The PAA Bakelite slant is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. I really like how light it is, some may complain about the weight, but i find it makes it very easy to keep the pressure to a minimum. I can't recommend it enough. Razor: PAA Bakelite Open Comb Slant Blade: Gillette Rubie Brush: Frank's Finest Lather: Bump Patrol Post: Amici
TabOCtober 10 SOTD: Razor: Gillette NEW LC, fat handle Blade: Treet Black Beauty (4) Brush: Maggard Razors 24mm Synthetic, purple handle Lather: Tabac AS: Tabac Today's rough shave was brought to you by a Treet Black Beauty. I am sure my technique was off a bit, but I am not sure that the blade isn't at least partly to blame. I was going to bin it anyway because I have a few other blades I want to try this month.

October 11, 2016 Wolfman WR-01 OC + Ti with Triad Ti 7 O’clock Blue (2) Rudy Vey Rover with TGN Finest Reef Point Dragon’s Blood Witch Hazel I am truly impressed with the Reef Point soap. It is a brand that is not discussed much on the forums but I have found it be very good soap. The soap is very easy to lather and exceptionally slick. While, the three pass shave today ended in my normal near BBS , it required more work than usual. The 7 O'clock blade is just not as sharp as my normal Feather. Maybe the results would be better if I had paired the blade with a heavier razor. Overall, it was still a very good, smooth and irritation free shave. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

Today I used Gillette Bostonian? Circa 22? Serial number 26A? This model differs from all I've seen becsuse the end knob is patterned after the bulldog knurling. Either it was swapped out (but it has the same silver finish) or came from Gillette as an oddball. Because of the strangely low serial number, was it from leftover parts? What do y'all think?
Tuesday, October 11, 2016 Simpson Chubby 3 Manchurian Panna Crema Nuavia Verde Timeless OC with UFO TiTAN Fine L Personna 74 #10 Barrister and Mann Reserve Cool
Razor: Gillette OC Blade: Personna Platinum (3) Brush: El Druida Red Heart Chakte Kok/African Blackwood 2 Band Badger. Soap: Eufros Tierra Humeda Aftershave: Myrsol F./Extra I have been getting some very close comfortable shaves with this razor. The Personna Platinum works very well for me. This has to be one of my favorite shave brushes both in appearance and functionality. I believe it could whip up a great lather with a bar of soap.
