    I had a VERY rushed shave today. Didn't even have time for a brush. I did manage to snap a picture though. We had to be somewhere at 5 pm when I thought we were supposed to be there at 6. I shaved and showered in about 10 to 15 minutes total. Considering the rush I was in the shave ended up surprisingly close and comfortable. The BMMOC is an incredible razor.

    Alpha G4 Syn 28mm
    Vitos Super Red
    Claymore Evolution
    Schick Proline ( 3 )
    La Toja A/S Lotion

    Considering that it had to deal with Two days of my harsh stubble, this Razor/Blade combo was still very smooth and comfortable. Not only that, but with ease it removed growth from all areas leaving me with a bit of a Face Stroker.

    Today's shave was quite a Treet.
    And in more ways than one. It was also the first use of my Fuzzy ind. Rt. 66 with its newly set Oumo 24mm Boar hair knot.

    The Grosvenor 404mixed
    Ach Brito Mogno
    Personna Super Stainless
    Schick S/S Single- Japan ( 1 )
    Pitralon Classic A/S Lotion

    Took me an age to get to grips with this Razor, and it was with Personna blades. Today for a change I am trying a Japanese. Though the Shave was smooth enough, from memory I think the finish is not as good as those attained with a Personna Blade.

    SE SOTD, Wed, Jan 26th, 2022

    Razor: Oneblade core- Mfg 2017> excellent mild razor, great design, Feather FHS-10 blades it uses have no longevity so I use 2 de-splined Gem blades. I just grind 1 spent one on the cutting edge and stack the new Gem blade on top and place together in the core and works well. There is enough resistance to hold the blade and makes the shave a touch better for efficentcy IMO. Good daily driver also.
    Great razor to use shaving the back of my neck after each hair cut clipping.
    Blade: excellent blade, very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely + predictable. Best cost per/shave for SE blades IMO.
    Soap: Ogallala Bayrum with Sandal wood, great soap, great lather qualities. I Enjoy the scent of Bayrum with sandalwood.
    Brush: Yaqi 24mm Mysterious galaxy silvertip badger, excellent lather generator, heavenly pillow like soft tips, great scrub + excellent lather painter.
    Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
    Post shave: Witch hazel cleanse + Ogallala Bayrum with sandalwood (some clove) + dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion.
    Results: CCS, DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = [​IMG]excellent shave with my Oneblade Core with a de-splined Gem.
