Just for you Andrew. Yes, it was my starter. Got a great shave. Truth be told, all one needs is a razor that holds the blade straight and tight. Everything else is just fluff.
Started the SEptember celebration with one of my favorite SE razors - the Schick C3. I've been working on my straight technique for most of the past month and the C3 was like magic. Super easy, fantastic reduction, and a smooth, smooth close finish.

Just remember the story I told in here about that poor Washington Capitals player, who had to deal with it TWICE in a matter of minutes-doing to himself first, then getting it poured on him by teenagers standing right over him from a balcony, just as he finished drying off from the first one That was FUNNY to see.
Gillette New Deluxe Bulldog Handle Gillette Silver Blue Semogue BC Cerda Arko / LPL smooshed in an OS Mug Alum Superior 70 This shave kind of sucked. It was my first shave with the brush and last shave from this blade. The brush will be good with some more use. At least it didnt smell bad.

ooooh...well, it was a couple summers ago, when the Caps got on the ALS bandwagon. Many of them did it. Great way to stay cold in the DC humidity.
