    What gets me is the price if doc fees in our area. 500 to 600.00 at most lots. That is why my son bought his truck from an individual.

    Dec 21 2nd TSD/30 DC Anniversary Shave!

    Rockwell Model T (6)
    Rockwell DE Blade (1)
    JR #386 Silvertip Badger Brush
    Stirling Christmas Eve SS and AS
    Dickenson's Unscented WH (not pictured)
    Whiskers: 24 hrs

    Ok, I decided to do a DE shave to celebrate my anniversaary. My first DE was a VDH, but I chose the Model T because it is my most decadent safety razor and the Rockwell brand was one of my first. I also chose the Christmas Eve software because let's face it, this is the most appropriate week to use it. In fact, I will be using Stirling Christmas Eve throughout this week and maybe next week as well. I also chose the JR #386 because it is my top brush.

    At 24 hrs growth, I really was socially presentable, but I decided to shave anyway.
    The JR #386 has been a lather hog for me and the brush handle always was getting slippery when wet. I recently had solved this problem by wetting the face with the brush to get rid of the excess moisture. The brush is damp enough to make a pasty load so that I facelather and add small amounts of water to the tips and continue until I get the lather that I want. With this method, I did get a nice, creamy slick lather and during the shave, I didn't have a slippery brush handle. However, the brush still hogs lather, but it's not as bad as it has been. Did 2 passes and got a near BBS shave. Applied the witch hazel and the matching aftershave to finish. In retrospect, I should have used setting 4 with a new blade and a small amount of stubble because I felt the aftershave burn. C'est la vie! Have a great day guys! 20201221_095143.jpg

    Awesome series of shaves Keith. The Drew Dick razor is a beauty. I definitely enjoy my 7/8's Damacus French Point. I have been tempted to check out the Turtleship brand. Just trying to resist since I want to reduce the den a little. It might be a losing battle. Have a great start to your week.

    Terrific shave, Paul! Personally, I put extra AS in my hands to cover my dome. I do so whether I shave or don't shave the dome.
