Glad you are feeling better!

 

Thanks Joe! Glad to hear that you are feeling better today.

 

Unfortunately I have to save this setup for tomorrow (skip today). I tried a test lather of my Ian S Cinnamon Girl last night after reading a couple guys talking about it here yesterday. I face had a reaction to it immediately with irration, redness and now broke out in a rash this morning. I will likely be running another PIF to get this stuff out of my house.....

I picked the Merkur 34c HD to try out the Rapira blade. One of the blades I won in a generous PIF from @NCoxSTL. Thanks again Neal! Loaded one up and checked the alignment and was good to go for my first pass WTG. First pass was OK no tugging. A little rinse to see how we are doing and relather for a XTG pass on my face and ATG on my neck. Need a third pass to finish up as there is a lot left. Some more lather for touch up on my neck and we are done. I could do some more buffing but I can feel some burn already. Should have stopped at 2 passes. Warm water rinse and pat dry. Some WH and I needed it. After cleanup some Neutrogena Balm, then some Vintage Old Spice. The blade was ok, shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, but I would not replace my Feathers. Glad I tried them. It was a little rough boy, take it away Billy!

 

Beautiful brush, Patrick!

 

Hey man, nice shot!

 

Cinnamon is probably the riskiest EO.

 

Very nice shot! Cool blade!

 

What a beautiful handle on that brush!

 

Classy shave setup Obi!

 

Thank you! The original schulze is an old trusty blade that holds a great edge and provides a great shave.

 

Thank you.

 

Sorry to hear that. I hope your face quickly heals.

 

Seeing this brush made me google and check out their site!

 

Love that brush and razor! Looks like a great shave!
