    Razor: Gillette Bostonian
    Blade: Wizamet (2)
    Brush: Rubberset 400/Oumo Boar
    Soap: Lakewood SOCP (1508.5 Continues)
    AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
    AS 2: Ethos Fresh Lime
    Fragrance: CK ONE

    Gave this razor to my Father-in-Law years ago and borrowed it as I've been contemplating getting one. I wanted to know if it was a razor I'd use fairly often as I don't collect just to own razors but only if they are going to be used. These are gorgeous pieces of history and they always catch my eye. I got a great shave but it just isn't as smooth/comfortable to me as the Long Comb so I'm back on the fence and backed away from the want to get one mindset........................for now [​IMG] Maybe I'll just send my Long Comb out for a re-plating. The 1508.5 continues with the Sweet Orange Chili Pepper that was whipped into an amazing lather due to an overloading of the knot. I need to focus on loading much more soap, especially with a boar knot. Days activities are in the air but getting new tires on the wife's vehicle is needed so that's a possibility. Have a great day everyone !!!

    Thanks Joe, hoping to kill some soaps by using 1 exclusively every other day and this was the 1st one with this method. The off day I get to choose whatever I crave. So half a 3017 or called a 1508.5. You have a great day too !

    December 31st
    Razor: Yates 921-M
    Blade: Feather NHS (1)
    Brush: Simpson CH2 synthetic
    Pre-shave: PAA Cube
    Soap: B&M Leviathan
    PAA Galactic Witch Hazel
    B&M Unscented Balm
    AS: B&M Leviathan

    Good Morning!

    First outing with the 921-M. Took me a few strokes to find an effective cutting angle. Muscle memory takes me directly to a shallow angle. Nothing doing. I had to really drop the handle to get the blade to make skin contact. Small sweet spot but once I found it I got a terrific shave. Three passes for near BBS. Nearly silent alum.

    Have a great day!

    Great shave Jim and the pic......WOW !! The H plate is where it really shines and maybe that's why I love the Yates so much. It is a more natural position for me as I don't like riding caps. Have a great day !
