    Superb 3 pass shave. I can feel the Polsilver getting a bit tired but, it still managed in providing a stellar shave and result with the Dart. The Olympus provided prodigious amounts of lather, glide, slickness and amazing cushion to go along with it’s intoxicatingly decadent masculine scent. Have a great evening and shaves Gents.... :happy088:

    PAA Big Shave East soap, Omega Pura Setola Bristle brush, Rockwell razor with an Astra blade, Chatillon Lux Fourth and Pine aftershave.

    Huge lather, two passes, but really only needed one. Excellent shave, so close I might not need one tomorrow.

    July 23 - Shaving like the Fuzzter!

    Razor - Gem Junior LC
    Blade - [​IMG] (2)
    Soap - Stirling Bay Rum
    Brush - Wolf Whiskers Custom Silvertip
    Post - Alum, TSD Bay Rum AS

    I stayed with the Gem Junior and Treet blade. Realized I had been stuck on my synthetics for a long time so soaked the Wolf Silvertip and got it ready to go. Stirling Bay Rum for the soap and scent. Gave it the feel and smell of a classic vintage shave. I also have the TSD Bay Rum AS that @Paul76 gave me at the meetup and I'll use that tomorrow morning as I head out to work.

    Two passes again tonight and once again the Treet carbon SE blade was fantastic. I don't see myself ever buying another stainless SE blade. The CVS SE blades are also carbon, but I'll most likely source some of the Treets to have on hand when I decide to use SE razors in the future. I love the sound and the smoothness. Carbon really does add a great feel and sound to the shave, especially on the old LC razors. The Gem Jr. is more fun every time I use it.

    For touch ups at the end I once again went with Fuzzball Slides to finish up. The baby is in the house, it smells like the Caribbean and all is well in the world. Great way to finish up the day.
