    Fantastic shave. First time using the TV Special and I'm very impressed with the shave, IMO all SS Flare Tips don't shave alike, I found the TV Special to be a little more efficient than my other SS.

    Love the pic. I'll have to try Feathers in my '58 Exec. Did you have to use a lower setting with the Feathers? I normally use the Exec on 6-7.

    Another 3 days growth, knocked down with ease.

    I used my Black Beauty set on 9 this time to see how it compared to the Fatboy on 9. Both did great but I believe the FB is just a bit smoother on my face. For the second pass, I set it back to 3 and was happy with a two passes DFS shave.

    Saturday

    Prep: Warm Shower-Stirling Bath Soap-Scots Pine Sheep
    Soap: The Savoy
    Razor: Maggard V2 Open Comb
    Blade: Gillette Platinum (1)
    Brush: Thater Silvertip-26mmx55mm
    Aftershave: Burberry Brit

    WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)

    The Savoy today. 20 seconds to load the Thater Silvertip. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I loaded a new Gillette Platinum in the Maggard V2 Open Comb. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Burberry Brit.

    Hello TSD - my saturday shave:

    meiss1.jpg

    - Meißner Tremonia Woody Almond
    - Grosvenor "Finest"
    - Mühle R41/iKon Bulldog
    - Gillette Silver Blue
    - Speick Men ASL

    This Meißner soap smells different from the Italian almond soaps like Cella, Valobra and the likes. More bitter than sweet almond, with a background note of campfire. Very pleasant actually. And all the Meißner soaps and creams I know are very good performers. Slickness, cushioning and skincare are on a pretty high level.

    The Mühle head balances nicely with the Bulldog handle. And the GSB and the R41 seem to get along pretty well. Two passes WTG and A/XTG, the WTG one was very gentle, ATG just a bit more rough (it was only my 4th shave with the R41, guess I still have to figure out the optimal angle). Some touchups under the chin and at the jawline - BBS shave. No nicks, almost no irritation, just a slight burning sensation from the Aftershave. Very nice :happy088:

    Have a great saturday y'all.

    A fantastic 2 pass shave this morning. I easily matched my normal work morning shave. But with the extra time and a few touch ups, I ended up with a BBS. Finished up with a splash of F&C Capri. I hope everyone has a great Saturday.

    Today I used my Gem Junior loaded with a Personna Gem blade. I am really liking the Gem.

    I went with the VDH luxury soap and the new Maggards synthetic brush with the faux marble handle. I finished it off with a knock-off old spice after shave.

    It was my first time using the Maggards brush and I was impressed. It's soft, but it has plenty of backbone. The brush loads up nicely with soap. It's my new favorite!
