    I received a slightly closer shave with the Rapira Platinum Lux than I was receiving with the Sputnik.

    SOTD Saturday.

    Razor 1958 Executive (7)
    Blade Astra SP (1)
    Soap Maggard London Barbershop


    Saturday I moved the setting on the Exec to 7. What a difference from the lower settings I'm used to. Right away I knew I had to be careful and watch my technique and angle. I'm not too sure about the protection of this Maggard soap, it seems to disappear once the razor has passed, no residual sickness.

    All was going well until my darling wife came home, rushed into the bathroom, wrapped her arms around my waist and innocently said,"Hi honey, I'm home!". That's when the bloodshed started. I finished up the shave with a nice 1" slice half way between my chin and my lower lip. Boy is that sore! If she wasn't so cute, I might have been mad.[​IMG]

    Cream: Lea Classic
    Bowl: Fendrihan

    Moved the Executive to #7 and didn't notice any difference from yesterday's #6. Had a DFS with 3 passes tonight. Fine American Blend is a very good A/S.

    How low where before going to #7. I moved up from #6 and didn't notice any difference to my knowledge at all. Might have gone a little slower.

    I know the Feather razors are expensive, do you think they are much better than less costly razors? I like your picture and the way you displayed your gear.:happy088::happy088: Is the Bay Rum bottle glass?

    Sunday's plans will be the following:

    Neutrogena Men Facial Wash :love055: :love055:
    Large Horsehair Barbershop
    Super Speed/Personna day 6
    Stirling Black Ice SS :love055: :love055: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:
    Gold Bond Moisturizer :love055: :love055: :love055: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:
    Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS :love055: :love055: :love055: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:
    Chabrawichi 555 Cologne

    Hey, I don't see the Black Ice soap on Rod's website lately and I sure hope he didn't discontinue it because I love it so much. It has a wonderful black liquorice scent with awesome lather and although it's nowhere nearly as frigid as its cousin, which is the Glacial Obsidian soap it's still got a most pleasant cooling effect along with the brilliant skincare which is so characteristic of the Stirling soaps. The Gold Bond continues the cooling and soothing, and the Aqua Velva completes the job perfectly. I love the Chabrawichi 555 cologne from Egypt - its scent is a combination of lemon and lavender. I remember buying it in Cairo and Alexandria for under a dollar when the wife and I were vacationing in Egypt a while back. ;) :D

    Sunday's
    ZCOLDWATER1.jpg

    Dove Men Face Wash
    RazoRock P.160
    Bethlehem Olivewood ST
    Gillette President
    Personna SS
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Lemon WH
    Pinaud Clubman

    The RazoRock P.160 Shaving Cream face-lathered well with my Bethleham Olivewood Silvertip brush. Two passes with my Gillette President razor and a Personna SS blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Pinaud Clubman after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Don, staying away from that thread does not ensure you will not get a special CT! Take it from those who know! :D

    I was using 6 on Thursday and Friday, then 7 today. It just seemed like 7 was much more aggressive-feeling, more blade gap or something.
