    OCtober 8 SOTD:

    Stirling Synthetic Brush
    MdC
    Gillette New LC
    Stirling Unscented PSB
    Chatillon Lux Unconditional Surrender

    It is amazing at how good shaves are after a day or two off. It was very smooth and effortless for just shy of a BBS. I finished with some Unconditional Surrender, which was the first time my wife has been around while using it. She definitely approves, as do my my kids. I am looking forward to this Sunday. I hope everyone has a great day!

    Today was day 2 back with the straight. Although I enjoyed two gash-free passes and was feeling pretty good about myself having escaped injury and finishing with a third pass with the DE, this satisfaction lasted only until I applied the alum block. Pretty sure someone substituted a bar made from acid. Only now, four hours later, is the fire starting to subside. A few reminders that I forgot - 1. Skin stretch like your epidermis depends on it. It does. 2. Go slow - this isn’t a quick, casual shave. 3. Be patient. You are at least 100 shaves away from being good at this, and the bar is ultimately set higher than “don’t cut yourself”.

    Great looking photo. At least you finished the drive before all the weather arrived.

    The brush really pops against the background.

    Fantastic photo and lineup Jim.

    Razor: Gillette New LC
    Blade: Dorco STD-301(4)
    Brush: Razorock Plissoft 22
    Soap: Williams + KMF fragrance-free
    Post: Alum, Listerine, WH

    I had a bit of latitude with today's shave and broke out the New LC. Out of curiosity, I swapped over the Dollar Store Dorco blade which I had been using in the English Flat Bottom New. This gave me my first comparison of how the two razors perform. Superlather was courtesy of William and KMF.

    Impressions... The New LC is definitely the more aggressive of the two razors but not by all that much. The real difference seems to be a bit more blade feel from the New LC. By comparison, the Flat Bottom New seems to draw more from the changes made for the Tech. Both, however, are excellent razors.

    Two passes to an issue-free BBS, including a totally quite Alum.

    BTW, the New LC clamps the overly thin Dorco blade sufficiently to let it perform its best.
