Good morning

Awesome shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. Completely silent alum. Gotta love it!

Have a great day!

 

Good mornig everyone!
Wednesday is here and we'll see how the rest of the week pans out.

The Gillette Tech that was partly switched with another yesterday was loaded with a new Feather blade.
All it's parts correctly in place and ready for business.
2 passes on the face went as expected keeping the razor at the correct angle for a comfortable shave.
2 passes on the gord with clean up a few places, but again comfortable.
No issues, no worries.
This little tool is good to go for someone who likes a mild 3 piece razor.
Running just like a tech should.
Using my Perfecto badger brush, it's not as soft as the synthetic brushes I've been using.
It still does a good job, if soaked befoe I use it.
All in all an OK shave, better than average ho-hum work shave.
Still rocking the sandalwood, nice.

Everyone
ENJOY!

I hope you all feel better soon, Andrew.

 

Enjoy. I am trying to figure out the difference between the Jaws and the OC GC.

 

Very nice Terry!

 

Thanks, Joe!

 

No wonder Helga has a hard time understanding you, Tim.

 

Thanks Joe!

It's much more laid back in retirement. It takes effort to keep the BBQ sauce off my ascot, but it can be done with practice.



And before any of you wisenheimers point out that I'm wearing a pink shirt....It's hibiscus, OK?

 

No I wish that were it. I have been running on this setup for the last 5 months or so with no issues using their router. Then xfinity change their security provider and it has screwed things up.

 

Wow. That can't be fun. I hope you guys are feeling better soon.

 

Looking good Patrick. That is one cool brush.

 

Looks to me like the OC has finer teeth and more of them, Joseph. They are both listed as .84 gap with positive exposure.

 

Thank you Jason. The traffic is one nice positive of this mess

 

Beautiful photo and shave Jim. The detail on that razor is impressive.

Great shave Terry. I hope your day goes well. Take care.

 

As I understand things the shape and number of the teeth are different with everything else the same.

Occam’s Safety Razor
Feather
CH2 Synthetic
The Dead Sea
Shave Soap & Aftershave

​

The "Soap Destroyer" loaded and lathered the Dead Sea with ease. While this might not be my best performing soap, I absolutely love the scent. I decided to change up the razor and went with the Occam's safety razor with the wild plate. This setup certainly had more blade feel than the Lupo. At the end of two passes I had a near BBS and could have just buffed my neck out. However, I decided to go with a complete 3 pass just to enjoy the scent and caught the baby with ease. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

 

Thank you, Clint!

Terrific picture and shave, Clint! The Occam's DE is a favorite for sure.

 

Super shave Clint!
