    What a nice, comfortable, BBS shave I had with a new Astra blade in my Super Speed and what a nice freeze the OSP Grapefruit Menthol soap gave me. Its scent is more citrusy than grapefruit, but I really like it. The Rubby Dubby Doo went on so bone-chillingly cold! :happy088: :happy088:

    I think it's a great brush regardless of price point. It just seems to get better with use. I've been using this particular brush for about 16 months. Soft and split tips and it never lets me down with making lather.

    Hey Friends,

    this was my yesterday´s shave, but i was too late to post it. Saturday my Ever Ready 1912 arrived...i´m sooooooo happy that i bought it. It shaves absolutely fantastic. Very gentle and extreme thoroughly. Never thought so. I will post some pics in the Ever Ready / Single Edge Thread later. So...here is my shave:

    Fantastic. No more to say. I felt like a god.

    Take care and have a wonderful time.

    Greetings

    Prep - Shower / Woods Of Windsor Cedar Woods soap / Pre-lather / 3 min steam
    Razor - GEM Micromatic Clog Pruf
    Blade - Personna GEM SE Stainless (#2)
    Brush - Omega 20106
    Soap - Arko
    After - Frozen towel / Alum & WH Mix
    Result - Way beyond BBS!!!

    Another rare daytime shave, peace and quiet, pure unadulterated bliss.
    It's shaves like this when I challenge the idea of closer shaves with a straight, even in the hands of the world's best barber.
    I know I couldn't get a more comfortable result.
    The first WTG pass was as good as three passes with a DE. The second ATG pass, left the shiny wet rubber finish that I only ever get with SE. I know I'll still be BBS by this time tomorrow.

    I have been shaving slower lately and it really has helped cut down on the possibilities of nicks and I have been getting great shaves. By "shaving slower" I mean the actual speed at which the razor moves along my face. 3 passes and darn near perfect.
