Thanks Gary. The razor is mild, but it does the job well. Thanks for putting me onto Seaforth Sea Spice Lime. It still holds it's frag since I purchased it on Oct. 2023.
Thanks Casey. I have been wetshaving since Sept 2018 so I have perfected my technique over the years. I am very blessed that I can shave with any razor and get great results 95% of the time. It really boils down to know the direction of how your beard grows known as mapping your beard and the shave soaps that mesh with your beard and skin type. Also, learning and remembering the shave angles that are different for various razors. Finally, be willing to apply new shaving techniques that you might try that give a better shave then your usual routine.
Awesome Artist Club Shave Paul. I have a shavette that uses artist club blades, but haven't purchased any as of yet.
Fantastic shave Gary. People tend to get greedy with their asking prices on the net. There's a sucker born every minute.
Thanks Joe. The Semogue brush was one of my first brushes along with the Omega 49 Pro I purchased on line when I first out. Both are excellent brushes.

I think the helpful hint is using the blade with an adjustable only on the dial needed for the blade not on less aggressive or too aggressive. For this reason, I do not like modern models say the one RazoRock designed then had the model made in China or the Chinese clones of the model that do not use numbers other than a start and or directional arrow as no numbers or dots would be hard to use for me.
