    It was great. I have a nice, BBS this morning. The razor feels substantial, with just a bit more heft to it than my Gillettes. I am very happy with it.

    Today's shave
    Hot water wash with nivea mens face wash and a washcloth
    @GDCarrington olivewood/ two band finest
    Route 66 Frozen Margarita
    Eaton 85 5/8 full hollow spike
    ICED L&M FloridaWater
    Today's shave was ok. My routine is somewhat disrupted. I'm gonna have to grow a goatee to allow three sunsoars tome to heal. They are very painful. Having to line out a decent goatee, and figure out how to shave around it. Well some of me is smooth and comfy. A little touch-up with yesterdays matador. I finished the margarita with iced florida water, what a nice match. Cudos Kt.
    Hope y'all did as well, or better.

    :signs154: Can that razor is very :signs021: but I remember you saying it was too aggressive, I found a review that says the problem is the way it comes assembled and how to fix it. I copied this for you so that you can do it and enjoy the razor even more my friend. :)
    Fix Info:
    (" I have heard other reviews warning about how aggressive this razor is. This may very well be because of an assembly error by whoever manufactures these fine razors. All four of my razors have arrived with the piece with the indicator line on backward. So when you dial the handle to the "1" position, you are actually sitting on "4". If you move to any higher than the dot higher than "2", you are outside of the normal operating range, with a blade that may swivel and move on you, because there is not enough spring pressure upon it. It's a dangerous situation, but it is easily fixed. Without a blade in the razor, unscrew the handle completely from the head, turn the indicator piece around 180 degrees, set it back onto the razor head, and screw the handle back on until it will turn no further. The indicator should be pointing to "1". From "1" to "6" will be your operating range, and should safely give you your desired shaving requirements. And you will probably love it, as I love mine.")

    Tuesday

    Prep: Warm Shower-WSP Bath Soap-Mahogany
    Soap: Reef Point-Peerless
    Razor: Gillette NEW Long Comb Bar Handle-New razor!
    Blade: Gillette 70’s “Spoiler” Super Stainless (5)
    Brush: Elite Razor Silvertip-24mmx50mm
    Aftershave: Reef Point Submariner

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

    Reef Point Peerless today. 20 seconds to load the Elite Silvertip. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I switched the Gillette “Spoiler” SS over to the NEW LC. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Reef Point Submariner.

    The NEW LC is outstanding as expected. On first blush, it does seem to be somewhat more aggressive than the NEW SC. Great shave!
