Best shave to date with this razor. I am still working with the angle of attack a bit, and I think I nailed it today. I really cut down on the irritation and am DFS. Before this razor, I would have said BBS, but honestly ghost razor has redefined BBS for me.

Shave 7
Friday morning shave - goal shave without curing myself again. In the past 3 weeks, I've picked up 5 8 9 new flavors of soap because I wanted different scents I have the obesession and the means right now!

1st pass on cheek was smooth and close - paying close attention to the cut next to my mouth from the last shave. YAY! NO BLOOD! The first pass was going well until I tried to shave too far across my lip with my dominate hand. Cut myself again just above Thursday's cut. Lots of blood this morning. The rest of the shave was a formality. I now know what the Broncos felt like during the super bowl two years ago. Retail therapy helped though. Speed by AoS and picked up a lemon lavender soap and bowl. Now tomorrow got to get ready to swim from Alcatraz.

1st - WTG: N/S on face and neck
2nd - XTG: E/W face
3rd - ATG/XTG: w/ Merkur Progress DE with Wilkenson Sword (7 shaves)

Cheers,
Eric

And I thought I liked you.

Had all of Columbia I could stand just doing in processing at Ft Jackson. Took my daughter to tour SC and I was positive all day since it was a full ride if she went there. Her first comment as we left, "Free is not good enough, I would need to be paid to go here"

Thank you. We all get ceramic gifts each year. Let's just say some are better than others.

After this weekend with the 1912, I too will be using the Goose with Super Pros. Look forward to your report after the first shave.

Welcome back, Adam. I hope you and your family had a fantastic time in Hawaii!

And some other Gamecocks gave Auburn all they could handle today.

Razor: Valet Auto Strop Model "C"- 1935-40/ Gillette 1958 TV Special(5) Feather blade)
Blade: Valet New Process (5)
Brush: Frank Shave Best Badger Beechwood Handle 22/55
Soap: Synergy Shaving Soap Bay Rum
A/S: Captain's Choice Bay Rum
Day 12

Have to admit I love the smell of Bay Rum when I open this soap and get ready to shave. Valet will stay n my rotation now that I'm improving using the strop. Five passes with the strop and the blade is ready for a 2 pass shave. Cleanup with the Gillette and end up with a DFS. Finish with the Bay Rum A/S, then settle in for enjoyable Saturday evening. Have an excellent weekend everyone.

Outstanding affect.

From the finish line at aquatic park.

Good luck. We are all pulling for you. Well I am for sure.

Congratulations! You are making some great progress with your shaves!

I hope you and Mrs. F. have a great time!

Clint, she did a great job! It's a keepsake.

They did not follow the prescribed protocol. They were supposed to use ALC (Automatic Level Control) when they tapped into this signal!

​

Kerry, I hope you get some relief soon with your asthma. Hopefully, the air quality will improve as we move through September and into October. And it's hard to beat the Goose and the Omega Pro 98!

Yes, good luck. Hope it goes well. Lots of admiration for those of you who can swim that far.

Gary, I've been looking for a new song that I can use in the shower. I just don't have enough room in there for all the choreography.

Definitely pulling for you! Good luck!!
