Nice looking setup today Doug.

Beautiful photo Doug!

Anytime Doug. Maybe the alumilite resin used in the handles has something to do with feel in hand, just feels different to my fingers. Nice high luster shine over my other beehives as well.

 

Here's what's goin down for Tuesday:

prep-Dial 4 Men Sub Zero Fresh Reaction Bodywash(in lukewarm shower)
shave-Stoylin Glacial Wintergreen Soap
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot + DisposeABLE*
brush-Stoylin Synthetic li'l brudder:
A.S.-Stoylin Sandpiper (w/Menthol)

*this could be the farewell shave for the Sensor Deuce if I end up liking the Barbasol DisposeABLE Twin-Blade, which goes into effect Wed. I have to drive a ways to get them(at Dollar Tree), but 3 Washingtons will get me 15 razors. Not bad .

3rd shave and 1st set up with the C plate. Very nice and comfy shave but hardly any blade feel though it cut the whiskers. It was a 3 pass plus some touch ups so it took a bit to get a BBS finish. Very, very little irritation along the neck and jawline but, the splashes helped it subside within 10-15 mins. Though a good shave, not as good and efficient as with the D plate. I think the C stays in the box, permanently. Have a great evening and fabulous shaves Gents...

and you are correct.
