SoS: February 16, 2015 - February 22, 2015

02/22/15 February Focus on Blades
Prep – MR GLO
Razor - Mongoose Satin B2
Blade – Feather Super Pro (1)
Brush – Rubberset 400 with Omega Boar
Lather – Soap Commander Confidence
Post - Witch Hazel and Dove AS Balm



First time for me using the Feather Super Blade. This blade is thicker and longer than the other blades available for the Goose making the blade exposure and the gap larger. I could tell this is more aggressive set up as I shaved today. More efficient on the first pass and closer shave overall. A 2 pass shave with touch ups yielded a BBS shave. One weeper on my neck but overall not the blood bath I had feared.

 

SaTURDay evening shave before heading out for Indian cuisine.


I shaved with my Engelswerk 42 tonight. The full hollow grind and the pointed toe make you really pay attention. Not a beginner razor, that's for sure.

Soap - Proraso red
Brush - Omega 80625
Alum - Razorock

During today's shave I skipped the pre-shave oil and did notice that the shave was less smooth than usual. This was a minor difference, but still noticeable.

Frostbite sequel
My shave yesterday was so nice that I decided to use the same set up. Same excellent results. Krampert's soap and aftershave work together to make my face feel cool and comfortable.
Off to church.

Great looking Krona Jim. They are smooth shavers.

 

Nice looking Single Ring Herm.

 

I wanna try one of those big wide blades.

 

That is one of my fav UFO handles.

 

Great looking photo!

 

Thank you. It is my only one and I really like it. I actually traded my MWF for it. I got tired of trying to acquire one so a TSD member and I came to an agreement. He got my MWF and I got this fine shaver. I recently made another trade with a new member where I will be getting an MWF refill. I will be glad to get it back into my rotation.

 

Are those perched on a cactus there, Mark?
