    March Focus - Vintage and Carbon
    March 17, 2015 - Week 3 Day 3
    Prep - Hot shower and towel
    Brush - Omega Pro 48
    Soap - Proraso Green in tub - bowl lathered
    Razor - '46-'50 Gillette Tech
    Blade - voskhod-teflon-coated.jpg (1)
    Post - RazoRock Alum & Proraso

    Decided to check the Treet Silver after it seemed like it was dying yesterday. Can you say rust? Both edges were already showing a lot of rust which surprised me a bit. I had dried it and dipped in 91% alcohol both days. Guess that blade just has not desire to live beyond two days. So......after a month of blade trials and two weeks of carbons and untried blades I decided the rest of the week is all about a return to comfort. With the 1918 Old Style and Treet Classic looming on Sunday I need some luxury.

    Loaded the 48 with Proraso and bowl lathered. Loaded a Voskhod into the Tech and chased the baby. Three glorious passes with a Gillette Slide on the neck to finish and the baby is wrapped up all warm and cozy. Ahhhhhh the comforts of home. Thanks Mother Russia! You did it again!

    Second day with the French Famex. I've figured out that I much prefer the baseplate mounted as in the photo below as it gives a more aggressive shave.
    The shave wasn't as excellent as yesterday's which I think in part was due to the Bigelow shaving cream (first time using it).
    It lathered really, really well (see 2nd photo) but when shaving I felt it was lacking in protection.

    Razor: Famex w/ Gillette Common bar handle
    Blade: Rapira
    Brush: L'Occitane Plisson
    Soap: Bigelow shaving cream
    A/S: Provence Sante
