    Good morning

    Awesome shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. Completely silent alum. Gotta love it! It has taken several shaves to figure out what works for me with this razor. I feel like I have it dialed in. Smooth sailing.

    Have a great day!

    I just looked up the menu. I think I had seen one of those previously, but it never dawned on me there might be more. A lot of them look interesting. Hmm.

    Thanks,Joe!
    Thank you, Jim!
    There are a couple that caught my eye too.
    I have room for one more set without having to do some serious rearranging. I'm going to hold out until I see all of your and @b1hart reviews before making a decision. As of now Good Vibrations is in the lead.

    I Coloniali~~Simpson~~1947 Gillette Super-Speed~~Polsilver
    Quick shave before work.
    Face-lathered and didn't spend an inordinate amount of time working the lather.
    It was thinnish, but still very slick.
    The SS/Polsilver made quick work of the stubble.
    I Coloniali smells great and provides superior skin protection and hydration.     ​

    Excellent photo and shave report Jim. I’m glad you got the modified Gem blade to work for you. I think it makes the OneBlade more of an everyday razor.

    I couldn't do a third shave with the Feathers. Third shave with the Gem was great.

    Feather Pro
    Thäter Boar
    Stirling R4L
    Shave Soap & Aftershave

    [​IMG]​

    The big Thater boar ate through the Stirling soap whipping up a wonderful slick lather. This soap is just about done and dusted with one or maybe two more shaves left. Three passes and touch ups caught the baby with ease. I think the Feather is getting a little tired in the Hiram. With the razor being less efficient that the Enoch it takes more work to get the same results. I might change the blade out for a Super Pro tomorrow. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

    Razor: Schick B1

    Soap: Jeeves of Hudson Street Blood on Steel
    Post: Witch hazel, Jeeves of Hudson Street Blood on Steel aftershave

    Continuing to go through my soaps this month. Tobacco Tuesday shave today with Jeeves Blood on Steel. Outstanding lather and easy whisker reduction with the B1. A tiny weeper way down my neck but otherwise a clean shave. I am a little groggy after staying up much later than usual watching the national championship game. Enjoy your day!
