Beautiful razor, Jim! How much does it weigh?

 

Thanks, Keith, I wasn’t aware of that!

 

Congratulations, Charlie and Kathy on the continued healing progress! Prayers continue as well!

 

Thank You.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

 

Thanks, Keith! Part of my issue may also be my son’s honing skills. In any case I do find my shaves with the Feather SS to be closer. Hopefully, that will change with time.

 

Cool-looking handle on that razor, PierPaolo!

 

Great shave, Keith! I’m glad your shave went well! Do you have a closeness criterion, or do you not bother. I’ve become so accustomed to VBBS shaves with my safety razors, I find myself frustrated with the results from my straight shaves which is why I’ll be doing a focus with the Feather and Monsieur Charles Barber’s razors next month. If that doesn’t close the gap, I’ll just remain at a loss! That gap I’m experiencing may be attributable to my neurology.

 

Thank you, Jeff!
The razor weighs 62g according to the website. I have the same razor in 17-4 stainless that weighs 102g.

Thanks, Pierpaulo!

July 29th
Razor: H&S Co PO76Ti
Blade: Sharp Star (1)
Brush: Grizzly Bay PureMagic
Pre-shave: PAA Rabid Banana Cube
Soap: B&M LGC
PAA Galactic witch hazel
PAA unscented Star Jelly
AS: B&M LGC

Good morning!

First shave with the PO76Ti. Awesome! I have been using the PO76 17-4 the past few days in anticipation of the Ti's arrival. They're the same razor just in different materials. The Ti felt just a touch smoother. Both fantastic razors polished to an absolute mirror on every surface. Three passes for near BBS. Ever so close to silent alum.

Have a great day!

Great photo, and report, Jim! Glad your shave went well! It certainly is shiny!

Thank you, Andrew!
I'm not positive if these are what's considered the "Black Beauty". I just did a quick search, and it seems like folks do refer to the Treet Carbons as such....but I dunno for certain. I don't have a lot of experience with the Treet Platinums. From what I recall, they're decent, yet not long-lasting.

 

Thank you, Joe!

 

SOTD WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 29, 2020

I enjoyed the shave with the Monsieur Charles Barber’s razor. The Schick B-20 Proline took a bit of doing to load, but performed decently. DFS all around the mug which I cleaned up with the Rex Ambassador to my desired VBBS level. The Rex is an awesome head shaver and delivered the same quality shave to the dome. This little Kent Synthetic is a surprisingly good lather generator. Great shave! I feel cool, clean and velveteen!

RAZOR: Monsieur Charles (Mug), Rex Ambassador (Dome)
BLADE: Schick B-20 Proline (Mug), Suneko (6) (Dome)
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by Rabid Banana Preshave Cube
BRUSH: Kent Infinity Synthetic
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat w/ 6 drops of M-Bomb
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH and Osage Rub. Finished with Krampert’s Frostbite AS Splash.

 

Great news on Kathy's progress, Charlie. It's nice that you're getting some downtime, where you can relax together, as well. Best wishes for continued progress - and hopefully things can get back to normal soon. Great to see you 'round these parts again!

 

Wow! Very cool straight, and lovely brush, Keith!

 

Delightful shave, Pierpaolo! Nifty razor handle!
