Thanks Joe....LOWERING to Most Excellent tells us something, eh???

cool shave and pic Neal..

thank you Blair..good morning..

Thanks, Joe!

Beautiful photo! Sorry about the burning. This tends to happen to me with some soaps... The most noticeable has been the Almond TOBS. It's a real shame when soaps are rendered unusable in this manner.

Get some rest and feel better soon Jim

fine shave Tim..

Gillette Old Type w Polsilver (4)

CL Unconditional Surrender AS

Day 4 with the OT. I decided to use up this old sample of Lavanille today. This is 'one of those' scents from B&M. Such varied opinions, but I like the scent of this one. Would I buy a full tub? I'd replenish Seville first. Took the soap to the bowl and took the time to get a pretty nice lather. I used to bowl lather exclusively, but over the last 3 years or so have transitioned to mainly face lathering. I did enjoy it this morning, and it had the added bonus of breaking in this boar a bit more.
3 passes later and I'm not as smooth as yesterday thanks to a little sandpaper on my lower right neck, but still a nice result. Finishing off with the excellent CL splash is always a good idea.
This month, I focussed on my Gillette NEWs and my Old Type. Call it a vintage Gillette OC focus, I guess. I really enjoyed every one of these razors. They are all slightly different, but I love 'em all. I also got to show off the skill of @MrEE , as the LC, Bostonian and OT are recently back from his plastic surgery studio. Here is the family portrait of this month's shavers:

Have a great day all.

Good morning

Excellent first shave with the Gamechanger! Three passes for near BBS. Just the lightest tickle from the alum.

I found the razor to be intuitive. No trouble finding and maintaining the angle.

Another month of shaves in the books. I started the month getting the Dart dialed back in and focusing on my Barrister and Mann soaps and aftershaves. Most of the rest of the month was spent playing with new razors with a few because it has a blade in it shaves.

April? Hmm...
All I can say for sure is that I'll shave.

Have a great day!

cool shave Terry..

Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - PreShave Tube 2.0
J.A. Henkels Friodur INOX 472 6/8⁣
Omega EVO Synthetic
L'Occitane Shaving Cream - Cade
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - ASB Star Jelly
L'Occitane EdT - EAV DES BAVX

A couple new acquisitions put to use today....L'Occitane shaving cream-Cade...is a subtle lightly woody perfumy 'soapy' aroma. A purchase in January, along with L'Occitane's EdT. Yesterday I also received a delivery from West Coast Shaving....probably one of the fastest deliveries EVER (other than Amazon). Finally broke down on the Omega EVO purchase, got a deal along with free shipping. Ordered Saturday, delivered Monday, wow. The EVO....a great synthetic brush. Like the 30DC'rs that enabled me on this one...the handle is 'meh' not bad, but the knot is awesome. Might use it for awhile as it is, then transplant it.

The EVO and Cade SC worked a wonderful bowl lather of slick, cushiony, voluminous goodness. 2 passes with the Henkels most everywhere (WTG/XTG), and some follow up buffing of the right jawline/neck. DFS+ results with no crimson or irritation. This razor is always a smooth shaver. Quick light application of PAA's Star Jelly, and a couple of spritz's of EAV DES BAVX....off to a great smelling Tuesday. This fragrance is a very nice, long lasting, wifey approved, vanilla with tobacco blend.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

cool shave andpic Jason..

A wonderful sounding shave today, Clint, and the usual fantastic monthly summary. The Cubebe is superb. I realized looking at your summary photo that you used every brush for 2 days is a row. Is this what you usually do? If so, I've missed it.

Sorry to hear about the burning, Joseph. At least it isn't from a fave scent.
