Awesome lather this morning and I'm really enjoying the SC Fortitude....good stuff.

The ATT completed three beautiful passes for an amazing shave.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday.

 

Open Comb Tech-Prismatic/Twin Treet Falcon/Proraso. The huge cap span makes the Prismatic a very noisy razor, using 2 Falcon blades on the OC Tech plate quiets considerably. Marvelous comfort and efficiency. I could have done without a second lather on my head but used the excess to do a cleanup pass using the stock plate which I'll return to tomorrow.

Nice handle Jeff, what is it ?

 

It's a Tibam titanium.

It is so purdy!

 

The lighter titanium balances nicely with lighter vintage heads especially.

Great shave kit, Barry! You’re really making that Snmirn adjustable your own. I wish you a happy and productive day!

 

Cool-looking razor, Troy! It looks like it borrowed a bit from the Gillette OT design. Does it shave like an OT?

 

Awesome shave kit, Danny. When I was in the city over the weekend, I retrieved my RR 400 brush. Plan to shave with it tomorrow.

 

Awesome Frankenrazor combo, Jeff, as usual. I love that handle. Is it a Tibam? Enjoy your day, my friend!

 

Tibam titanium it is yeah. Enjoy yours too .

Yes.

 

Every one of my 6 nephews and my 1 niece are great lookers. I am glad they did not take after me.
Lol!

 

Awesome shave Barry. Enjoy the rest of the day.

 

Simply beautiful, Jeff.

 

Great shave, pic and setup Danny.

Beautiful vintage razor, Jeff.

This morning, I am feeling better and my temp is 99 + F. This bug that I caught was not serious, but it was a nuisance. I needed to get an open blade shave in this week. Tomorrow evening is the viewing so did not want to shave tomorrow with a heavy stubble. Tomorow, I will play it safe and use one of my Rockwells.
Danny's brush is truly a top performer. I always get great lathers. I developed a super wet, slick lather. Most people would not like it, but with almost a 2 day stubble, I need a goopy lather. I do not queeze out the excess water and just swirl the brush on the puck. Yes, it gets foamy, but I use it as a preshave and then I add more soap so that I get that soupy, slick consistency that I need for my stubble. Only needed 2 passes without pickups to give me a near BBS shave . I figured why chance getting a cut on a fine shave, especially that I am not 100%. For the same reason, I did not want to use one of my straights. I just did not want to wipe off the oil and then strop. Using a shavette was easier for me. Applied the alum block and did not get any feedback which told me that I got a close, comfortable shave. That's pretty good for a blade with 12 shaves. Finished my usual postshave ritual to end this wonderful shave. I am going to venture out today to get some fresh air. I will stop at the gym and do a very light 30 min cardio session. In other words, I need to pretend that I am out of shape. I will not do any strength training this week, just these light cardio sessions to get my blood moving again. Being in bed for days kind of knocked me out so I have to get back into my program gently. Take care.

 

Thanks, Joe! Hope you’re feeling better.

 

Hope you continue on the mend! Feel better and don’t overdo the cardio.

 

Jeff, the shave is more reminiscent of a NEW, rather than the old style. It is mild, mild but still pretty darn efficient. I mainly use it for over-due head shaves, but OCtober!
