    OneBlade Genesis V2
    Feather FHS-10 (4)
    30 DC LE with Omega Boar
    Route 66 Bay Lime Twist
    Folsom & Co Shambala

    The scent of Route 66 Bay Lime Twist is a wonderful mix of citrus and bay which last throughout the shave. Since I had the time the morning, I went with a full 3 pass shave paying particular attention to my trouble spots and skin stretching on my neck. Overall a very close and smooth near BBS shave. I finished the shave with a splash of F&C Shambala feeling refreshed. I hope everyone has a great Friday.

    Jul 28 SOTD:

    Ever-Ready Brush w/Cashmere knot
    La Toja Shave Stick
    Gillette Ranger Tech
    Feather (6)
    Stirling Unscented PSB
    Supply Provision Post Shave Tonic

    The Feather didn't feel quite as smooth today, which was day 6. I still got a decent shave, just not quite as comfortable. My previous experience with this blade was that it tended to drop off than other blades. The next few days will show if this is true. Again, the Cashmere knot was a joy to use. I hope everyone has a great day!

  15. Thank you Jim. My daughter taught me how to use the Depth Effect on my iPhone so I have been trying it out with different photos.
  16. Great picture and lineup Jim. You've already gotten further with the Feather than I would have guessed.
  17. Thank you, every now and then I get lucky.

    I had not thought about using it for shave pictures. You have definitely made it work well.
