    Shave rating 5 of 5

    I liked the shave although I liked the #54 better. The #34 is a little lighter and I found it a little difficult to find the proper shaving angle. My first pass WTG was smooth with no blade feel, and not very efficient and it left me with more stubble than I'm used to, <DFS. The second pass, XTG and again was a very smooth pass with absolutely no blade feel and DFS+. I don't and I'm not chasing BBS so I didn't feel I needed to do another pass. The MWF lather was very good on the first pass and perfect for the second pass - I didn't do anything, it just sat in my scuttle. I got a 2 pass, nick and weeper free shave. The alum was silent, even on my neck area which is unusual. I finished off with the Epsilon Blue A/S.

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

    Happy OCtober and great shaves everyone.
