    2 pass shave today. great lather from the Fine soap. Did get some irritation and redness on the chin. Not the best shave but there's always tomorrow. Finished off with some Lucky Tiger which should cool things down a bit, but if not I may use some balm. Hope everyone had a great shave!

    Williams AV Ice Blue Cream
    Gem OCMM Brass
    Gem PTFE [ 5 ]
    Alum Rub /Rinse off
    Williams AV Ice Blue A/S Lotion

    Felt that this OC wth a flat blade plate ,was more aggressive than the one with two raised dimples. However,got a pretty good shave except around the neck when it pulled a bit ,probably the blade finished . Cannot complain as throughout its life have had some terrific shaves.

    Excellent shave this morning with the PAL Injecto-Matic fitted with a Dutch Danglies blade. Wonderful lather from La Toja shave stick, it's a favorite of mine. Three passes for a very refreshing dolphin smooth finish. Enjoy your day friends. :)

  14. Thank you Amigo. I easily get 8-10 shaves from each blade. I have never really pushed it past that but I am sure I could easily get more.

  17. Satisfying Saturday
    I made one pass with my T.T.C. Premier and finished up with the Futur. I got a couple weepers on my neck, but nothing serious. B-M Reserve Cool was able to put out the fire effectively. This was a good shave overall, helping me continue learning straight razors when on a day when I have more time to take it slow.
