Feb. 15/2016 Razor: Gillette Adj. Black Handle (5) Blade: Personna Red (6) Soap: Italian Barber Primavera Pre shave oil: homemade Brush:VDH AS: Gillette gel (emptied) Again, a 98% BBS, does not make sense as I`m not all that adept with the fine "Art of Shaving". I guess it just goes to show you, that with a little prep and a modicum of concentration, one can achieve almost anything. So, for those who are relative new to wet shaving, be encouraged. 1st pass a straight forward WTG, 2nd pass ATG/XTG, cross grain for clean-up. Voila!! Success. Happy shaving, y`all. Bill
Razor: Merker Futur Polished Chrome 2015 (1.5) Brush: Rubberset 400 #3 WD 24/50 Silvertip (Jedi Lightsaber) Mug: Old Spice 1985 Cobalt Blue Cream: Castle Forbes cedarwood & sandalwood cream Blade: Feather (2) Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Jack Black balm, Old Spice original Shulton 1956 glass AS Stopper #3 Put a little Castle into my favorite OS mug. This Lightsaber whipped up some nice warm lather. My Futur is a great razor, and on 1.5 it works great for me. I'm really happy with way it gives an effortless shaves. It's almost cheating how well it works. It made quick work in 2 passes WTG XTG. A little touchup on my neck ATG and done. The WH felt good, nice and fresh. After cleanup some JB and when it dried, some Old Spice original Shulton 1956, nice! I really like this razor. Y'all have a good one!
