August 2021 30 Day Rule/Focus & Discussion. All are welcome!

Never used one . I prefer calling it a New because it really has nothing to do with the Tech. The New long comb whether in US or UK RFB form is not among my favorite Gillettes, I find the Short Comb much more effective, thus I'm dubious that making the LC less efficient by adding a safety bar will magically transform it into something I gotta have .

Thank you Joe... A muhle R41 with a Feather blade is an extremely efficient duo, which I have experienced with a face shave, but never tried doing a head shave. I will have to try that.. 'we only fear, what we don't understand or experienced'...Feather blades are my least used blade, not because they are super sharp, I find them to burn themselves out after a few shaves, and aren't the smoothest either. I like smoothness over sharpness in a blade.
Enjoy your weekend. Yours-Barry.

 

Thank you Joe.

 

.just a rare razor that collectors get their panties in a bunch about.i like the rfb including the hybrid,new sc is my close second.but i'm biased about brit razors...not into gold plating so much..

 

When a razor is rare and costly it's easily understood that people acquiring one subconsciously ascribe to it qualities an objective observer might not find apparent. I put the RFB and open comb Tech into that category as well.

Gotta get one my short combs replated in nickel, I'm also not a big fan of gold.

baby powder sounds nice, i bet you will get a bbs with it

 

my 2 favorite new sc are nickel plate,but my canadian new sc is gold plate..they are lovely shavers.my new "hybrid" was a set with a rough case and missing handle,so i was spared the large cost.

Good morning guys!

Shavette shave #293
Dove Shavette
Personna Hairshaper Blade (4)
Mr.EE Tuxedo Brush
Shannon's Soap LE The Warrior SS
P/C Lilac Vegetal
Maggard's Alum Block
Dickinson's WHT
Whiskers: 28 hrs



I decided to shave because I wanted to use a brand of soap that I have never tried before. I have heard good things about it and so with this fundraiser promotion, I pulled the trigger. Shannon's really likes water. It is easy to lather and is quite slick. It is a little goopy when it is very wet, but that is how I like my lathers. The scent has a mild, powdery scent so you can use it with any aftershave. Here is the first pass lather. As you can see, it makes a nice creamy lather. Unfortunately, the Warrior soap is unobtainable. I got a near BBS shave, but I got a small nick on my chin and a weep on the corner of my mouth. The nick was due to my being on autopilot and the weep was due to trying to be meticulous in that spot. Lol! The Alum took care of them without a problem. Splashed on the Veg. and I am good to go. Have a great rest of the day guys!

 

Thanks Tolga. I just finished using it for my shave.

 

awesome shave and pics Joe..you missed the eyebrows though....lol

 

whoa..that was close..coffee time..

 

Thanks Gary! You are up to your usual self! Lol!

 

No, it's lunch time! Blood sugar must be low, since I just came from the gym! Lol!

 

I have used my R102 loaded with a fresh Feather for a headshave. There's nothing quite like it.

 

all good Joe....have a fine afternoon..

 

Joe, you either need another cup of coffee, or we're in for an exciting update from you later this evening.

 

For some reason, the predictive text setting is on and I need to turn it off. I fixed the shave post and just turned the predictive setting off.

 

Adjustable August

Yardley~~Simpson MC~~Gillette #44/Polsilver~~C.O.Bigelow No. 32
Dr. Mrs. Primo "adjusted" the chosen Antonio Puig for C. O. Bigelow No. 32.
Everything else was the same and all parts performed well.
Here's some info on my post shave.






If I were to criticize this cologne, it would be its performance.
4-5 hours, maybe.​
