Three Pass Shaving Routine.. Hot Water Prep & Massage with Argan Oil CV. Heljestrand SE Heljestrand Hollow Ground Blade x 5 French Fitchard Pure Badger Tabac Tallow Soap Humphreys Witch Hazel I Had the Most Wonderful Shave this Morning with my CV. Heljestrand Lather Catcher & Hollow Ground Blade..This Swedish work of Art is just the Dogs Danglies..Air Craft Precision Engineering of the Day..I am of the Opinion that No Factory Blade SE Razor can Look Near this Razor for Comfort & Over All Performance & a Luxurious Shave..This is One Darn Luxurious Shaver Indeed.. Anybody that is Having the Slightest Tugging Issues with these Hollow Ground Blades...Well..They are Not Proper Shave Ready & that's it in a Nut Shell..The Weight of the Razor is Too Much..Too Much Pressure..The Touch Needs to be Lighter then Light..Like a Feather Blowing in the Wind.. This is a Real Hussies SE cause it demands a Woman's Touch..I Rinsed with Cold Water & Applied My Witch Hazel & Not even a Hint of a Sting..I am thinking of Doing away with my Schick Twin Blade Shaving System because this CV. Heljestrand is has Just Taken Over that Role for Me.. I am On My 5th Shave Since Honing this Blade & its Just Settled in..It has a Killer Edge But as Smooth as a Butter Knife on the Face..I have the Most Perfect all Over Every Darn Direction BBS Result & My Skin is Velvety Smooth.. I Am of the Opinion that these Hollow Ground Blade SEs are the Grand Ultimate Shaving Instruments with a Properly Honed & Sharpened Blade..Oh..Yeah..Anybody that has One of these CV. Heljestrands..Use the Guard Bar..If You Don't Lift the Guard Bar You will Prematurely Blunt the Blade by Slipping it Down..Its Subtle but it Effects them Over Time.. That's Why its there & that's Why I Stopped Using Lather Catchers without a Guard Bar..Thats Me Talkin Tho.. Billy..

Baili TTO razor Treet Classic blade WD Silver Tip brush CO Bigelow SC Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe M&L Florida Water Cologne w/added menthol The Treet Classic delivered another smooth, comfortable close shave with little effort. Well, a little more effort than yesterday cuz the Baili is milder than my Weber. None the less, another DFS+ shave and I"m liking this blade a lot. So, I'm looking good, feeling good and smell great and off to a Dr. appointment. Now go enjoy your day folks.
Thanks, It feels very mild on the face. But I didn't get a very close shave with it last night, I'm hoping with a little more practice I can dial in the angle and get a little smoother.
