After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

Shavemac 22mm silvertip
Brevete/7 0'clock SharpEdge
MWF (excellent product)
Lucky Tiger AS
Storer 'Monk' EdP

Best shave yet with this goofy razor......playing with the attack angle has helped. Yeah, I concentrated on using the razor a little differently, leading to a bit more comfortable of a shave. Seems to shave me similar to my fatboy set on about 4-5 (instead of the usual #3), which isn't bad. I can live with this.

The Brevete gives me some extremely close shaves, and I'm gonna continue trying to tweak this thing. I do have to pay attention during my shave, because I know this thing will bite me badly if I screw up.

Anyway, it left me with a BBS face, with just a hint of tightness. Fun time!

Friday:

Omega Silvertip
Ming Shi TTO/new Nacet
Gada Cool Mint S/C
Visal A/S gel
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Acqua di Selva cologne

After 2 shaves without any menthol, I decided to blitz it again, and now my face feels like it'll need a couple of hours to get warm again! Guys, Visal is FRIGID!!!!!

 

Friday at last...

Merkur HD w/ 7 O'Clock yellow (6th day)
C&E BBB
Ogalla Bay Run soap (sample wedge)
Lilac Vegetal AS
Nivea AS balm

Had some trouble generating enough lather from the sample wedge but I went back to it between the first and second passes and got a decent shave nonetheless. I like the scent and might consider buying some down the road. I am surprised that the 7 O'Clocks are still performing so well, but I guess the combination of a light beard and a three razor rotation at this points really stretches the use. I am looking forward to trying another blade but these still feel good so if it ain't broke...
