The Cobra is certainly more aggressive and efficient than either the AlumiGoose or Mongoose. At last I am getting comfortable with gripping the Cobra and that helped getting the best shave yet with the CC. A 2 pass shave, ATG & XTG, followed by minor touch ups in my trouble spots allowed me to catch the baby. Finished the shave with a splash of Captain's Choice Bay Rum. I hope everyone has a great Sunday.

 

Beautiful brush and Red Tip Douglas, great tools for the job.

 

Mongoose Focus
I just had to play with my newest acquisition so I took a day off my focus. This Hoffritz is a nice razor. I got a two pass BBS today. Back to the Focus.

Straights Focus February 14:

Homemade PS Oil
Frank Shaving Pur-Tech Brush
TSD Lanolin Iced Sub-zero
Ralf Aust 5/8
Stirling Unscented PSB -- Mentholated
The Veg

I finally got a shave in this morning. I was feeling very fuzzy and a bit itchy. The Aust took care of the whiskers almost as if they weren't there. It was a very nice two pass shave resulting in a DFS. My family is starting to adjust to the new normal, and I figured The Veg would help that process out a bit.

 

Yes, I tend to agree. I have used Derby blades before in my Parker shavette and they used to give me weepers...I thought it was the open blade and my general lack of experience with the shavette. Then I tried started corking the blade to smooth it out and then they were fine. I thought about corking the blade this morning, but I decided to try it fresh from the package. The blade just seems to have a edginess to them that lends itself to weepers.

 

Eject blade, inject any other blindly, problem solved.....using my "Mr. Roboto" voice....

 

Thanks Doug. Everyone needs at least one Schick repeater in their den

 

What are your thoughts on the Plastic Shave? Kinda wacky scent huh?

 

wow its out there! probably way too sweet for most, as it is for me as well. But it dissipates quickly and has a great face feel like all the Myrsol products. Im very much hooked on their Limon and Blue.

 

Yeah, I own most of them and like em a lot. Masaje Antesol is my favorite.

 

Day 14 - Schick repeater focus

Another pretty decent shave again today. Nothing really to add now that Ive got this little razor sorted out. It could easily be a daily driver, but Ive got too many other great razors waiting to be used. I did commit to using it until the blade dulls and that hasnt happened yet, so will be using it again tomorrow.

 

Thanks, I'll look for one.
