Razor - Velvet Blade - shark Brush - custom cedar synthetic Post - medicated witch hazel A/s - pinaud bay rum This shave was awesome . The razor is so smooth. It’s a mild razor but smoother than a tech to me. This may be a razor that stays on top for me, I love my techs but yeah .. I know why it’s called velvet.
Maggard Old Type/DeFitch Handle Razor Bic Chrome Platinum Blade Frank Shaving 26mm Synthetic/Flashlight Handle Brush Dirty Deeds Green Tweed Soap Dickinson's Witch Hazel Aqua Velva After Shave A very nice shave today using the Maggard head and DeFitch handle I got from @John Ruschmeyer. The added weight of the handle made this feel mild, but very effective. Two passes with a bit of touch up for a very smooth BBS shave.

Pre: Warm water face wash Brush: Vie-Long 14846 Badger/Horse Soap: Dapper Dragon Kringle Razor: Gem MMCP Blade: Gem SS Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Dapper Dragon Kringle ASG First time using this soap and aftershave gel, very graciously piffed to me by a member on another forum. The soap's a pretty good performer and I like the scent, kind of like a mild TCP/liniment sort of thing. I was expecting much the same from the gel but was surprised by a nice cooling menthol hit. A very enjoyable shaving experience. Happy Shaving one and all!
