30 Day Rule/Focus; March 2025. All Are Welcome!

Great shave Neal. That razor looks terrific.

 

Fine shave this morning. I had Mike's Natural Unscented for my soap, and Bill Neumann 1911 for the A.S. Clean&clear all around for the shave. No damage. I should have used a little more Neumann afterwards, but it was good. 2 healthy passes. I lik the 1911-my favorite Neumann. I'm thinking of getting their shave ceam(s). As outstanding as it gets.

Hi all,
I had a superb shave tonight with the Apex SS I have had this Razor for about four months this is shave number five I think.
This razor is so smooth and efficient In my opinion I feel it shaves as close as the Black Bird SS but smoother with a little
less blade feel.
The weight of the razor is perfect as I feel like the its shaving by its self and I just guide it (Its really that good)
I have only used Wizamet's in the razor so far its just as good 1st and 2nd shave and only drops of a bit on the 3rd.
I am sure it will perform just as well with other sharp blades in my stash.
One pass WTG/AGT no touch ups.
Absolutely irritation free smooth as silk I didn't even need the Bahm but used it anyway.
Errol the (razor review guru) from paste & cut was right on the money its Superb.

The Genuine Ogallala Bay Rum & Sweet Orange is is a really nice soap it lathers up thick and doesn't dry out
with great cushioning and post shave feel.

Cheers.

Thank you Gary...these days I dom't know what computer I'll be using mine, or one at the library. But back to the shave, I'll uas a little more Neumann tomorrow, as I said.

 

Excellent shave with a top shelf razor.

 

Thanks Gary.

 

Thanks. This is probably the best of the Soviets I've collected and tried. Seems like they got things closer to the real specs of the Gillette on this one. The blade gaps are still greater than on the Gillette but other than that if you put a black handle on it you might be convinced it's a Super Adjustable. I say "might".

A nice Stiring shave this morning with the custom straight. Three pass to a close and comfortable shave. I loaded the soap off of the pick before taking g the brush to the lathering bowl. Once I had the lather the way I liked it I placed the brush in the brush scuttle to chill the lather courtesy of the iced water in the reservoir. Iced soap heaven!

Hope you all have had a great day.

 

Thank you Gary.
