Another great C3 shave - easy peasy, smooth as can be, and the dolphin's are jealous once again. To save time I went with two passes today but you'd never know it from the results.

First shave with it and I really enjoyed the result. I like all the different injectors I now have. They're all fun to use. I'll go with the G8 for another few days. Have a great day!

Shake Sharp I had my last shave tonight with the Shake Sharp. Graciously on loan from @jmudrick. I had 4 full days to deal with. Using it with a Super Iridium blade and s blunted support blade. I have a fantastic BBS ZERO irritation shave. I am blown away by this razor. DE blades for me have been marginal. This setup performs as good as any of my SE and injectors. Thanks again Jeff.

After using the Pal and the E2 the G3 felt very mild. Needed 3 passes instead of the normal 2 but still resulted in a DFS.
Today's shave: January 22, 2017 Colonial Razors General w/West Coast Shaving 78B handle Feather AC Professional blade (11) Plisson synthetic brush Chiseled Face Groomatorium Ghost Town Barber soap & aftershave For the last couple of weeks I've been reaching for this razor more often than not. It feels quite mild during use but the resulting shave is extremely close and smooth. A lapse in focus does not necessarily mean blood and/or irritation and the shave cannot be beat . . . although it may be lacking in drama. The 78B handle is made of stainless steel, adding some weight to the aluminum General head and the knurling is "grippy." I've decided that I like black razors. Here are a Hawk and a couple of Generals, with handles from West Coast Shaving. --Bob
Mon 23rd Jan The Schick Type N3 equipped with a modern Schick Twin Blade [ 4-japan], is giving me some smooth and comfortable shaves, with a finish that almost rivals that I get with the General or Supply modern SEs.
It was a fantastic shave this morning with my Gem MMOC. Two passes got me a BBS shave. Paired with Stirling bay rum soap and old spice, it made for the perfect start to my day!
