Good shot Jim. Your brush looks good with the Tuxedo.

Thank you Doug.

Very Nice doug!

The dark LE with the tuxedo is stunning!

Great photo, Clint!

Nice Ranger Tech and 400, Jim!

Thank you Andrew

July 27, 2017- Proline

Razor: Eversharp-Schick J1 Injector
Blade: Schick Proline B (2)
Brush: Razorock Plissoft 22
Cream: KMF fragrance-free
Post: Alum, WH

Another great shave with the J1 loaded with the Proline B. The Japanese Schick Injector blades have a bit of a reputation for being better than the Chinese ones and much more like the classic Dutch ones. I can only assume that the Proline takes that and turns it up a further notch.

A little noise from the Alum and no blood.

Can you send a link to the seller for the proline type b ?

Must respect spike. Must respect spike. Must respect spike!
I have a nice scratch today. It didn't bleed too bad, but it looks bad. Oh well, it's been a while since I've done this. I need to watch this razor.

27 July 2017 Sure Happy It's Thursday OLD Blade Focus Shave

Pre: Hot water, soap from the container and a hot towel
Razor: 1911 Gillette Single Ring OLD type
Blade: PolSilver Super Iridium
Brush: JR#161 NY Mets Special Edition
Soap: Catie's Bubbles "Florentine Fern"
Post: Hot/Cold rinse, alum block, cold towelx2, Dominello Vitali Calming Post Shave Moisturizer
After Shave: Speick for Men, Erfrischende Pflege

Today I decided to take a walk in the woods. So using JR#161 I lathered up "Florentine Fern" by Catie's Bubbles. A really nice fougere type soap. I took a flyer when I bought it having no idea what it was gonna smell like. The first time I opened it my first thought was "forest". It is very slick, smells great and the Post face feel is fantastic. My usual 2.5 pass shave with the OLD/PSI duo yielded a BBS shave. Apparently my face likes this particular soap, razor, blade pairing. A BBS shave this late in the shave week is really encouraging. I may have to pay closer attention to pairings than I have been.
Splashed on some Speick A/S, which goes very nicely with this soap and Thursday was off and running.
Have a great shave, have a great day!

Brian, I saw your post on the SOTD and was going to comment that while it is a beautiful razor the spikes looked very intimidating.

Thank you, gentlemen!

Great picture, Brian! I hope the scratch isn't too bad.

Beautiful picture, Mark! The brass General is a very photogenic razor!

Yes, I have to be on my game with this one.

Thanks. A styptic pencil stopped this one. No flap

The Koraat is just stunning.

The MdC Vetyver is scent is just fantastic.

Thanks very much Andrew.

Good picture and setup with a beautiful brush amigo.

Good shot Brian. The flat top looks great in that handle.
