May the Father bless you and yours.

 

awesome Chris..take care..

 

Perhaps starting a separate thread could get things rolling and keep them consolidated.
Settle up on a date and time. Have the meet and schedule a 2nd. If meant to be, it will take off.

 

The neck is hard terrain. No doubt.


May God bless you and yours.

Be well

Good morning!

Excellent shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. Nearly silent alum.

Have a great day!

 

Great photo Jim.

Shave Soap & Aftershave

​

I will keep moving on for Mix it Up May. Up for the next few days is the Occam's Safety Razor with the wild plate. Trying to keep up with @jluc , I paired the Simpson CH2 with The Dead Sea. Somehow my color coordination falls short of Jim's. I guess that is understandable since he is the master. The Soap Destroyer did a wonderful job loading and lathering The Dead Sea. I just love the scent of the soap. Three passes and touch ups ended with a BBS shave but I managed to a good nick on my left neck. Neither the alum or styptic pencil have stopped the flow. Oh well, I hope that is not an indication for the rest of the day. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

I think your color coordinating looks great and so is your picture! Sorry about the cut.

 

Lovely shave, Clint! Sorry about the nick. That must of been a pretty deep cut if styptic didn’t help! Hope your day improves!

 

Gorgeous green-themed Photo! Have you compared the shave of your Sabre to any of the vintage Gem razors?

 

I thought you might get a kick out of the commentary. Take care and have a great day.

 

Thank you Jeff. I still don't know how I got a cut. Maybe there was a small bump or something I just sliced off.

 

Thank you, Jeff!

I believe the only vintage Gem razor I have is the Micromatic. My opinion is that the Micromatic is a touch smoother than the Sabre L2. I have an L1 baseplate for the Sabre on the way. I'm really finding my preference in razors is smooth with little to no blade feel although it's nice to have the others for when the mood strikes.

 

Nice shave this morning. This was my first shave where I had to work with a small amount of soap , but I recalled seeing a video where the guy also had a small amount, and he was able to work it into a large lather by his fast brush work. I'm nowhere near as fast as he is, but I, to, got the large lather. My brush looked like an ice-cream cone when done loading. I liked THAT, . I've always said that the Stoylin "li'l brudder" may be little in name and size, but the thing really packs a wallup of soap onto it. The soap is from Phoenix A.A. and is one of their Planet soaps, but I don't know which one. The shave action went real well. 2 passes, great coverage from each. No cuts(that's N and a big fat donut-O). Stoylin Unscented Splash to finish, which it did nicely.Happy shaver here...Top of the World Excellent.

 

Super shave, Paul! I know that’s your highest rating! Good for you!
