Excellent picture, Jason!

 

Wonderful picture, Mark!

 

Better buy her some Pork Green Chilli-I don't know whether it would be a "middle-of-the-road" kind of meal for her, but....seems like it COULD be.

 

Thank you, Perry.

 

Thanks, Clint.

 

Thank you, Joe!

 

The razor that reminded me that I had more to learn was my Timeless Bronze OC. It took several shaves with it to learn what a light touch really is.

You're getting close with the ATT.

 

Weds OCtober 23

I've wanted to use my Cooper Monobilt and today was the day. I think I need to repair the spring that holds the blade; it's putting a little too much tension on the blade and I think is slightly bending the blade when the cap is closed. I need to see if there is an easy way to fix this.

Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
Soap - MWF (it's Weds)
Brush - ThatDarnRob
Blade - Gillette Platinum (7)
Razor - Cooper Monobilt
Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Clubman Special Reserve

Shave rating 5 of 5

I haven't had this Cooper very long, about 3 months and this is my first time using it. Concerned about the piece of spring steel that holds the blade in place that it was bent slightly out of place by a prior owner. I need to figure out a way to adjust this as the spring very slightly warps the blade when the cap is closed. I just shave carefully on the one end of the razor; it gave me a great shave. The first pass WTG was smooth with a little blade feel, and fairly efficient - DFS. The second pass, XTG and again was a very smooth pass with no blade feel and and finished BBS. As usual, the MWF generated a great lubricating lather. I got a 2 pass, nick and weeper free shave. The alum was a little vocal on my neck area. I finished off with the Clubman SR A/S.

Overall, a really good shave. Going with some US made OC razors this week.

Happy OCtober and great shaves everyone.

I'd be ok with that. Thanks Joe!

It's less of what she eats and more of how much and how often she eats that seems to matter with this pregnancy, Paul.

Veddy nice shave, Ken!

 

Beautiful Razor Ken! Check out the Cooper razor owners club thread. I think I have a few pics posted there if s blade loaded in the g head that may help.

Thanks Jim....I have been apprehensive about the razor but I am really looking forward to the next shave. With this group of cheerleaders cheering me on I will get there!

 

Awesome shave Ken! Great picture and report.

 

Terrific picture, Joseph!

 

Thank you, Jason! I am actually a Dodgers fan, so my team already ran into the Nationals buzzsaw.

 

Nice shave!

 

Thank you, Andrew! I have had some pretty good shaves with the Oneblade, but today's was a little tougher. I probably could have done an additional pass with the growth, but it was good enough for the day.

 

Great picture, Andrew! You have Declan working the smartphones early!

 

That's awesome, Danny! That is one of my favorite movies.
